Program note
In English
- Concerto in Tempi is about time - both slow and fast - laid in layers on top of each other.
- Long themes and small motifs, in various time signatures and tempos, swirl between each other and blend into a texture of voices that slowly change and ebb away, like the pure colored light from a glass mosaic in a church as darkness falls.
- The work is available in several versions: the original for accordion and piano (1st edition 2010, 2nd edition 2012) and arrangements for accordion with string orchestra, string quintet, string quartet, or cello quartet (2012).
- Dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen and David Lau Magnussen
- Duration app. 11 min

In Danish
- Concerto in Tempi handler om tid, både langsom og hurtig og lagt som lag ovenpå hinanden.
- Lange temaer og små motiver, i forskellige taktarter og tempoer, hvirvler rundt mellem hinanden og blandes sammen i et væv af stemmer der langsomt forandres og ebber ud, ligesom det rene farvede lys fra en glasmosaik i en kirke, efterhånden som mørket falder på.
- Værket findes i flere versioner: Originaludgaven for akkordeon og klaver (1. udgave 2010, 2. udgave 2012) samt udgaver for akkordeon og henholdsvis strygeorkester, strygekvintet, strygekvartet eller cellokvartet (2012).
- Dedikeret til Bjarke Mogensen og David Lau Magnussen
- Varighed ca. 11 min
