Score-study the first three pages (sufficient for now) of Samuel Barber's A Stopwatch and an Ordnance Map, Op. 15 (1940, a wartime eulogy, in Pythonesque fashion) and edit page 4 of The Decameron - Fourth day: V. Lisabetta's Brothers Slay her Lover on the 24 day summer temperature, just barely, at 70, with Harriet heading out to the South Bay. In the evening,
head down 80 for the monthly
San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra Board Meeting,
discussing program logistics for the June 2014 concert,
returning
and
ricochetting on to
Davis again,
for more wisdom re Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto, Op. 15 (1939, all three movements redolent of Beethoven's related endeavor and further wartime concerns), plus Dmitri Shostakovich's Tahiti-Trot, Op. 16 (1928, an orchestration of Vincent Youmans's No, No, Nanette: Tea for Two, 1925) and Barber's Reincarnations, Op. 16 (1940, for a third music, with aforementioned Britten and Barber Stopwatch, in tempore belli).
