Many thanks, Karl.  Excellent work, just finished listening to the completed version! 

Thank you, Ray!

[Cato]

Bavarian/Tyrolean squirrels seem to prefer a different type of music:



Obviously not a Jazzy squirrel, but...

Actually, I have since discovered that this is Miles Eichhörnchen, founder of the Alpine Jazz Movement!

And he's feeling very nostalgic!   

[Karl Henning]

Hah!

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

We are lucky to be able to hear such new music straight from the source! I just listened to both Plotting and My Island Home. The former is a curious piece, which manages to be spooky, austerely elevated and exciting (those closing pages, Moderato ma energico!). The latter is a bit 'Varèse meets Henning', a study in percussion sonorities, with all the Henning trademarks there (dynamism, rhythm). I love both, with a slight preference for Plotting, because the structure is so beautiful and emotionally satisfying.

[Karl Henning]

Many thanks, Johan!

[Karl Henning]

I may tinker just a bit with the very end of My Island Home.

[Cato]

I may tinker just a bit with the very end of My Island Home.

With my writings, the tinkering can occur almost every time I re-read something!   

When the tinkering is done, don't forget the score!   

[Karl Henning]

Will do!

I suffered perhaps a 5% doubt that the ending was truly tout comme il faut.  When I played it back for Masha, she asked about the ending.  So, I do entertain the question . . . .

[ Cross-post ]

At the Lessons & Carols tomorrow night, I shall play my Sonatina sopra « Veni, Emmanuel »

[Karl Henning]

Will do!

I think that inserting one or at most two measures will do the trick . . . .

[Sergeant Rock]

Will do!

I like the way it ends...unexpectedly, mysteriously. In fact, I love it. (And I'm sure the Hurwitzer would approve of the tamtam  )

[Karl Henning]

Thank you!  I shall indeed leave it unaltered, then.

[Karl Henning]

Hey, just heard from Olivia.  She likes it!

[jochanaan]

Okay:  the conductor has acknowledged, and is looking at the sax choir version of Intermezzo I.

New hit series: Sax and the Choir! 

[Cato]

New hit series: Sax and the Choir! 

When I was a boxing manager     , my rule to the boys was: "No sax before a fight!"   0:)

[Karl Henning]

Just to remind myself . . . .

Thanks, Cato.

Separately . . . may send them the Angular Whimsies, or I may send them just what everyone was expecting . . . .
