September 30 - They Call It Stormy
Barely the
189th day of summer,
the sun finally coming out late afternoon for a high of 75,
but before this,
Week 7 with the Theoreticians, J.S. Bach Cantata 140 ("Wachet Auf"): VII. Chorale, first phrase for dictation and board harmony, including inversions, Bb and Eb Major, and Minor Scales C Melodic, B, and F# Natural and Harmonic, plus performance of Mark Alburger's Psalm 92, second movement.
Tutorials and general lingerings with students in Owen's office and classroom,
partly in preparation for substitute teaching on Chorales in Theory II.
Finally mail out taxes to the various authorities, as well as parts to Double Piano Concerto ("Fellow Travellers") for upcoming San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra,
then
high-
tail
it
homeward
under
glowering
and
lowering
skies
via
a
variety
of
errands,
to compose page 41 of At a Medical Deposition and Psalm 102,
alongside of eyebrow-raising and
enlightening
videos.
