Many rendezvous's of the day, including, at Bogle Family Vineyards, with Jadi Galloway, who was Mary in
Mark Alburger (b. 1957)
The Nativity According to St. Matthew, Op. 92 (1998)
and
The Mother in
Gian Carlo Menotti (1911-2007)
Amahl and the Night Visitors (1951)
both given as part of
Davis Community Church presents
A Christmas Concert!

4th and C Streets
Davis, CA
And,
speaking
of
which,
DCC
the
main
event
of
this morning (featuring solo percussion), with Reading including Genesis 32 (Jacob Wrestling with the Angel) --
corresponding to
Israel in Trouble, Op. 54 (1997)
VIII. On His Way (Jacob Wrestles) --
other
words to
ponder.
Another excellent sermon by Interrim Paster Derek Austin,
Musical Meditation from the
Bell Choir,
Prayers of
the People,
Blessing and Sending Forth.
This
is
followed
by
a
Congregational Meeting, with praise for the Music Program,
and
full disclosure,
and
prayerful end...
Nice chats with the Pastor and
our benefactor Tony Tanke,
before
we
head
out
for
the
South
Sacramento
River
Valley
adventure...
a labyrinthine
route to
Bogle --
arriving
early
enough
to share
some sparking wine,
greeting
Jadi,
who
with
the
staff
treats
us
like
royalty,
in
the
splendiforous
and
congenial
space,
separated
only by
a levee from Elk Slough.
This
very
personalized place,
fosters
our
animated discussion,
life, the universe, and music --
past, present, and future --
under clearing skies --
delightful
throughout!
Don't forget the wine to go,
and off
hazardly again,
Yolo
E9 North,
Clarksburg,
in the
dusky
aquamarine,
tenuous
Freeport
Bridge,
a blaze of light
back in Sacramento,
50 West
turning into
I-80
over the Causeway
in
view
of the
Coast Range,
diversionary
activity,
on
the
2nd-or-3rd day of Winter
(depending on the source),
high plummeting down 18 to 45 (Davis, 46; Sacramento, 48)
-- the coldest day of the year
thus far!
