MARK ALBURGER, 2022: February 13

Update the Works site as to

Academic Endeavors, Op. 19 (1979),

edit

Isaiah, Op. 175 (2009)
VII. Ecce Virgo Concipiet (Behold a Virgin Shall Conceive)

(thought about referencing Handel when writing this,

but beguiling Byrd got the better of me...)

and seemingly the inevitable more text for

Book of Dreams, 2022, Op. 376 (2022)
     February 12-13
          4am Luggage on Conveyor Belt Converts to Something Else....
          6am House Tumbles Over the Longitudinal Falls (Victoria's Secret Cataract?)
               with Vehicles and Heavy Trees...
          10am Blonde Checkout Clerk, Getting Her Assistant to Say,
               "The Cheese Is Questionable, We Need Someone Live"...

Before all this is accomplished, Davis Community Presbyterian Church Zoom service with

Eunbee Ham delivering a marvelous sermon referencing

Stebbins

Cold Canyon

(just barely in extreme northwestern Solano, but naturally often visited by Yolo County residents, as just about a straight shot west on 128 from Winters and the closest access for such folks to the Coast Ranges),

Rosa Parks (1913-2005),

Maya Angelou (1928-2014), and

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) -- featuring

tChicago Children's Choir (founded 1950) and

the John Bell (b. 1949) nicely pentatonic Will You Come and Follow Me (1987).

Eventually, Harriet and

I are

out for the

17th Vacaville Streets walk,

presently from West Isle Royale Cactus Parking to

Yellowstone,

followed

southwest

East Lassen.

Next,

cross

town

al fresco dining

Sonoma Springs

Brewing Company,

followed by

errands about town,

on the 10th day of summer,

high up 2 to 79 --

also the 131st birthday of Grant Wood (1897-1942 -- like Gustav Mahler, Alban Berg, and Kurt Weill, dying at the ripe old age of 50, in this case one day beforee celebrating his 51st...).

To double-check the lifespans above, re-happen across classical.net's List of Composers Sorted by Age at Death, which could stand an augmentation to include at least

61 Anton Webern
73 Harry Partch
79 John Cage
79 Carlheinz Stockhausen
81 Witold Lutoslawski
81 Edgar Varese
83 Robert Ashley
83 Gyorgy Ligeti
86 Hans Werner Henze
86 Krzysztof Penderecki
89 Alan Hovhaness
90 Pierre Boulez
92 George Crumb
94 Henry Brant
97 Joaquin Rodrigo
101 Irving Berlin
103 Elliott Carter
105 Madeleine Mihaud

(hmm, is this the beginning of another piece?...)
