July 9 - Covering the Subject
Another deliriously beautiful day,
the
fog
hanging
over
the
Sulfur Springs Mountains all the way to
Diablo Valley College,
where Music Historians
gather for a romp through the
Classical Era, looking ahead to the Romantic (a typewritten version of above may be found as part of the July 5 entry).
Duck
out
towards
Berkeley
thereafter,
arriving
a little early at the
Music Library, but eventually gaining access, and discovering that the making of photocopies has gone high-tech: now scanners, computer screens, guest cards that must be activated not on these computers but the ones in the lobbies. Takes longer to arrange for the work to be done than to do the actual task at hand, nevertheless, finally all is accomplished, and much is learned re Igor Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements in the meantime.
From
here
wind through
the
Claremont Highlands,
to
Sheli
Nan's
artful
and
viewful
aerie.
Like
even-aged
fire
pines,
the
houses
in
the
community
all
date back
only to the time of the 1990's firestorm.
Nice place
to visit...
Meanwhile,
we talk of ambitious plans for the future,
and look forward to whatever transpires.
There's time yet to pick up belated June 2012 21st-Century Music Journals from Copyworld,
and
make it
over to
Marin, with paper grading at Celia's, errands, and financial greetings at the post box --
before whisking
north on
101 through
familiar landscapes,
east
on
37,
and
northeast
again
homeward
to
take up the typical remaining musical tasks of the day:
Composition - pages 5 and 32 of Psalm 100 and The Decameron - Second Day
