Henning's Headquarters

[Karl Henning]

I blush even as I share this:

Karl, both of these are really excellent, No.2 particularly so. We'd like to play them next week as part of a little concert we're playing for K-- H--'s students. K-- is my daughter's Suzuki teacher, and I'll play with him and his violist teaching partner K-- A-- (who's actually from Boston). (Other rep is Dvorak Terzetto, Toch Serenade, and solo pieces from all of us.) Herewith are rough recordings of them. We rehearsed them a bit and taped them so you could hear them right away. So, Bravo and thanks for your precious inspiration!

Say, First Parish in Wayland was very kind to include mention of me on their page.

A new avatar!  And do I note a slight resemblance to your actual self?

It's that distinctive hairstyle. 


Meanwhile, are the spoken words 'I forgot how to use this thing' a part of the score?  0:)
The fruit are cool miniatures, Karl.

Wonder if Igor Fyodorovich ever sported a tail?

"No brag, just fact!"  0:)

Well deserved praise: NAXOS, pay attention!!!

The avocados were very tasty,  but only two means the appetite remains unsatisfied.

Not that I hinting that you should add to the collection, of course.

I'm taking what is technically known as my sweet time . . . but my plan has always been a set of five.

There may prove an occasion for exceeding that, I do see it.

Gosh, I had forgotten this version of Mirage (alto fl, cl, pf):

[Karl Henning]

Out of the blue, a wind ensemble conductor has expressed interest in I Sang to the Sky, and Day Broke.  And it was from his email of enquiry that I learn that the U of Colo Boulder w.e. has played Out in the Sun.

The sun of Henningsmusic rises upon the Rockies!

The Eyedrum event on Wednesday is officially up on Facebook.

[Karl Henning]

The choral music at this service was beautifully done, much of it a cappella by a small and obviously very professional choir.  The "chalice lighting" motet was by Karl Henning, Love Is the Spirit of This Church, and nothing in the text would preclude its use in other traditions as far as I could see.

[Karl Henning]

I'm on board.  Will sketch a bit of the next Avocado.

"All aboard for Anaheim, Azusa, and GUAC-A-MOLE!"   

[Karl Henning]

A good flight ... did some Avocado work, read some Hawthorne, and did some napping.

Karl, is the Eyedrum event on Wednesday your only performace while in town? And are you staying in downtown?

[Karl Henning]

There is also a Tuesday concert in Waleska, the Reinhardt Univ. Percussion Ensemble will play a piece I wrote for them, and I shall play the new arrangement of Mirage. I'm staying in Virginia Highland.

I knew about that one, I just didn't know how many shows with Eyedrum you had. Because that's much closer to where I live and would like to make that show on Wednesday.

And Virginia Highlands is nice, my wife worked there for just over a year when we first moved to Atlanta.

Great!
