Yes, nicely done!  I suppose the program had information about the composers: after the first work by the conductor, there were no spoken introductions.

I have no information there, yet. In a text exchange after the concert, Glenn wrote that he would send the program today.  Don't know yet if that means the one-pager, the recording, or both.

Enjoyed that, excellent piece and a great performance, bravo!

(Perhaps it's worth mentioning here, as one of the youtube commentators does (Cato?), that your piece starts at 29.00. Was helpful for me anyway.)

No audio document of the piece. I've asked if they could send me the video from the YT stream.

"Nice performances: the work by Karl Henning c. 29:00 is especially not to be missed!"
One great feature is that this comment indexes the piece.

Great work, Karl! Off the top of my head I can't think of any other work with this instrumentation. The composite sound is unique and blends really well.

At the High School today. I'm finding that even if my work calendar looks empty, all I need do is wait. Also, that I can probably avoid my least favorite Middle School.

Well, on one hand I am exulting in all the luxurious Family Time. On t'other, Maria has been receiving a course of image-guided radiation treatment for skin cancer. Ideally, she ought to have relaxed as much as possible, but she has had to take work-related calls all this while, and they've been very stressful for her. Her last treatment will be next week (though she comes back to Massachusetts for a follow-up in February.) At the start, it all seemed very promising. At present, while there has certainly been progress, it has not been so much as hoped. Anyway, Maria has agreed to take some weeks to decompress properly, and the ladies will stay through to Christmas. So, to recapitulate, while I wish the circumstances were much better, I am basking in all the Family Time.
