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...
