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
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) .
