Since this piece contains some
Valentine's images
and some music (hopefully) in the spirit
of the holiday,
I thought I would send it out as a
Valentine's Day.
If you would like to listen to it and fast
forward to the
Valentine atmosphere it is at 18:00 and
21:44 in the clip.
Mary Fineman offers us
Suite from the Faraway
Pavilion
“Suite
From the Faraway Pavilion”
is based on a song written
about the metaphysical
landscape where the Muse
resides, where "A Nymph named
Chaos claims you, intoxicates
you with her way, She knows
your heart's desire, and now
you'll never be the same." The
Suite is performed by a
Pierrot Ensemble. Names and
program notes may be found on
YouTube.

times, beyond imagining.
I can take only take so
much coronacrap (cvc).
How ’bout
you? As
pianists, composers and
arrangers, we regard
masters of the crafts
with deep respect
and admiration. Such are
two pianists/arrangers
whose singular works I would
like to hold up for your
appreciation, enjoyment
and even inspiration
for the possible, the
whimsical. The anti-cvc. I thought
that I had heard “Three
Blind Mice.” Then I
discovered pianist/composer/orchestrator
Stanley Black in
partnership with the London
Festival Orchestra.
Figuring that jazz, the
uniquely American
musical form, is really
the culmination of the
art/craft of
composing/performing, I
went to the source and
came up with Art Blakey
and his Jazz Messengers.
Whimsical, fanciful, if
a picture is worth a
thousand words, this is
worth, rough estimate,

Things
are quiet for now,
but look to this space for
future events.
Our concerts have
been on hiatus
for too long,
due to the Bay
Area Counties
Directive to
limit spread
of the
coronavirus
and the
disease,
COVID-19.
However, they
will resume.
We'll let you
know when the
next one is
scheduled.
Meanwhile,
please be
careful, stay
safe and
healthy.
Composingly,
Daniel and the

Perhaps
in the jungle,
the quiet
jungle, the
lion sleeps
tonight, but
not our
composers!
