Musical styles and elements modal, melodic, minimalistic
Program note
In English
- Resonance (2015)
- Guitar trio
- Starting with a long, slow accelerando, Resonance develops from a repetitive movement into a fast, rhythmical piece with an expressive melody emerging between whirling notes, finally ending with the melody in its pure form played as harmonics.
- 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:
- 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).
- Simultaneous Layers: The use of multiple independent musical layers, which has been a primary element of the music since 2000.
- 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).
- The technique synthesizes several methods developed across earlier works:
- The work is dedicated to Copenhagen Guitar Trio.

In Danish
- Resonance (2015)
- Guitartrio
- Startende med et langt accelerando udvikler Resonance sig fra en repetitiv sats til et hurtigt, rytmisk stykke med en melodi, der træder frem mellem hvirvlende noder, for til sidst at ende med melodien i ren form spillet som flageoletter.
- 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.
- Værket er dedikeret til Copenhagen Guitar Trio.
- Martin Lohse 2015
