The Henningmusick Op.120 poll!

[Karl Henning]

The quartet-in-progress has assumed a character which I find is quite poorly reflected by the title Dysfunction & Outright Extortion (which is a fine title, and which I will employ hereafter).

Here is the dish:

• The poll only runs for 8 days, because the piece will be done in that time. (You just watch, if you think I don't mean it.)
• Only one vote per user;  but, you are allowed to change your vote.
• The composer will not be bound by the poll's results; however—
• The results will have an impact on the decision. I seek your opinion!
• Proposals for other titles are welcome, but the criterion is: Something Mysterious

To recap:  the piece will run 5-6 minutes total, and is scored for flute in C, clarinet in A, double-bass and frame drum.  The première will be Tuesday, 15 April, at King's Chapel on Tremont Street in Boston.

Chaotic Synchronicity

How about.... Something Mysterious ?

How about.... Something Mysterious ?

Chaotic Synchronicity

Or even "Synchronous (Synchronicitous?) Chaos..."

I like these too! 

Wer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual.

Or even "Synchronous (Synchronicitous?) Chaos..."

I like these too! 

Wer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual.

Synchronized chaos? I will take that or any variation of that. It is a term that I came up with and have used in the past.

I chose Trees, but will throw one into the mix... I did not see that coming!

I like it, though . . . not for this piece

I myself am trending arborward . . . .

How about.... Something Mysterious ?

My thought as well! I vote for Something Mysterious! with exclamation point.

Reservation for Op.121...

[Karl Henning]

Maybe so . . . likely to be a piece for The 9^th Ear ....

[springrite]

From the choices given, Trees stand out. So that's where my vote goes.

It also sounds like a line I'd write in one of my poems.

[Wanderer]

I don't know the character of the piece but a (rather) mysterious title that came to mind is "Attendance is Declining" (which would also make perfect sense if you were to phase out instruments one by one at the end).

Omaggio a Papa

[Mirror Image]

I voted for I See People Walking Around Like Trees. Seems like a cool title to me and, of course, it's quite ambiguous, which is what I think Karl usually goes for in compositional titles.

For the Pheidippides Fife and Drum Corps

Suggestive of things temporally-spatially proximate to the premiere,   but only suggestive....

[Karl Henning]

Thanks, all!
