Program note
In English
- 6 Preludes (2003)
- Organ solo
- The proposed registers can be changed according to the room and instrument, and the preludes can be performed individually or as a suite.
- 6 Preludes is dedicated to David Lau Magnussen and was arranged for piano and for accordion in 2013.
- The focus on melody and especially harmony is profound in the work. It is based mainly on major thirds and sequences of varying duration. In Preludes no. 2, 4, and 6, there are periods with long accelerandos that slowly but inevitably transform the music into a different state of musical expression.
- Martin Lohse 2003
In Danish
- 6 Preludes (2003)
- Orgelsolo
- De foreslåede registreringer kan ændres efter rum og instrument, og præludierne kan opføres enkeltvis eller som en suite.
- 6 Preludes er tilegnet David Lau Magnussen og blev arrangeret for både klaver og akkordion i 2013.
- Der er et dybt fokus på melodi og især harmoni i værket, hovedsageligt baseret på store tertser og sekvenser af varierende længde. I præludium nr. 2, 4 og 6 findes perioder med lange accelerandoer, der langsomt men uundgåeligt ændrer musikken til en ny tilstand af musikalsk udtryk.
- Martin Lohse 2003

Expert reviews
... Fresh music, contemporary but not excessively "intellectual" and not at all hermetic, indeed sincere and communicative, often captivating, which show strong roots with the great Western "classical" tradition; a happy combination, just like in Scarlatti, of lightness and playfulness with passion and solemnity.
... Music that surely reconciles the audience with contemporary "cultured" music and that undoubtedly enrichs the specific repertoire for the accordion.

Lykkeligt match
10 års samarbejde mellem Bjarke Mogensen og den danske komponist Martin Lohse har resulteret i en fin udgivelse med Lohses på én gang minimalistiske, melodiøse musik, som overraskende nok er moderne kompositionsmusik fra dette århundrede. Nogle er omskrevne tidligere værker, andre nykomponerede til Bjarke Mogensen. Lyst og venligt, men også indadvendt og mørkt, hans sans for udnyttelse af instrumentets trods alt begrænsede muligheder ligger i de ofte sindrigt udtænkte rytmiske lag, der som et "perpetuum mobile" udvikler sig og overrasker. Bjarke Mogensens suveræne spil gør oplevelsen stor, og ved flere aflytninger øges glæden. Cyklus-titler som "Passing" og "Momentum" synes velegnede og udtrykker sigende musikkens væsen, sammen med små menuetter eller de seks præludier, som er mere end blot forspil til noget andet.

"This release will convert the skeptic to new classical music"
"It may well be that you are not going to be religious, if you invest in this release from Gateway Music. On the other hand, there is some risk that you will be reversed and start listening to contemporary music."
