Tenors should never drive a rabbit to desperate measures. Thus endeth the lesson.

Okay, after 2 minutes, I kept wondering: "Where are all these sounds, and why does it only sound like a vacuum cleaner two blocks away?"

The YouTube volume was nearly off! 

Cranking it up really made things take off! 

Alternative title: Sex Tape From Outer Space !!!

An idea which has been some years in forming . . . Maria and I are planning a cooperative effort, an event in which she paints a canvas in response to accompanying music.  We decided to do this for the 21 June date at King's Chapel;  we're still taping out the timeframe, and what character of music she wants where.  But (and partly, of course, inspired by the piece of David's we played back in October) I am planning to create some fixed media, against which Peter H. Bloom & I (and maybe Pam Marshall . . . I'll see if she is available!) will play.

And Maria wants it loud.  So maybe we want another flute, too . . . .

Oh! And at last, the March première of Neither do I condemn thee is up on YouTube:

Nice piece. Quite enjoyable.

Thanks!  The two performers genuinely like the piece, I was gratified to find.

I can only agree with Sarge's assessment. Nicely done, Karl.

[Karl Henning]

Thanks, lads.

This news can only bring Jens pain . . . .

Pam is indeed interested.

Just a bit of (sonic) fun:

The arguable imperfections of this aside ... as I listen, and think of what ought to be refined, or what could be used otherwise, I am getting ample ideas for the fixed media elements for the King's Chapel event.

I have only just begun the puttering process.

Revisiting it after a night's rest . . . I think this may in fact be usable.

Maria & I are still talking about overall structure, and stage-by-stage details.  There will be two pieces, slow and fast.  The above Study would not be the start of the slow piece, but will (I think) work as an interior episode.

Pam is indeed interested.

And Carol is in (which is why the Study above includes lines for two fl, cl & hn).

For the Triad concert on Saturday the 14^th (and we have scrapped the concert on the 16^th, as no one found a venue), I proposed to the group (with Maria's full consent) that Maria was ready to create a pair of vertical pieces to flank the choir during the concert, adding a visual element.  (The time is short, so the execution must perforce be simple.)  Not surprisingly, the reaction has been enthusiastically positive, and we have volunteers to help hang the artwork (when it is ready for the hanging).  I've gotten copies of the texts to the artist, so she will derive visual motifs from what we are singing.

Some Bax on tonight's program, incidentally.

I think that first study may survive as part of an interlude between the two "painting pieces";  the artist talked about what she would like, and it has been an engaging challenge.

This here is what I propose as the fixed media counterpoint/accompaniment to the four live winds (whose parts I am about to sketch).

It was hurting my neck ......

Thanks. I don't know why Tapatalk flipped it, nor could I figure out how to adjust it manually.

The entire program was exquisite.
