Henning's Headquarters

[Karl Henning]

Thinking ahead for the Henning Ensemble, I've started to adapt both Jazz for Nostalgic Squirrels and Down Along the Canal to Minerva Road for C flute, alto flute, tenor saxophone and double-bass.

[Karl Henning]

My quirky bagatelle for flute unaccompanied, Airy Distillates, will be on the program.

[Karl Henning]

Just found a call for which Counting Sheep (or the dreamy abacus of Don Quijote) suits. Will this be the long-awaited occasion for an actual performance of the Opus 58? I guess we find out 15 December.

It has been enormously gratifying to revisit this piece. It was one of the first pieces I wrote after 9/11, and I zigged caprice when so many others were zagging elegy.

I've learnt that Dan plays bass clarinet, and this is better still than tenor saxophone.

My publisher tells me we've sold Out in the Sun to a wind ensemble director in Wisconsin.

[Karl Henning]

There's a call for pieces for voice and solo strings which had me puzzling. I kind of want to send something in, but nothing readily available seemed to answer. It has now occurred to me to adapt one of the Op. 119 voice-&-solo wind Schulte Songs by swapping a viola for the alto flute. Will do that this afternoon.

[Karl Henning]

This morning I was pleasantly occupied with compiling this brief list of works.

Thinking Ahead

[Karl Henning]

Well, so an old friend now has an administrative position with a regional orchestra. Last time I saw him in Boston, I asked about getting the Third Symphony in front of the orchestra's M.D.'s eyes. It was my friend's feedback that the score needed some typographical improvement. I hied me unto FedEx Kinko's to arrange printing and binding of the score. I didn't feel that a rush fee was justified, so I go to pick the goods up tomorrow at noon, and then it will be off to the Post Office.

In bocca al lupo, Karl! And good evening to you...

Thanks! No knowing, of course, but ....

I had two hard copies made, sent one, held onto this one.

That should work quite well!

Under the spell of Bernard Herrmann's score for On Dangerous Ground, I wonder whether a Viola d'Amore would qualify?        

On a similar bit of news:

Karl suggested to me some days ago that I should send in my cantata Exaudi me to a group looking for new works (Cantori New York).

After some hesitation ( I do not spend $10.00 on a gamble gladly  😇 ), I sent in the work, whose opening bars - if they do not appall the judges - might intrigue them to continue perusing or listening to the MIDI version of the score.

Various American and European choirs have either not responded at all to inquiries or politely regretted that the score was too difficult.

It left Syracuse at 8:17AM

Yay!  Well done Karl.  Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
