Sentinel Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi guys! Well, anyone who knows me you know I'm from Sweden, composing new classical music. Guess my luck when I was approached in December by a german string quartet wanting to play MY music in the Ludwighafen area this fall. Actually four concerts just two weeks from now... see photo. I wrote this piece - an oboe quintet - that they heard on youtube and wanted to perform. Now during the months gone we have agreed for me to re-write it for flute and string quartet just because we feel it would sound better. 🙂 So I've asked for a week off from my teaching job here in Sweden to come down for two of the four performances. It will be fantastic, not only the cred and the music but also visiting "The Tuscany of Germany", as someone called the area! It is postcard perfect, and very beautiful down there. So, any of our German HFC'rs wanting to join me there on the 5th or 6th of October - you are warmly welcome for this nice classical event. All the best to you all, /Curt Wrango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polara Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 That is fantastic! I was raised on baroque, classical, and romantic music, while my brother majored in "legit" music so I'm in awe of anyone who can master this kind of composition. Can you share a YouTube link?

Hardrockracer Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Just to make sure, you're only playing those weekend shows with that quartett and not the date on Oct. 17th? Because that gig is actually in the building I work. HRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did not work out for this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But come and have a listen, then please tell me what you think about my music 😀 /.Thanks Curt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorch Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 It had been a great joy to meet Sentinel at the Deutsche Weinstrasse. The smell of fresh wine was everywhere as had been the wine (of course). We had dinner together with two people from the Streichquartett, a nice talk in the night and breakfast in a local bakery. We both agreed that Hamer guitars are simply the best. Many thanks Sentinel for your time and great music! The HFC, again, brought great people together! Just noticing that we missed out on the classic selfie! I'm lazy taking pics recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardrockracer Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Not sure I can make it Thursday even if it's in the building I work. Thurdays is always full of appointments after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentinel Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Here is a photo video with the audio of my whole 15 minute composition, as played on Oct 5th, in Hainfeld, Germany. 😊 (I will also post it as a separate topic!) Please listen to it all, the three parts of it, because it makes more sense that way. 🙋🏻♂️🎵 /Sentinel, Curt Wrangö PS, applause removed, only music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
