In the Northern Metropolis
I have a theory about C major. there's something ethereal about it, and it was confirmed yesterday, when I went to hear Northern Metropolis University Orchestra and Choir play Bruckner's TE DEUM. I don't have much of an ear (at all), but i knew that piece had to be in C major just listening to it...ok. not much of a theory yet, but i'm working on it:) After Bruckner, they played Mahler 1 (TITAN). can i just saw WOW? I know the symphony backwards and forwards (ok, maybe just forwards) but had never heard it live -- I love it when the 7 horns STAND in the last movement! The third movement -- the folkloric dance/country melody movement -- is amazing; parts of it sound like klezmer music! Watching the symphony felt like reading a mystery novel. i was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
I love the Northern Metropolis. I hadn't realized it's such a great city to bike in! Now that the Rocket has hiked up prices, i just cruise around on my bike...
"Radiant City" -- the one doc I missed in Hamleto a couple weeks back -- just opened here yesterday, so i'm going to see it as soon as I finish the mountain of grading on my desk. Ahhhhh, rewards.
Made it out to see SHOOTER. Marky Mark is wondrous. Dreamy, actually. He's a future Jack Nicholson, I tell you. Mark my words!
