Henning's Headquarters

[André]

Way to go, Karl ! 

[Karl Henning]

Not exactly momentous, but I did some composing today, a short bagatelle for toy piano called Penny Candy.  I went"old school, " ...with a mechanical pencil ...and a pad of manuscript paper provided by my dear friend Peter Bloom.
It's for a call posted by my old friend David Bohn for toy piano pieces of 100 notes or fewer, thus it was a good occasion to break the compositional ice.

Congratulations!
Now, if you could ditch the pencil and replace it with a feather, you can say you now compose exactly how Bach used to!

[Karl Henning]

Today, I'll start working on paper, on a piece I've been thinking about the past few days a tro for two flutes and horn for the King's Chapel concert in May, thinking of calling the piece Swiss Skis.

Well, it's precisely in such moments that "old school" proves its real worth. Keep such bagatelles coming up. Karl!

Great to see your progress is going well, Karl.

Will Whiz Keys be involved?   Many Scotsmen would like to know!   

[Karl Henning]

I started writing the trio today, or, rather, started work on paper, the ideas were stirring in my inner ear for the past couple of days

[Karl Henning]

I enjoyed attending tonight's Triad rehearsal I sat apart in a pew, following along, and often directly singing along, I do need to get back into practice, but I am starting to wonder if I may be able to sing in the May concerts. Our tanks are much augmented, the group is now 20 strong, and sounds better than ever, it was richly gratifying to hear them read my Alleluia in A-flat. But it is all a really strong program

[Karl Henning]

Good OT this morning, I'm afraid this is repetitive, but we've made some slight progress both with cooperation in the fingers, and with extension of the elbow. But of course, this is good news, both that there is steady progress, and that it is perceptible.

[Ghost of Baron Scarpia]

Great to hear!

[NikF4]

Good work. Keep going.

[Karl Henning]

Thanks, friends!

[Jaakko Keskinen]

Not repetitive at all, this is great!

[prémont]

Great to hear!

Yes, and it is also great, that we have got our good old Karl back into the forum.

[Karl Henning]

Thank you!

My first composition since the event:


Penny Candy combines a narrow simplicity of pitch material with a simple-but-unfettered rhythmic narrative, in the hope that the result is perhaps naive but engaging.

Cheers, Karl! Great to hear such encouraging news about your recuperation and rehabilitation. Let the Henningmusick commence!

Bravo, sir, bravo!

Great to see Henningsmusick back in swing again!
