April 30 - Howling at the Sun
Write up the review of the Cage Centenary: Music for Percussion show, and howl down the freeway, accompanied by cavorting canine raising its voice
on
high
all
the
way
past
goldens
and
greens
to
the
musical
strains
of
DVC,
where the Theorists await for a double-dose of Glassian dictation and board harmony (Satyagraha: Act I, Scene 1 and Akhnaten: Akhnaten and Nefertiti), plus 5 seventh chords on three notes (G, C, and F).
Ensuing Tritone-Orchestra recording in lab
are
Psalm 85 "Lord You've Been Merciful" (a glacial-modal version of the Charles Ives Variations on America opening, inspired by the William Schuman orchestration)
Psalm 86 "Bow Down Thine Ear" (electric four-part minimal-modal counterpoint after Felix Mendelssohn)
followed
by
a
scenic
return,
for pdf of Merton Songs, page 80, and composition re The Decameron (89) and Psalm 94 (system 5) --
echoing under the
moon.
