More
gloom,
eventually
attaining
the
proper
spot in the universe for bestowing upon the
elect, select Theoreticians Charles Ives's Variations on America: Spanish Variation for Dictation, Keyboard Solfege, and Board Harmony -- followed by following Owen's class.
Yet
more
darkness (yet certainly renewed greeness) up the 680 /
80
corridor,
and
clearly
(or rather, cloudily)
not without its
beauty.
Upon return, grade papers and prepare for the evening class,
which
happens
soon
enough,
through the Classic and Early Romantic periods.
Wrap up the day out with Owen, the Tims, and Sal --
before the
lights of midnight towards home, where a second page of 371 Chorale Cadences is composed.
