October 19 - News to Storm Your Heart


Up reasonably early, doing two more pages of orchestration to Moses and Aaron: VIII. Intonation - "Then Moses Called" and producing a transposition of Antigone: XVI. You Think You Knew for Micah Epps (he requests down to Dm from Em, but turns out that a version in Cm is already in the computer, so I bring that, and he likes it).


Rehearsals for both John Billota's


Quantum Mechanic and my



Antigone go very well, despite present company having to cover on piano (Keisuke has a conflict today), and William Loney gets to choreograph



XI. The Spring Is Wound.


Production meeting follows,



while William works with Dalyta on XIX. News to Break Your Heart.



I drop William off at his Oakland place (Harriet goes to a grant-writing meeting in San Francisco); heading home, the setting sun sets off the Lagoon and


North Lagoon Mountains,


and I finish orchestration of M&A: VIII and begin IX. Storm/Tempest - "At Midnight,"



not to be confused with Tempest Storm.
