And Here Comes the Opus 207

 Believe that there is no scorn in the chuckle I got from hearing in a commentary upon an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, “It’s all based on real theory.”
— Porridger’s Almanack (Breakfast of Ganglions)

There’s no reason to shoot at me! I’m a dentist!
— Alan Arkin in The In-Laws

My friend Carson Cooman invited me to contribute to his current Pavane and Galliard project, paired pieces for organ (manuals only.) For the Pavane, I salvaged/expanded a keyboard piece memorializing Arni Cheatham, beloved and respected saxophonist of the Aardvark Jazz Orchestra. In place of a Galliard, I felt like composing a Giguette in support of my excellent friend the Rev. Marj Stark, presently recovering from surgery. That is likely a wrap on the Opus 207.
