April 16 - With Ayes Fixedly A Head


Second


day


of


Harriet's


convention,


and


it is


even moretime-consuming,


including a supply run,



but


enough


space in the schedule


to allow for an


evening


blitz to


Auburn


Ravine,


over the Foresthill Bridge (highest deck height in California, fourth in U.S.),


down


the


Old


Road


for


views


of


the


Middle and


North Fork American Rivers,


to Confluence (sadly, there are emergency personnel and vehicles scattered about,


searching for Vang Aaron, who jumped in the cold, fast-moving river this morning, without benefit of flotation device, and whose body is found the next day),


then upslope,


past the Non-Hands Bridge,


on 49


townwise,


returning


to


eventually


continue work on the


piano-vocal score and


visual libretto of  


Alma Maria Schindler Mahler Gropius Werfel, Op. 232: LVI. 1934 - Elias Canetti / Maid (Manon's Polio), on this continued amazing-glorious 41st day of summer, high triple-tying for second warmest of year: 84 (indeed, all of the 80-something days have been thus)...


Ah, yes, also compose Variations on The Romanesca, Op. 251 (2016): XLVI. George Crumb (b. 1929) - Black Angels (1970) .
