That's the end of the day,
proceeding with the class in preparation for Quiz 13 (Terry Riley through Roger Waters),
to a concluding rendezvous with Owen and company, and an impossible pdf for Merton Songs 81, plus composition of The Decameron 90 and sixth system re Psalm 94.
The morning starts with completion of the press release for the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra's 10th-Anniversary Gala, followed by the flowery/sunny commute,
and the last day of regular theory presentations,
with Sting's King of Pain for dictation, keyboard-solfege, and board harmony.

Unusual beginning of the day with Harriet, but all ends resoundingly well...
