March 26 - I Once Was Lost


Morning, out again, back to Left Bank, and the laptop has been found by the heroic cleanup crew.

Whew...


Dictation is first four bars of Duke Ellington's Concerto for Cootie, main theme









F: Fa Re Ri Mi Sol Re Ri Mi, with repeat in rhythmic variant

Harmony, simplified from original, in call-and-response with melody,

I IV vi I64 vi7 V7 V7 I

Home, exhausted, but at least orchestrate another page of Variations on Americana and do the corrections for the April 2008 issue of 21st-Century Music (21st-centurymusic.com and 21st-centurymusic.blogspot.com)
