Henning's Headquarters

[Karl Henning]

Had much to do last night, but saw to it all:  practiced my two challenging passages in Trumpeter, just need to fix upon them on a near-daily basis.  Had to run out for some groceries.  And since part of my hoop-jumping on Thursday will be, to warm the choir up, I created a Sibelius file with an assortment of likely warm-ups, for the convenience of the accompanist (and after all, having the accompanist able to shadow the choir to keep them honest, is for my own convenience). [And I needed to get that done last night, since I am at the museum shop tonight.]

The cellist for whom I wrote Nicodemus likes the piece.

Dance of the Cheeky Devils

The cellist for whom I wrote Nicodemus likes the piece.

I'd say that's a positive start, Karl, now close the sale with, "What date are you interested in performing this live?"

[Karl Henning]

Cheers, Greg! I perceive that I have under-informed you  She writes:

Sorry it's taken me a couple of days, but I did get to read through the piece with my accompanist at school, and we both loved it! I especially love the pizz effect in the piano, and the harmonies! We have been scheming places to play it.

Very nice, Karl!

And Olivia Kieffer has sent me a video of rehearsal of Journey to the Dayspring (I hope you'll be able to go to the performance?)  Sounds cracking, already!

[Karl Henning]

I've not listened to, nor even thought about, Journey to the Dayspring for a long time.  I've written so much since, that quite a bit of distance has set in, and it is very interesting to hear one's own work from such a distance, as we might say. Not only has the blood cooled, but there is a curious process of "rediscovering" one's own creation.  It is a pleasure (and not merely a relief) to hear an older piece, and feel genuinely glad to have written it.

Do you know if she intends to pluck the notes?

"Scheming" to play one of Karl's best works!  Is there an interdict in place against Henningmusick?    

[Karl Henning]

If there be, anywhere, then I suppose that Tennessee may be the place!

[Karl Henning]

I think I should see to this.

[Karl Henning]

I mean, technically, either Nicodemus or just what everyone was expecting fits.

[Karl Henning]

I am disinclined, though, to submit either of those duets. Honestly  my thoughts are turning to an adaptation of Counting Sheep.

"Scheming" to play one of Karl's best works!

Scheduled for Palm Sunday (13 Apr 2014), although Sara writes that they hope to perform it sooner, as well.

[Cato]

I think I should see to this.

Yes!  Since it says nothing about how many you could submit, check that opus list!  0:)

"Emerging composers" it says!  Aye, 'tis high time for Karl to "emerge" Out in the Sun!

[Karl Henning]

Dudes, Mrs Kirstin Peltz speaks well of the cello-&-piano pieces; and Mark Engelhardt likes the Organ Sonata a lot.

The world, therefore, is what it should be!   

Yay Team!
