First Awesome Orchestra Concert (at Berkeley's Firehouse Art Hangar, conducted by David Moschler),
featuring Ottorino Respighi's Fountains of Rome and
three fine classical-rock crossovers by
guitarist Matt Benedict-Montgomery,
as orchestrated by percussionist / guest conductor Brian Adam McCune
(first read by the group this past April 20 -- the last of the set with a nice Do Re Me, Re Me Re Te + plus an interior minimalist section of 8 beats, with a rest on one, and 2 sixteenths and an eighth alternately on and off the beat).
Before this, the morning and early afternoon with Harriet and Tisha,
an eighth page of the performance edition for The Twelve Fingers: XII. March, and ninth score-study system re Kurt Weill's String Quartet No. 1: I --
heading
down
the
Awesome
Freeway
and
Side Streets soon enough to the
Awesome Rehearsal and
Break:
high 87
(a rather brisk-chilly 69 in Berkeley) on the 139th day of summer,
returning
to
the warmer clime by evening.
