Rehearsing and A-Chronicling

[Karl Henning]

I've added bassoon to Amorphous & Forward-Looking, mostly doubling either at pitch or at the octave, for coloration. This is Op. 196c. Opp. 196a & b being re-scorings with recorders.

Rehearsing and A-Chronicling

I tried one of your links (see above).  There was nothing (as far as I could see) to listen to...and, by the way I hate MIDI--am trying hard to be tolerant--[and I tried sharing one of your links with a friend who is very open to various types of music].  Just being open with you.     He hates MIDI too.

Apologies for the mechanical inadequacies inherent to MIDI. I do appreciate both that you and your friend tried, and your candor. Quoi dire? I wish I had recordings of actual people playing a good deal of my catalogue. I work on that very much of my time, actually. The concert this Friday (7PM Chowder Time) will livestream via Zoom, if you and your friend wish. Will share the link as soon as I've got it. Perhaps @Iota and @Elgarian Redux will, erm, "Zoom in," too.

Last night was our first rehearsal in the space, which flatters the group very well indeed.

I stopped by the Library to scan A. The Facilities Use Agreement with Redeemer and B. Two Henning Yuletide scores freshly rousted out by Greta (Opp. 53 & 60, so true antiques) We want to present Joseph & Mary, Op. 53 to Paul for his consideration for this Christmas a-coming. Watch This Space. 

Oh, and I saw both Erin and Julia here at the Library, who were so very helpful with the livestream. Whereof I should soon have the downloaded video. Watch This Space Some More.

Moose Update

[Karl Henning]

Yesterday morning I stopped in at the Library. The staff are still mildly abuzz over the success of our concert. I asked when they think it practical to schedule the next concert. We'll think April. Overall, excellent rehearsal last night. A couple of dodgy places where this or that player got a bit lost. (All the dense imitation demands alert concentration.) With luck, nobody will get lost tonight. Again, it's a very ambitious program, and putting it together at all is mildly miraculous.

Tonight!

Tonight!

In 80 minutes. 

[Karl Henning]

A good-sized audience and some six or eight dialed into the Zoom. Overall a very good concert. Some things we played the best we have yet. I'm enormously pleased and proud. And I'm exhausted. Will get a ride home soon.

Dark Side of the Dance Floor II

[Karl Henning]

Part of me wants to be productive and keep working on rebuilding the Sibelius file of Moose on the Loose, but after yesterday's marathon, most of me just wants to relax. The majority will rule.

[Elgarian Redux]

Perhaps @Iota and @Elgarian Redux will, erm, "Zoom in," too.

You will not credit this, Karl, but I've never done the Zoom thing, and have no idea how to. Will there be a youtube version, or anything like that, for non-Zoomers like me?

I credit it readily, and yes there will!

[Elgarian Redux]

I credit it readily, and yes there will!

Then count me in, dear fellow! Count me in!

[Karl Henning]

I haven't given up on trying to "break in" to the Binghamton Phil. I think my New Year's Day project will be a chamber orchestra version of the Rahsaan Roland Kirk Fantasia. And you know, if they don't like it, Chas Peltz may.
Greta won't be available for the April King's Chapel date, so I'll see if Anne, my new hornist friend, might be available and willing.

[Karl Henning]

Upon the joint suggestion of Carol and Peter, I've made a start on a new flute duet. I'm one minute in.

I'm actually hunting for another post, but couldn't resist basking in how much Carol & Peter like playing this piece.
