The adaptation was partly a matter of altering articulations &c. so that they should be idiomatic to strings; partly a matter of recasting lines (since Clarinet 3 might play lower than Violin 3 might, and Clarinet 11 higher than Violoncello 1, &c.); partly a matter of rethinking for a string ensemble (where might they play con sordino, &c.); and finally some places where I could reinforce lower voices . . . arguably also a matter of rethinking for strings.

Found the odd erratum in my Pat-A-Pan . . . .

Sometimes, you just need to sit on a sunny rock on the Maine coast.

Gorgeous image...after Caspar David Friedrich?

While I've been cavorting in Vacationland, the first Triad rehearsal for the next concert was held last night. I yet await a report ... it looked like 15 minutes of the rehearsal was dedicated to Nuhro, and I wonder, I wonder ....

Who would have led the rehearsal? Surely not someone unsympathetic?

Exquisite sunset as seen from Cadillac Mountain.

Not long before I snapped this, the canvas was completely bare.

Nuhro places special demands for the Triad model: most of the conductors are also singers, and with a piece which divides the choir in to 7 parts, often long sustained lines, all hands must sing!

Our Thos Stumpf (who conducted two of the pieces on the first concert) is our pianist, and as no piano is required for Nuhro, it was a natural fit logistically. Charles reports that the rehearsal went well, so I am guessing it is a fair musical fit, as well.

This latest version of the score includes the first Henningmusick ever composed on Cadillac Mountain!

And some progress on this, largely earned on Sandy Beach.

A little repair, a little expansion . . . .

Pam and Dan (horn and recorders, respectively) report that all is essentially do-able, but suggest that some mild adjustment may be needed. Looking forward to further refining the score, even as I am pleased that the fabric of the whole piece is intact.

Pam has repented

... she has been practicing, and finds that everything lies well, and is working fine.

Can only be absent-mindedness . . . did I really skip Op.133, or did I start some piece, and I've forgotten?

My money is on absent-mindedly skipped . . . .

Oh, yes ... the Pachelbel arrangement ... too funny that I had completely forgotten that! ... and now, I'm considering what other icons to mess with ....

At this point, a full minute with only this perfect fifth. Well, I've already added the third note, in the tubular bells. I certainly want that note to spread through the band a bit; I am just waiting to discover the right point. Maybe not until after I've introduced the piccolo.
