Henning's Headquarters

Mine arrived to-day.  Just may watch it . . . .

No, I haven't yet.  Still the beehive, here . . . .

[karlhenning]

Should be able to re-surface soon . . . .

Quick-&-dirty Sibelius file of № 1

№ 1 received its première performance yesterday in Nashville . . . I've been sent audio, but it's a file what wants unzipping.  Will see to it sometime this week.

Breaking news: Looks like we'll rock The Mousetrap again this November.

Karl, you composed a ballet right? If yes, has any ballet company been interested in performing the work?

It'll take another 7 years for him to finish it. 

[karlhenning]

Probably true, barring the highly unlikely event of a scheduled performance : )

John, I've got about 25 minutes yet to compose of White Nights to finish it.  Although as yet uncomplete, it's already the most substantial chunk of music I've written to date.  The combination of keeping my desk clear for any project which involves an actual performance, and the thought that I've written this large bit of music just for the shelf (so far), is (so far as I can tell) all that is preventing completion of the piece.  Chances are that even an event as modestly encouraging as an orchestra programming the Overture, would be a spark to reignite that engine.

Incidentally (though as yet nothing concrete has emerged there, either) an old friend in Germany has spoken of choreographing a dance to The Mousetrap.

In brighter news . . . I've recently been "friended" on fb by an organist in California who has expressed a lively interest in my scores for brass.

I understand well here's to a commission that will motivate you to finish the work.

Thanks, John!

Just got a call from Pete Lekx, who is on board for The Mousetrap.  In fact (and his enthusiasm struck me as genuine) he says that he looks forward to giving it another go.

Still have not . . . DVD viewing habits are suspended for the time being.

[Karl Henning]

Not sure if anything will come of it, of course ... but a chap in California has inquired quite warmly after some of the brass quintet music.

Only 58 posts from Mr. Henning. He's got a lot of work to do if he wants to catch up with the rest of us....

[Karl Henning]

Always a lot of work, in any event, of course . . . much of it (or some, anyway) to which I am only happy to apply myself.

Got a nice call from Pete Lekx last night;  The Mousetrap will spring again.

Watched part of the DVD again yesterday, great performances all around, and it's a real treat to watch you perform Irreplaceable Doodle, well done, and great piece, Karl.

[Karl Henning]

Thank you indeed for your kindness, Greg!

The Guacamole Act of 1917. How Peter Falk could deliver that line with a straight face . . . the man was a professional.
