I've made some more progress yet . . . but still tinkering.

Soldier on with the tinkering and the tailoring of the score: from the opening page I spy another winner!   0:)

Thanks! I saw this coming, but here is an iron hot in the fire, but I need to wrap up Thoreau first . . . .

Thanks! I saw this coming, but here is an iron hot in the fire, but I need to wrap up Thoreau first . . . .

More (and good) progress on Thoreau last night . . . at last, it were fair to say.

Before yesterday morning's service, the choir rehearsed my Kyrie a bit (we're singing the première next Sunday morning).  I should be embarrassed to report the kind words spoken about the piece, for fear I should be thought to exaggerate and fabricate.

Nonsense.  If anything, we'd suspect you were understating....

[Karl Henning]

Further progress on Thoreau last night . . . after all, I am going to play the piece a week from to-day . . . .

Karl might scoff at my mentioning of this but I hear a Minimalism influence in Out in the Sun. Not so much in how the musical material is played but, rather, how the general mood of the work seems to be a long, emotionally-static canvas. This isn't meant as a criticism but rather that the overall direction of the work veers towards say John Adams territory. Just a thought.

I believe this is exactly what I said when I listened to it for the first time. It remains my favorite Henning work, too.

[Karl Henning]

Thanks, Greg!

[Karl Henning]

Just learnt this morning of the attached event (yes, the same day as I shall play Thoreau in Concord Jail at King's Chapel). The Scholars are singing my Nunc dimittis (again [!!!]):

Out in the Sun for sure, my favorite from the Henningmusik collection.

Hey! Me too! Almost a year later and it's still a piece I put into the "I wish I composed that" list. 

[Karl Henning]

Thanks, lads!

[Karl Henning]

The cellist in the trio for this event is a musical acquaintance I am cultivating.

This is to-night, should be fun.

Last night at the Museum, not only did I have the pleasure of meeting again with Peter H Bloom, who among other commitments is a member of the Aardvark Jazz Orchestra performing in the auditorium at the museum last night . . . but my recorder-playing acquaintance, Héloïse was visiting the MFA with her sister from over sea. Thus it is that, even though of course I have 4 or 5 other things I ought to attend to first, this morning I started a sketch for alto recorder and harpsichord.

A reminder that this is to-morrow morning; that the service begins at 11:00 Chowder Time, and will live-stream from http://wers.org/; and that to-night we here in the US change the clocks, losing an hour.

About to head over to the Back Bay . . . .

I went to that station around 8:05 to make sure it would work, and they were playing some klezmer music hopped up on meth and steroids!       Great fun!

[Karl Henning]

The other piece we're singing in this service is the sumptuous Messiaen O sacrum convivium.

My piece follows the sermon: don't give up!

[Karl Henning]

Thoreau is done!

[Karl Henning]

Had a good session of practice last night (yes, yes, about time). Thoreau should fly well to-morrow. Will re-charge the HMMCU (Henning Mobile Musick-Capturing Unit) to-night.

And now: I've less than a week to wrap up Annabel Lee, have to send her in to the Libellas this Saturday coming. Onward!
