Pdf of Spectral Preludes: VIII. Blue-Purple, page 3, heading off with Harriet to Vacaville's
Buck
Avenue and
Epiphany
Episcopal
Church.
A bit later,
make the way over to Big 5 to requisition a long-coveted pair of evening wear,
then homeward for
enlightenment including
Bright Star (2009, re John Keats) and more Brideshead.
Out
again
to
Community
Presbyterian
Church
for
a
Christmas Extravaganza
that visually
lives up to the name,
and sonically sometimes --
that being a boffo run at
Go Tell It On the Mountain
(with Mummenschanz-style puppets)
and a couple of transition passages,
where the pre-recorded backbeat is not so present.
But it's clearly a big success, again impressive in its own way, and hard to argue with in the context of contemporary popular culture, calling into question the traditional approach of the morning service.
Break for coffee and pie thereafter at Joe's Creekside Cafe,
now relocated in the old post office, rather than in its old location along Ulatis Creek.
Second
time
residencewise, even more Brideshead, plus composition of Double Piano Concerto: III (11 -- also sending off pdf score and recording to Ariella and company) and The Decameron - Third Day: VII. "Tedaldo Elisei Delivers the Husband of Monna Ermellina from Peril of Death" (13).
