The programming of Gesang des gesegneten Leben op.18 with Gustav Mahler's 2nd Symphony , a commissioned work for the Stuttgart Opera, premiered by GMD Manfred Honeck, is certainly an important musical highlight for Hensel.

The musicologist Christian Heindl states in his essay about Daniel Hensel in the program booklet for the 2nd symphony concert in the Liederhalle Stuttgart on December 7th, 2008: “It may not be wrong, Hensel (who is a member of both the German Association of Composers and the Austrian Association of Composers ) to see a line of tradition from Schubert to Mahler and his teacher Schedl into the present. Accordingly, according to Hensel's own statement, a lifelong dream comes true with the world premiere of Gesang des gesegneten Leben op.18 : the joint programming of one of his works in conjunction with Gustav Mahler ”.

With the String Sextet 20 op. Klärchen song , a commissioned work by the Kassel Music Days 2009, premiered by Ensemble Modern under the direction of Jonathan Stockhammer , working with the start Doblinger , a reissue of the work took place in the Arnold Schoenberg Center in Vienna by the ensemble lux .

Hensel completed his habilitation in systematic musicology at the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg in 2016 and has been a private lecturer there ever since . For the process he developed the music analysis software PALESTRiNIZER together with the software developer Ingo Jache and published the knowledge gained with the software in tonality research in the habilitation thesis as "Contributions to music informatics, mode, sound and time design in Lassus and Palestrina motets".

Together with the Austrian musicologist Christian Heindl and the former Schedl student and composer Roman Pawollek , Hensel actively campaigned for the performances of Schedl's works. This led to a cooperation between the Viennese association for contemporary music il rilievo and the Alte Schmiede as well as the Studio for New Music Würzburg . His work, “Der Scheintod”, from the Knaben Wunderhorn, was premiered by the Ensemble Platypus and the soloist Ursula Langmayr in the Austrian Cultural Forum in the Austrian Embassy in Berlin.
