February 14 - The Age of Chivalry
The night class proceeds from the Latin Lyric Song of the Ass and Orkney Islands Hymn to St. Magnus through Indian Classical Music to Leonin and Perotin, and beyond,
with Quiz 3 on much of the former.
Before
this
Music Theory is on a similar tragectory, harmonizing the first nine bars of "Little Pierre's" Hec Dies
in fine
fair weather.
The beautiful day begins quite early with the transit past the
Lagoon
Mountains,
over the
Sulfur Springs
Divide
(including Lynch Canyon and
St. John Mine Mountain Ranch)
and
Napa River
Bridge, across
Solano Marsh, through
Sears
Point
and
Petaluma Plain to
Marin,
curving south on 37 and
101,
rendezvousing with Crystal and Stanley at the residence,
then proceeding to the Open Space,
where the
vistas are
as spectacular
as the
general time together. Oh, yes, somehow the pdf of Merton Songs 8 is accomplished, as well as composition for 9th measure Psalm 86 and 18th page Decameron. Also do a new piano vocal for Guillaume de Machaut's La Messe de Nostre Dame: I. Kyrie, first phrase, which could be perceived as
D:
i5
v5 ii bVII6
i5 i6
IVsus4 (!) ii5 vi6
bVII5 bIII3
ii5 iii
IV5 ii6-3
V5 bII5 bVII6
i5 i

A busy day, wishing all a Happy Valentines (celebrations in this regard have seemingly been going on for about a month by now)...
And, speaking of the last word, now at 74 MB (7.27%) of the 1024 MB -- more than a week's extra space vis a vis calculated usage...
