April 16 - Home and Abroad



Pdf of Merton Songs 66, and composition for The Decameron 75 and fourth system Psalm 93, before chatting with Marie and KC,


and ultmately heading out for


Diablo Valley College and Week 12 -- "Voice-Leading for Keeps" --  the Theoreticians receiving dictation and board harmony re Paul McCartney's Yesterday (the first seven bars).  Linger in the lab thereafter just long enough to Tritone-Orchestra record The Cop and the Anthem: V. Five Blocks Away,


as the open road


beckons


once more,


counter-clockwising it


around the Bay,


up


and


over the Half Moon divide,


and


down the Coast (past


Triple D


Ranch) to


Tunitas


Creek,


walking


south


until


topping


the


Gordon


Ridge plateau


(dividing the aforesaid drainage from


San


Gregorio)...


part of a series of connected hikes stretching from Marin County's Pierce Point.


Return


north


in


the


blazing


late-


afternoon


sun


(over


Devil's


Slide


and


Pacifica) into a


somber,


spangled


dusk to


Erling's,


for another profitable San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra board meeting,


looking towards the June 9 show.
