September 27 - Various Musical Opportunities


Overnight, hear tell of interesting prospects, meriting update of various materials --


so,


after


the


requisite


morning commute and weekly



Theoretical Quiz (examples for this the sixth keyed to baroquish Monteverdi, Gesualdo [arguably a stretch], Schutz, Purcell, Vivaldi, and J.S. Bach),


make


the


typical


Marin transit (picking up current and back issues of the Journal from the printer enroute)


with a


twist: first down to


Westminister Presbyterian Church,


happily re-encountering Barbara Rowe, who from her old position as Lay Pastor is now the official clergiate head, with her charming daughter (who played Jesus back in Stephen Schwartz's Godspell and/or Andre Lloyd Webber's epinonimous Superstar) now Professor of Geology at McGill University in sometimes iceboxy Montreal.


After


a


nice


visit,


head


southwest


to


Mount Tamalpais United Methodist Church, of concert-presenting fame, among other qualities (memories including what was among the earliest reviews for 20th-Century Music, as well as an impressive Russian telling of Igor Stravinsky's Histoire du Soldat).


Meet up with the friendly Office Manager,


revisiting the lovely sanctuary and other interesting spots,



then bop north through Larkspur


and


Ross to check the post box, and Princeton has re-subscribed to the Journal.


From


here, 


time


to


navigate


a


hasty


retreat


through


Sonoma


and


Solano


homeward,


or


at


least


as


quick


as


active


traffic


will


allow,


via


various


scenic


strategems,


for dinner and a movie with Harriet, coterminous with typical artistic tasks:
