Here’s a little 12 tone arrangement of the Passion Chorale that I scratched out in a few minutes the other day for our SPACE service. For all of you that don’t believe that I wrote serial music for 10 years, here’s the proof. Of course, this had to be simple. We don’t practice. This was the first reading. Still, it’s kind of nice in that 12 tone sort of way.

Interesting. How did the parishioners like it?
That parishoners at that service is accustomed to diverse music. We use everything from prepared piano to Indian ragas. You can hear some of the other improvised music here. http://www.facebook.com/#!/space.smoc Of course, when you have a nationally renowned violist playing for you, it makes things pretty amazing.
