Program note

English

Passing (2011-2012)
Three mobile for accordion

Passing is dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen and is in three movements:

  • Passing I Allegro con passion sostenuto

Quickly repeating notes, small motives and fast patterns. Different tempos in both hands and in the same register, all in a simple sequence of 3 major thirds which represents all the harmonics in the piece.

  • Passing II Andante con dolore sostenuto

Slow movement with a theme that slowly moves around in different registers

  • Passing III Moderato maestoso

Fast movement based on the same simple sequence as in Passing I.

The score is in exact pitch, and the proposed registers can be changed according to room and instrument etc.
The three parts can be performed individually or as a suite.

Mobile
Mobile is a compositional technique where multiple layers of music with independent tempos, meters, and styles are integrated into a recurring chordal pattern. These chords modulate slowly through all keys, resulting in a harmonic language with minimal dissonance.
The technique synthesizes several methods developed across earlier works:
  1. Continuous Modulation: A repeating sequence of chords that modulates from start to finish, creating a state of constant motion. This was first utilized in Haiku (1999) and further developed in In Liquid... (violin and piano) (2003) and Image Balancantes (2004).
  2. Simultaneous Layers: The use of multiple independent musical layers, which has been a primary element of the music since 2000.
  3. Rhythm Across Harmony: A principle where independent motives are played in individual tempos against the rhythm of the underlying chords. This was first explored in Smoke (2000), refined in Liebestraum (Liszt arrangement from 2005) and 8 Momenti Mobile (2008), and reached its definitive form in Concerto in Tempi (2010).

Passing (2011-2012)
Tre mobiler for akkordeon

Passing er dedikeret til Bjarke Mogensen og er i tre satser:

  • Passing I Allegro con passion sostenuto

Hurtige gentagende noder, små motiver og hurtige mønstrer. Forskellige tempoer i begge hænder og i det samme register, alt i en simpel sekvens af 3 store tertser som udgør hele harmonikken i værket.

  • Passing II Andante con dolore sostenuto

Langsom sats med et tema der langsomt bevæger sig rundt i forskellige registre

  • Passing III Moderato maestoso

Hurtig sats baseret på den samme simple sekvens som i Passing I.

Partituret er ikke transponerende, og de noterede registre kan skiftes alt efter rum, instrument osv.
De tre dele kan opføres individuelt eller som en suite.

Mobile
En teknik hvor forskellige lag af musik i hver deres tempo, metrik og musikalsk stil kombineres i et simpelt mønster af akkorder, som langsomt modulerer igennem alle tonearter i en uendelig sekvens, skabende en musik med ingen eller ganske få dissonanser.

Expert reviews

Accordions Worldwide April 2018 ... external link

... 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.
