To state the obvious: wish I might hear an actual orchestra play this.

Okay, so I can't help myself:

I see that I have not yet uploaded audio for the third mvt of the Op. 148. Perhaps I ought.

Me too!  The music sounds good but they need the real deal to really sing.

😇  Amen, Brothers!  😇

Ah, the reason I haven't is, that there is a bit of a glitch at the very end of the sound file. Now, to decide how much I care about that.

[Karl Henning]

Starting with fellow composer Chas Turner's useful comments, and help in Sibelius courtesy of @relm1 I have at last been addressing the score of the String Symphony. I think, overall, there is less wrong with it than I feared.

[Karl Henning]

Yesterday I had a go at throwing some notes at the staff of the projected tone-poem score. Maybe they're good notes, generally, but they aren't the right notes for this piece. I feel that I was making an attempt to do some composing for the day. Not a genuinely empty exercise, but I realize that for this piece I want to step away from the paper and do me some thinking first.

Sounds like the staff was batting them back to you?  Time to come up with some different pitches.

Looks substantive and I love the unsettled ending!  Did you mean to drop vln 1 harmonics at 516 or was that a glitch?

Pr. a glitch, thanks for the catch, I'll fix it. I think Louis would have been tickled by the ending, too.

I see what you did there, Catfish!

it's high summer, so I mustn't have absurd expectations, but four-ish of the organists are observing radio silence. The other consideration being: in some cases the silence stretches back well before summer.
So, yeah, feeling this:

For the MIDI demo, yes, I've cared, and I found the fix. Now to gird my loins to upload the clean sound-file to YouTube.

[Karl Henning]

As to the tone-poem, I'm still waiting patiently on my
Muse. Maybe it's just that I'm supposed to get The Lungs and Louis hoist up to YouTube first. It's a long while since last I used Adobe Premiere Elements, so tomorrow looks like re-training.

[Karl Henning]

Just listened to the "Henning Second" again in toto. Whatever else, I'm glad I wrote it. I've reached out again to Matt, He seldom responds to e-mail, but I thought I'd try. Looks like the CRWE is done for the year.
