Program note
Composed in the winter of 2017 - 2018 and revised in 2025, Double Concerto in G is a minimalist and melodic concerto dedicated to Bolette Roed and Arte dei Suonatori. The work draws significant inspiration from the Baroque master Antonio Vivaldi, whose music is lively and playful yet possesses a profound musical and human depth.
The work unfolds over seven movements:
- Moderato
- Allegretto
- Largo
- Vivace
- Siciliano
- Vivace
- Allegro con moto
An energetic opening movement is followed by a dance-like second movement, leading into a substantial, slow third movement. The fifth movement - a Siciliano - is flanked by two short, rapid Vivace movements, before the concerto concludes with an energetic finale.
The work features flexible instrumentation to accommodate various ensemble sizes. It ranges from the original string orchestra version (requiring a minimum of 3.3.2.2.1) to a 'less divisi' version (minimum 2.2.1.1.1), both of which can be expanded for larger orchestras. For intimate settings, it can be performed by solo strings as a quintet or quartet. Additionally, the piece exists in an arrangement for recorder and organ.

Programnote
Double Concerto in G er en minimalistisk og melodisk koncert dedikeret til Bolette Roed og Arte dei Suonatori. Værket er komponeret i vinteren 2017 - 2018 og revideret i 2025. Det henter betydelig inspiration fra barokmesteren Antonio Vivaldi, hvis musik er livlig og legende, men samtidig rummer en stor menneskelig og musikalsk dybde.
Værket udfolder sig over syv satser:
- Moderato
- Allegretto
- Largo
- Vivace
- Siciliano
- Vivace
- Allegro con moto
En energisk åbningssats efterfølges af en dansepræget andensats, der leder over i en vægtig, langsom tredjesats. Den femte sats - en Siciliano - er indrammet af to korte, hurtige Vivace-satser, før koncerten afsluttes med en energisk finale.
Værket er tilrettelagt med en fleksibel instrumentation, der kan tilpasses forskellige ensemblestørrelser. Det findes i en original version for strygeorkester (minimumsbesætning 3.3.2.2.1) og en udgave med reduceret divisi (minimum 2.2.1.1.1), der begge kan udvides til brug for større orkestre. I mindre sammenhænge kan værket opføres solistisk som strygekvintet eller -kvartet. Derudover findes værket i et arrangement for blokfløjte og orgel.
