December 17 - Finales and Futures


Final day of Diablo Valley College Fall 2012 Music Theory,


finishing up the exam,


then vollying forth,


wrapping up Composition 4's (fine pieces including that of Emily Braunecker) and


continuing with the 5's, featuring imaginative work by James Piscatelli, Ivan Tinoco, Joe Villanueve,


TJ Hurst,


Miles Davis,


Nick Denning,


Jordan Price,


Lucas Brandt,


Chika Asakawa,


John Veitch, and Mark Alburger (Double Piano Concerto: III work-in-progress).   A truly great class!  Best wishes to all!


Before this, begin pdf of Spectral Preludes: XI. Green before making off in the early, beautiful-


but-threatening


light


to


DVC.


After,


sinuously


homeward


in


strikingly


clearing


skies,


for


quality


time


with Harriet, plus composition of DPC: III, page 19.


Out again, analogously rather roundaboutedly, to Davide's for the monthly San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra Board Meeting, where much is decided, then home via the


crescent-moony Great Highway, Marin (the 21st-Century Music postbox with plenteous greetings), etc.,


for the first part of Christianity: The First 2,000 Years, additionally composing The Decameron - Third Day: VII (20)
