as fingers trace around the rim of a colorless sky
A guy I was drawing got off the train when I wasn't expecting him to and in response, I asked "who gets on and off at South Station? Oh, right, the answer is everyone."
Sophia Griswold was playing trombone and singing (I’m not sure what the first song was, something about LA, but the second one was Valerie by Adele) and wearing neon fuchsia M.C. Hammer pants.
For dinner, I had an Italian sub from Pauli's.
To the tall chair brigade: I overheard that one of you is named Jen. Since your name is Jen and not Lady Hrrub or Overseer Domaroth, you don't need all that leg room.
Ye Who Seek The Truth - I forget who arranged this but it's an arrangement of a hymn.
Richard Meyer - Ghosts of Brandenburg
It runs the gamut from I to VI but with twists and turns. This has nothing to do with Ghosts of Versailles.
George Gershwin - Girl Crazy Overture - I swear this was used on something I've seen. Or maybe I've just heard it before.
Jessie Montgomery - Freedom Songs
Four arrangements of spirituals. In the first two, the cymbals on the drum kit drowned out the rest of the orchestra.
Randall Thompson - Symphony No. 2
Thompson had a reputation for conservative choral music, but this symphony is anything but.
George Gershwin - Summertime - It didn't rain much but it stayed foggy. I was sweating like Roger Ebert on the way here but along the river, it was cool and clammy.
It was the coldest day since June. Way to jinx it.
John Williams Olympic Fanfare and Theme - Because the Olympics is happening.
Williams - The Cowboys Overture - One of John Wayne's last films. It reminds me of Copland.
Williams - Music from Jaws
Du-do. Du-do. Dundundundundundun
We also got a very jaunty hornpipe for At Sea and a fugue for when the guy’s in the cage and it doesn’t go well for him.
Williams “Viktor’s Tale” from The Terminal
He was tasked to write an ambiguously Eastern European theme for an ambiguously Eastern European (and currently stateless) character based on the story of an Iranian who lived in an airport terminal for 18 years.
The main melody is played on clarinet and it sounds a lot like klezmer. Obviously John Williams or whoever told him to write the music doesn’t consider the Balkans to be Eastern Europe.
Williams “Flying Theme” from E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
I haven't forgotten my promise.
The encore was a medley from Star Wars. Mostly from A New Hope, I'll assume because I didn't hear the Imperial March. Makes sense because there were people dressed as Star Wars characters.
Also, today is Drake's birthday. He's 11.
burning question: What kind of dumb birthday gift is a bath anyway? Grr, woof woof, grrr.
