MARK ALBURGER, 2022: April 21

Holy Happy Hour (Batman!) at

Davis Community Presbyterian Church,

followed

Chancel

and

Chamber Choir rehearsals, including first reading of

Aerial Requiem, Op. 27 (1985)
X. Agnus Dei

which goes and is received well...

Before this,

errands

and

getting

there --

on the

58th day of spring,

high down 5

68 --

previous events of the day including

the traditional accounting of the founding of Rome (753 BC) by Romulus (c. 783-716 BC),

the printing in 1934 of a photo proportedly to be that of the Loch Ness Monsterr (eventually proved a hoax in 1994), and the

inauguation of Brasilia (1960) as Brazil's new capital.

Will this day also be remembered for lockdowns at the U.S. Capitol and

U.C. Berkeley? How about the birthdays of

John Muir (1838-1914, seen here in 1906 at Glacier Point with Theodore Roosevelt, 1858-1919),

Max Weber (1864-1920),

Ephraim Zimbalist (1889-1985),

Randall Thompson (1899-1984), and

Elizabeth II (b. 1926).

What can we do? Well, begin updating the Works site re

Magnificat, Op. 86 (2000),

edit pages 5-6 of

Oboe Concerto ("Wanderer"), Op. 118 2004),

and the seemingly inevitable addition to

Book of Dreams, 2022, Op. 376 (2022)
