Sergei Prokofiev Peter and the Wolf: Peter's Theme for dictation, sight-singing, and harmony today (as well as the old Disney video), then listening to fine music by Desiree and John, and assisting Seth in the lab, as well as recording Moses and Aaron: VI.-VIII., experiencing a bit of trouble getting the midi files transferred from email into the PC desktop at school, but rectified when using laptop, burning the files onto a CD and then importing them into the Dell that way. Are we particularly surprised?
While taking a coffee break with Doug outside of the lab, Penny relays a Music Department phone call to me -- highly unusual -- it's Marty Rockeach with intriguing news from St. Mary's College -- so must follow up later....
With Moses I.-VIII. now in the iPod, head off to Sacramento State University Library to track down Ferde Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite (two copies in the stacks, which is as many as there are in the entire U.C. system -- UCLA and UC Irvine being the only sources -- incredible. Have almost enough change to make fair-use research copies (only have 20's, which the machine does not accept; and some loose change, which it does). A couple of Good Samaritin students provide me with an extra 20 cents and decline pennies in exchange.
A bit of a wander home, then two more pages of M&A: IX. Storm/Tempest - "At Midnight" orchestrated, with Grofeian advice...
...again, not to be confused with Tempest Storm (yes, this was just a lame excuse to post another picture -- she is celebrating her 80th birthday this year, and is still on the burlesque circuit as the art form's oldest active participant, years after her earlier days above)...
