Henning's Headquarters

Not yet.

I'm surprised you haven't written one for your own instrument: the clarinet, especially since you can be the soloist!

[Karl Henning]

It is official: Plan B is required for King's Chapel.

Actually thinking about a new clarinet solo piece.

Is that madness?

Actually thinking about a new clarinet solo piece.

Only solo?  How about hockets in the piano on assorted open 5ths and 7th and 9th chords, while the clarinet presents sinuous music from the moons of Jupiter?   0:)

No!

I do not deny the ideas' merits ; )

. . . at present, though, neither do I have a pianist, nor is there a piano in King's Chapel.

I am seriously thinking of a new clarinet unaccompanied piece, and there is ample time to get the chops back in fighting trim.

Paul's own piece from Sunday:

Paul's own piece from Sunday:

The combination of my declining eyesight and the slight blurriness makes me wonder whether you are hidden in the back by the conductor or are 4th from the right.

I would guess the latter (?).

And yes, nice little piece!

[Karl Henning]

Aye, fourth from the right.

More (id est, all the rest) of the concert yet to come!

Karl, I'm not sure in which thread you originally mentioned this painting, but I noticed this in the "New Releases at Amazon" banner

[Karl Henning]

It's getting around, Jeffrey!

Looks like the videographer (apart from starting with Paul's piece, as the briefest) is releasing the components of the choral program in concert order, and . . . we began with singing the Glass:

And... to-morrow is Classical Revolution Detroit. I wonder if the Op.96a will go on?...

[Karl Henning]

And, lo!

An absolutely beautiful, wonderful piece, Karl! Very fine performance too!! Was a pleasure to listen to!

[Lisztianwagner]

Excellent job, Karl, what a delighful piece! Are you the conductor too?

[Karl Henning]

Thank you both!

The conductor is Dr Paul Cienniwa.

My home internet connection is terribly unsteady, and will only load 31 seconds of the video. I'll try at work tomorrow, for they were an excellent 31 seconds!

[TheGSMoeller]

Divine, Mr. Henning. Thank you for posting.

I could tell the music was nice, but the audio wasn't up to par. Henning deserves better audio!

I used my Bose headphones and that helped immensely.

I just wrote to Karl: the tenor at 2:29ff. and that bass voice for the final Amen were really striking. 

[Karl Henning]

Many thanks!

Karl is the fellow who is ushered from the singers at the end and takes a polite bow.  Or it sure looks like him.   0:)
Magnificent.
What an honor it is to communicate with someone who can write such sacred wonders!
Compliments Karl.
