01:49 am - walpurgthesis
considering ( this )
was my initial conception of "WALPURGISNACHT" (written down in 2006 as ideas for a theatre production collaboration with David Alday)
and ( this )
was how i conceived of the thesis last year,
and considering that it's not coming out anything like either conceptions, (( this )is how it's going to be)
I was wondering whether i should change the title of my senior project. The St. James theme's become much more important to the composition than i'd anticipated (these things take on a life of their own) and it doesn't really have anything to do with Walpurgis night. As a matter of fact, the only constants in the work are a leitmotif of a tritone, and the occasional blue note in a pentatonic scale (both taken from the st. james theme).
What about: "Nocturne in black and blue?" subtitled "the entirety of evening" with the movements of "twilight, dusk, st. james and dawn"
the working title has been "walpurgisnacht" sub-titled "dance into may" and "the curtain falls, the summon, the answer, the curtain rises"
whatcha think?
If i changed it to "Nocturne in black and blue" or ('nocturne en noire et bleu" if i'm feeling like an asshole), I'd have ( this ) in the program notes...
EDIT: Or i could just call it "Black-land."
