Seven Flute Duets in Seven Days: Day 4

 Paranormal food prep: The X-Fillets

Porridger’s Almanack (Breakfast of Ganglions)

You have to follow a snake around before you know it. DeKay’s Snake always struck me as a quiet and well-behaved sort until I learned some of its habits. It mates at the age of eighteen months. You’d expect that of the Striped Swamp Snake, but hardly of DeKay’s. And I suppose there’s no use trying to hush up John’s Sea Snake, which mates when only six months old. At that age both the male and female John’s Sea Snake are sexually mature, and I don’t mean maybe.

Chuffing along with the Geistliche Gebrauchsmusik Flute duets. Finished № 4, You Will Not Fear the Terror of the Night, running about two minutes. Given that the seven duets in seven days angle is entirely arbitrary, how do I feel about it at the half-way point? While I should not be surprised if the summer heat is a factor, I’m certainly napping to let the brain re-charge for the compositional effort. It’s a worthwhile exercise, and I am pleased with the musical result. Tomorrow I’ll remain indoors and see how that affects the process.
