beneath the setting sun

yamamanamaThe concert title (taken from the preface to Alice in Wonderland so I guess we're opening the book and not closing it) feels elegiac and inapropro for the first concert of a season. But on the other hand, it’s October, the time where nights get longer and sunsets are golden, leaves turn from green to fire-orange, ruby-red, porphyry, jasper, rust, chrysoprase, carnelian, chalcedony, a time of beautiful colors and scents and a reminder that soon the world will be brown and dormant and reek of dead ocean.
William Grant Still, Summerland for flute & piano
Summerland is a Wiccan name for the afterworld. It’s part of a Three Visions set about death, with Dark Horseman as judgement, Summerland as paradise, and Radiant Pinnacle as rebirth.
John Adams, Road Movies for violin & piano
The BSO is doing some stuff with Adams’ works as well. So, uh, I dunno. Maybe they’ll do The Death of Klinghoffer now that Israel’s pissed away all their goodwill, all so Donald Trump can get the Nobel Peace Prize or some such rubbish. Piece of shit is what he is. Anyway, Adams himself likens Relaxed Groove to a trip down familiar roads in a rondo form, Meditative to a solitary figure in a desert landscape, and 40% Swing (because midi sequencers let you adjust how much swing you get to a meticulous and almost absurd degree) to a perpetual motion endurance race.
I was wondering if they’ve done Hallelujah Junction and maybe not because it requires two pianos.
Gabriel Fauré, Sonata No. 2 in g minor for cello & piano, Op. 117
Composed at the end of his life. He was commissioned to write a funeral march for the 100th anniversary of Napoleon’s death and he ended up using the theme in the Andante here.
Eleanor Alberga, No-Man’s-Land Lullaby for violin & piano
I can hear the lullaby on the violin but not the No-Man’s Land.
Johannes Brahms, Quintet in b minor for clarinet & strings, Op. 115
It’s like a homage to Mozart.
There were these artworks there. And I think it's time for me to address this. I've been hearing rumors about the death of Imgur again and I'm going to treat things as I've been doing, espcially since the last set of rumors/ That is to say, I'm posting on imgur still and I'm backing up the entries on the Wayback Machine and archive is. If you're coming here from the UK where imgur is blocked (while there are only three types of fascism: Italian/revolutionary, German/reactionary, and Japanese/psychopathy, there are many forms of conservatism), I don't know what to tell you. Try the Internet Archive.

A passenger on the train had a sigil and a gingko leaf and a flower tattooed on her hand and the passenger across from her had blue hair and a Pikachu hat.
burning question: how is Bill Maher classified as a comedian anyway?
