October 30 - Early Rewards

 
Receive three messages (two phones with an intervening text), and by the third, launch into to action to substitute for Brett Peppo in his Music Literature class. 


So, out the door in spectacularly clear --


near


dramatically


foggy --


conditions,


down


the


scenic


680


corridor


to


the


environs


of Diablo Valley College,


simply administering a quiz. 


After this,


there's time to experience the end of Joyce Pricco's Vocal Workshop,


before Theory, where we take in a few minutes each of Harry Partch's Barstow, Richard Rodgers's The Sound of Music: Do-Re-Mi, Joe Garland's In the Mood, and Olivier Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time, Turangalila Symphony, and a birdcall lecture.  Dictation and Board Harmony follow on Jester Hairston's Elijah Rock, followed by accompanying


Carol to Victoria's Secret


and


Elephant Bar,


for more wonderful times.


Return


through


similar scenecronicity to finish the


Troubadour Songs (Seven Troubadours) cycle with I. William IX of Aquitain - "Farai un vers, pos mi sonelh" (9 pages total), continuing the composition of The Decameron - Third Day: Novel IV (page 11) and beginning the pdf for Lot in Life: IV. Lothario -- much of this over dinner and videos with Harriet and Marek.
