Hennig usually seeks a narrative perspective. The ideas behind his works, however, should not be misinterpreted as simple programs, but seen as concepts impinging on the work down to the parameters of it's musical fabric. Hennig is keenly interested in the basic experiences of human existence. One might almost call him a phenomenologist illuminating the constants of our perception and behavior. Hennig's works project meaning. Listeners can usually follow what happens in the notes, which takes place on a quite accessible level.
