It's never the same sunrise or first day of a semester,
and this one
begins
down
the
early-morning
corridor
to another great Theory group, enriched with some in-class adds,
on a busy circuit that eventually leads to checking out Owen's contingent, as they review key signatures.
Head up to the
Arts Division for paper work,
then
north
and
northeast
homeward to take in
The Life of Verdi (1982), with Harriet, over editing of Psalm 109 "Hold Not Thy Peace" (5 pages / 10 systems total, after Thomas Morley) and score-study re Zoltan Kodaly's Psalmus Hungaricus. (page 2). Also send out to Opus Project folks the evolving repertory w/r/t next six months...
