Second movement is done. Holler if an mp3 may be of interest to you.

Per this blog post, I have this unusual feeling (or, really, a familiar feeling, only to an unusual degree) that I am actually a composer . . . .

I hope Dr Phillips' group does play (and record!) Misapprehension. I just listened to it for the first time; a fun piece..unless I misapprehended it

In late-breaking news, Dr Tim tells me that Misapprehension is the first thing in the fall lineup.

Is this the group in Alabama?

[Lisztianwagner]

I'm sorry, where can Misapprehension be heard? I saw the score that looks really interesting, a work completely for clarinets!

Aye.

I was thinking of sending you the link! Will do in a bit.

How great, thank you very much, Karl!

For those fans out there, take a listen (and a read, if you can handle a score) to the second movement of Karl's Organ Sonata.

Keep in mind that he is composing it with a motto in mind, namely the temptation of the Serpent in the Garden of Eden: Eritis sicut Deus, scientes Bonum et Malum i.e. "You will be like God, knowing Good and Evil."

Overall impression: marvelously orgelmässig (worthy of the powers of the organ), enigmatic yet expressive (e.g. that Brucknerian pedal theme) of the contradictions inherent in the title.  i.e. "Knowing Good" might seem to warrant some bright triumphant music, but keep in mind who is saying this sentence!

I find that bars 29-34 are my next favorite, along with the inventive conclusion, and that the movement flows nicely out of the opening Eritis sicut Deus.

The audience awaits the Finale: "...et Malum"  (...and Evil)     0:)

How great, thank you very much, Karl!

Just back from an outing to the Arboretum. YHM, Ilaria!

Well, I have no idea of what YHM means, but thank you for sending the link of Misapprehension, Karl, I've just checked on my email. I'll listen to it now!

Furthermore, there has been talk of a new piece for clarinet and marimba.

Got a start on the MS. of the third movement yesterday.  Lovely outing at the Arnold Arboretum, and then (as the air was quite fresh, in spite of everyone's eagerness that it should be spring already) . . . well, a nap, really.

But I'll call it a good start, and I got some more work scribbled on this morning's train.

"...et Malum"    

A very good start!  I am hearing the opposite of Bonum!   0:)
