Henning's Headquarters

[Karl Henning]

I think the first bit serves enough as an introduction, and I've somehow got the passacaglia itch.

Sent all the stuff in to Boston Musica Viva (per blog).

Hey! The group's admin has acknowledged receipt of the materials, so that's a start.

Karl, what in the world was that? are you serious?
    This was very tenacious, I wish it had some charm...

"Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me so?"   0:)

I know somebody who needed some charm!   0:)  And how many performances has Saul had of his neo-Mendelssohnesque creations?

Anybody?  Anybody?

He knows some basic chords and about arpeggios:

Amen!  Now we shall see if their ears have any sense whatsoever!

Positive response to Out in the Sun, from a wind ensemble conductor in the SUNY system!

Not that I know he would have any use for it, but it is with this fellow in mind that I have been re-creating the score of Moonrise in Sibelius.

One quirky thing about the Sibelius 7 sounds:  not matter how long a tone needs to be sustained, the flugelhorn sound cuts off after a certain (and brief, as it feels to me) duration.  I may need to tinker with a "for MIDI" Sibelius file, just to get a sample sound file which at least has all the voices sounding when they ought to be . . . .

[Karl Henning]

Amen!  Now we shall see if their ears have any sense whatsoever!   

I should add to the score:  To be conducted with sleeves no shorter than 32.

. . . worked a bit at re-creating a Sibelius file of Moonrise. . .

Shall we expect "Nightride and Sunrise" next?

Maybe Karlcould compose:  Sunride and Nightrise!

Very authentic! Just like a real flugelhorn player!   

[Karl Henning]

Hah! Indeed.

[Karl Henning]

I must proof this, but it's largely ready.

[Karl Henning]

And an mp3 of the MIDI is up at SoundCloud.

[Karl Henning]

And Paul tells me that the violinist and he are fixin' to play a concert on 5 April.  He's confirming with the violinist that she is game for a new piece from this Henning . . . .

[Cato]

I must proof this, but it's largely ready.

Is the score in C or has it been transposed?

[Karl Henning]

Thank you, transposed...should note that.

[Karl Henning]

Well, the passacaglia has been coming along gradually

[Karl Henning]

And it goeth on . . . .

I was thinking 32 vars, but I may discover as many as 36 . . . .

[Karl Henning]

Of course, I've not worked on the percussion ensemble piece much since returning north . . . but at last, I have Olivia's attention . . . here's hoping!

Just started a quartet for a brace of concerts to straddle January-February, the quartet to be called (in homage to a creation of our Cato's) Jazz for Nostalgic Squirrels.

Nut crunching stuff, I hope.
