Up to the Diablo Valley Callege Arts Division Office for
paperwork,
after a week of Theory substitution for Monty Bairos --
his folks receiving review of the Circle of Fifths via examples from J.S. Bach, Hector Berlioz, and Frederic Chopin
+ Whole-Step / Half-Step and
Half-Step / Whole-Step Octatonic Scales --
the Alburgerian group reconciling itself to Quiz 12 -- Voice-Leading -- with the musical examples drown from Leonard Bernstein, Paul McCarntey, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, and Roger Waters.
Lab time
is
then
followed
by
the
beautiful
break
via
Route
4, ascending and
plummeting
through
Franklin
Canyon,
and
I-
80,
to
Alameda
[County]
along
the
waterfront
and
over the
Bay Bridge
to the third rehearsal of San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra Fellow Travelers set,
featuring Mark Alburger's
Double Piano Concerto ("Fellow Travellers"): I
and
Eduard Prosek's
The Curse
(concert November 9,
Old First Church).
Long commute home completes the rough circle of the opening one,
which was typically down to Cordelia Junction and thence via 680
to
the
collage
of
the Diablo Valley College area, on the 220th day of summer, high, as two days ago, 73, somewhere working in composition of page 20 for Communist Manifesto.
