Henning's Headquarters

There is a chance (a good chance, I think, but I'll still call it – a chance) that my modestly jazzy arrangement of I Want Jesus to Walk With Me will at last see a performance:  by the Worcester, MA.-based group Diamonds From the Dust on their 3 June concert.

The pond this morning made me think, for some reason, of Langgaard.

(Yesterday the fog on the pond looked so enchanted, I chided myself for my not feeling I could stop and take a snap. Made up for it today.)

And the start on the fourth:

The 3^rd movement, reflecting a small modification as suggested by our Cato.

Not pictured:  I got to smash the tam-tam as part of the cumulative big noise at the end of The Great Gate.  Living the dream!

As I review these, this morning, I have a fresh idea for the fourth.  As it is, the piano part in mm.58-61 of the 4^th movement has every appearance (and feeling) of setting up the contrasting March.  Suddenly, I realize what a sharp jest it will be to have the clarinet disregard that "invitation," and instead go on a bit yet with the Vivo material, delaying the switch to the March for another, oh, I dunno, 20 bars.

A fun movement!  And it flows very logically from the third movement: it "tickles the tympana" in my opinion! 0:)

Thanks!  And then we settle into a cheerful March, because (you know) I'm "tired of being serious."

Dr. Henning,

I found your YouTUbe post from Oct of 2014 with your choir singing "Lord of the Dance" arr. By John Ferguson.  I see that you are the one who arranged the handbell part.  I am rehearsing that anthem with my choir now, and as it happens, the Handbell Choir is already scheduled to play that Sunday, and I was hoping that I could purchase a copy of the handbell part for my choir.  You can reach me at the above email address or the phone number below.  Thanks for your attention to this request.  And greetings from sunny south Florida!

And for your bemusement and consideration, the twain versions:

It seems it was never to be, a 9^th Ear concert on which this piece might be played.  But perhaps it is only Bliss deferred, after all?

I have struck up a friendship with the harpist who played in the Musorgsky, and I thus had the idea of arranging the piece simply for clarinet and harp.  Will report . . . .

I have both adapted version 1 of Things Like Bliss for clarinet & harp;  and I have adapted the sand dance (one of the pieces submitted to a call from Fifteen Minutes of Fame, but which went nowhere) likewise for cl/hp.  The harpist is (as I anticipated) quite busy at present, but, she will be in touch.

Well, the duoKYaria call seems up in the air yet. So while it remains the case that my sand dance has as yet gone nowhere, it may, still.

The HTUMC Handbell Choir rehearsed my arrangement of America the Beautiful for the first time this morning;  we'll play it as part of the service 21 May.
