Happy Valentines to all! --
the visual a detail from
Raphael (1483-1520) - Sistine Madonna (1514)
which should also work for a separate publication of
Isaiah, Op. 175 (2009)
VIa. Duo Seraphim
as opposed to the visual initially contemplated for the "VD" Card...
Bronzino (1503-1572 - depicted above by
Alessandro Allori, 1535-1607) -
Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time (1545).
Continue on the Isaiah editing with

Out
with Harriet
on
a
rather
practical
outing,
down
to
Suisun
City
and
the
Social
Security
Office,
trying to get satisfaction re getting return email or phone call,
but still no luck
(no admitance w/o appointment,
and,
when calling,
no appointments can be made at this time...
Catch in the Year 22!).
Nevertheless, nice trip,
with
a
continued
scenic
return
on
12,
Chadbourne,
and
I-
80 --
via
errands
that
include
the
traditional
candy
and
flowers... a truly delightful afternoon, on this the 25th day of spring, high cascading down 14 to 65 -- the birthday of
Babur (1483-1530),
Nina Hamnett (1890-1956 --
here in a 1917 portrait by Roger Frye, 1866-1934),
Carl Bernstein (b. 1944),
Kitten Natividad (b. 1948,
who first came to attention after moving to Southern California), and
Renee Fleming (b. 1959).
Then back to work, with the morning and evening audio-visuals including
Johan Svendsen (1840-1911) - Symphony No. 3 in C Major, Op. 52 (1907)
Peter Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) - Orchestral Suite No. 2 in C Major, Op. 53 (1883)
Sergi Taneyev (1856-1915) - Symphony No. 4 in C Minor, Op. 12 (1901 -- hmm, definitely have a C tonality going on here today...),
Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909) - Iberia, Book II (1906): IV. Rondena
Frederick Delius (1862-1934) - Appalachia (1902),
Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991) - Star Trek (1966) - Season 1, Episode 8 - Charlie X, featuring music of Fred Steiner, 1923-2011),
Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) - Gloriana, Op. 53 (1953): Courtly Dances, and quite a lot more of the George Crumb (1929-2022) festival, to wit:
Processional (1983),
A Haunted Landscape (1984),
The Sleeper (1984),
An Idyll for the Misbegotten (1986),
Federico's Little Songs for Children (1986),
Zeitgeist (1988),
Easter Dawning (1991),
Quest (1994), and
Mundus Canis (1998) --
with only smatterings of the ongoing criminalities continuing to be exposed by the heroic January 6 Commission...
