Musical styles and elements modal, melodic, minimalistic



In English

Passing (2011 - 2012)
Mobile for organ
Organ
Passing is dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen.
  • Passing Allegro con passion sostenuto: Quickly repeating notes, small motifs, and fast patterns. It features different tempos in both hands within the same register, all within a simple sequence of three major thirds representing the work's entire harmonic structure.
The score is written in exact pitch; the proposed registrations may be adjusted according to the acoustic space and specific instrument.
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).

In Danish

Passing (2011 - 2012)
Mobile for orgel
Orgel
Passing er tilegnet Bjarke Mogensen.
  • Passing Allegro con passion sostenuto: Hurtigt gentagne toner, små motiver og hurtige mønstre. Der benyttes forskellige tempi i begge hænder i det samme register, alt sammen i en simpel sekvens af tre store tertser, som udgør hele værkets harmonik.
Partituret er ikke transponerende; de foreslåede registreringer kan ændres alt efter rummet, instrumentet osv.
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.
