Program note
In English
- Istid (1997)
- Clarinet, violin, cello and piano
- Istid (Ice Age) evokes the era when a vast white mantle of ice covered Northern Europe, carving the hills and valleys of the modern landscape. The work begins with the clarinet, violin, and cello playing in a shared register, creating a texture that slowly opens and closes beneath the piano's "ice crystals." The music then moves into a freer, more breathing middle section before concluding with quiet, crystalline harmonics.
- Martin Lohse 1997
In Danish
- Istid (1997)
- Klarinet, violin, cello og klaver
- Istid fremmaner den tid, hvor et enormt hvidt isdække dækkede det meste af Nordeuropa og formede nutidens bjerge og dale. Værket begynder med klarinet, violin og cello i samme register i en musik, der langsomt åbner og lukker sig under klaverets "iskrystaller." Midterstykket ånder mere frit, før værket slutter i et svagt og krystallinsk klangbillede af rene flageoletter.
- Martin Lohse 1997
Work Description
Evocative work inspired by the Ice Age and the formation of the Northern European landscape, moving from dense textures beneath piano "ice crystals" to a concluding crystalline music of pure harmonics
