Henning's Headquarters

[Karl Henning]

At therapy yesterday, I assembled the clarinet for the first time since Nov 2018

Compositionally, I have mostly been focused on music for Lent for the church choir.

Very nice, Karl. Good to see things are improving for you.

That must have been something of an emotional moment Karl.

[Karl Henning]

It was physical effort, but felt great; even with the as-yet-limited sensation in my left palm, it felt wonderful to hold the instrument in my hands again.

[Sergeant Rock]

The boys and I are quite happy for you, Karl




Sarge

[prémont]

It was physical effort, but felt great; even with the as-yet-limited sensation in my left palm, it felt wonderful to hold the instrument in my hands again.

It certainly was great. I fully share Sarge's happiness for you.

[Karl Henning]

Cheers, gents!

Starting to think of our 14 April program at King's Chapel.  I've begun a quartet, Moose on the Loose.

Starting to think of our 14 April program at King's Chapel.  I've begun a quartet, Moose on the Loose.

I've unwittingly misled our Cato into supposing this to be a string quartet, but Moose on the Loose is for picc, alto flute, horn & violin.

Also starting to think of writing a new set of three organ pieces for our Barbara.

Found a haunting tune in The  Pilgrim Hymnal (sixth printing, Dec 1960) decided I'd like my choir to sing it.

I've decided there's no reason not to have the picc double on C flute

Shoes of Sugar has an excellent interplay among the instruments.  And the slowly rocking opening of Pam's Labyrinth makes me wonder: Who is Pam, and why does she have a labyrinth?      And will the counterpoint become...well, you know!

I had nearly forgot: Shoes of Sugar was my initial title for Moose.  A pox (but not a severe one) upon me for failing to adjust the title on the score!

Aha!  That explains it!  I thought that the individual movements had their own titles. 

No pox necessary!      

[Karl Henning]

Then, I shall gladly proceed, pox-less!

Interesting scoring.

[Karl Henning]

The two quartets so far; We'll read these Monday.

[Karl Henning]

Interesting scoring.

Kind of Webernian, isn't it?

Kind of Webernian, isn't it?

Whatever it is the sound world of the piece should be intriguing.
