Atlanta Update

My Island Home & Mirage remain fixed for the 11 Nov concert.

just what everyone was expecting has been bumped to an as-yet-indefinite concert a day or two later.  May give the Irreplaceable Doodles a fresh airing, and this could be the best performance yet.

Saved in my calendar.

And again let's hope somebody has a good recorder running during this!  ;)

Although at my remove, my input is perforce limited, I am hoping that the second concert will be Wednesday (and that the ASO will tune up and play A Sea Symphony on Thursday).  I shall dust off the Irreplaceable Doodles for this!

This is the "proper" arrangement of I Want Jesus to Walk With Me.  It's both what I want artistically, and an arrangement which I can with integrity (I think) consider my own work.


But I believe, too, that since it is a piece we are to sing this Sunday . . . I have to keep this under wraps, and dial it back down to a bare arrangement of the page as it appears in the hymnal, to keep things as easy as possible for the choir.

Apart from needing (what I have always intended) a keyboard reduction for my proper Op.126 № 2, I see now that I failed to strike the empty Alto line from the first system of The Minimalist Adaptation.  I want to do that before printing out for tomorrow's rehearsal, of course.

Or explain to the altos that they have a truly minimalist opening passage.

While on the bus plying its none-too-rapid journey up I-93, I've recalled that I wished to seek out the cellist who was part of the piano trio who were artists-in-residence at UVa while I pursued my Master's there. Behold! what a wonderful thing is a smart phone, for in the time it has taken the bus to travel from the Old State House to our town of residence, I have found the professional email address of the cellist, and sent off email.  In fact, I also found the prof. email a. of the pianist from that trio of long ago.

And here I've posted of't.

Sure, again: no knowing if aught will actually come of it, but you've got to play to win ....

For those who can read Karl's most recent score above:

I have read through it and find it most excellent: it has so many, many nice touches!  e.g. bar 14 and the chromatic rise in the bass, the A-G-C# in bars 10, 18, 22, and then that added B in bar 26 and the A in 34 as variations!  The humming in bars 39 ff. is another excellent idea (I assume the original hymn does not have that!  ;)   )  The ritardando in bars 50 ff. is perfect!

We want a Karl Henning compilation CD!

It is a nice touch and has a tradition behind it.  Best Wishes on the performance!

Thanks!  We're doing the "no-frills" version this Sunday;  not sure when Heinrich may put on "the Full Walk."

Fairly busy morning, actually . . . after church, we're going to rehearse Lord of the Dance with the handbells, so I am about to head over to church a little early, to load carts with the gear to set up in the sanctuary.  We are singing the SIMPLE version of I Want Jesus to Walk With Me at today's service, and I may record it, just to see how the choir are doing.


Cellist Matt Wexler, whom I knew back in Charlottesville, has responded, will let me send a couple of cello-&-piano pieces, "No promises."  I accept those terms   8)
