Henning's Headquarters

[Jubal Slate]

This thread is nothing like Heading's Henquarters.

[Karl Henning]

no, indeed

[name of conductor] and I got a chance to sit down and peruse your scores, and while we appreciate you sharing your music with us, the scores you have sent thus far don't indicate that you music is a good fit for [name of ensemble dedicated to new music].

Must be a bunch of Yale men!   0:)

Either their skills really do not match what is needed to play ...? Out in the Sun, or their musical taste is underdeveloped.

A chorus, not in Boston.

Matt tells me that busy-ness has took over, and he has begged off from doing just what everyone was expecting in June.  We may cast that for October, instead.

I need to follow up with Frank the violist viz. The Mousetrap.

[Karl Henning]

Annabel Lee again!

Libella Quartet will be performing the pieces you kindly wrote for us on Sunday, May 17, at 3pm at the Loring-Greenough House in JP.  We hope you can come !!!!!!

Yo

[Karl Henning]

Thanks!

My most estimable colleague Peter H. Bloom has put me in touch with a student of his who (a) performs as part of a fl/cl/pf trio (hence my reaching out to her to purchase that version of the Fragments of « Morning Has Broken »), and (b) leads (and/or performs in) a double woodwind quintet, so I have offered to write something . . . .

This was a ball I dropped, after an initial exchange of e-mail messages.  I've reached out anew today.

Well, the year has gotten off to a somewhat slower start, performance-wise, than I had hoped.  Nevertheless, more than half of the performances this year so far, have not involved me as a performer — which is a kind of progress!

Yo

Checking for the exit, I see.

I had fun rehearsing my church choir last night;  what a nice group of people!

Really good Triad rehearsal last night.  It's time I built a Triad page on SoundCloud, and posted some sneak previews of the 11 May concert.

There will be a Kickstarter campaign.  If it does no violate the spirit and ethics of GMG, I should post a link here to that endeavor once it's online.

Many thanks for this!  Will there be a recording of at least your work?

[Karl Henning]

There will be a recording of the lot!

I am still hoping to put on The Mousetrap at King's Chapel this 2 June.  The good news is, the "new" violist, Frank Grimes (a long-standing colleague of our own Peter H Bloom), likes the piece, thinks it will be fun to play.  The only question, of course, is:  is there time for the two of us to put it together in the next four weeks (concert date is four weeks from today!)

We shall reach a decision this week (of course) . . . Plan B is to revive the Studies in Impermanence.
