Smiling at the musical oxymoron of including Monk’s “Crépuscule with Nellie” in a “Morning Jazz” playlist.

Happy birthday, Arnold Schoenberg!
Fourteen years ago, I performed the Irreplaceable Doodles in the New England Conservatory’s Williams Hall
And, eleven years ago today:
This morning, I made a good start on The Mysterious Fruit, mezzo-soprano & marimba, Op.124, for Carola Emrich-Fisher & Sylvie Zakarian, text by Leo Schulte.
But, enough nostalgia! Yesterday I mixed to my satisfaction the fixed media component of Aaron’s Uneasy Sleep. I think it likely that once I finish reconstructing the Op. 53 score, I shall apply myself to the guitar part. I was looking forward keenly to hearing Aaron’s performance in Newport on 12 October, but a necessary Henning Ensemble rehearsal has become pinned to thar date. No Ocean State for me, that day.
