Program note

In English

Smoke (2000)
Clarinet, violin, cello and piano
Blue grey smoke from burning wood
Smoke has some extraordinary qualities: When one is close to the point where the smoke emerges, the most incredible whirls are formed - beautiful and unpredictable - but as soon as you move away, the smoke takes on larger and larger shapes, until from a distance, it appears as cloud formations moving slowly into new forms.
Humans have an uncanny ability to smell smoke long before we see it. The subtitle refers to an afternoon in a summer house in Northwest Zealand, where I was deeply absorbed in composing when the scent of burnt wood reached me. Looking through the window, the world appeared in a bluish and greyish light; it was only when I went outside that I discovered this wondrous sight was created by smoke from a neighbor’s garden waste, rolling over the garden in ever-larger waves.
Duration app. 7 min

In Danish

Smoke (2000)
Klarinet, violin, cello og klaver
Blågrå røg fra brændende træ
Røg har nogle fantastiske egenskaber: Når man er helt tæt på det punkt, hvor røgen opstår, danner den de utroligste hvirvler - smukke og uforudsigelige - men så snart man bevæger sig væk, formes røgen i større og større figurer, indtil man på lang afstand ser den som skyformationer, der ganske langsomt bevæger sig og transformeres til nye former.
Vi mennesker har en utrolig evne til at dufte røg, længe før vi ser den. Undertitlen refererer til en eftermiddag i et sommerhus i Nordvestsjælland, hvor jeg sad dybt optaget af at komponere, da duften af brændt træ nåede mine sanser. Da jeg kiggede ud ad vinduet, så verdenen ud til at have et blåligt og gråligt skær, og det var først, da jeg kom udenfor, at jeg opdagede, at det forunderlige syn blev skabt af røg fra naboens haveaffald, der væltede ind over haven i større og større bølger.
Varighed ca. 7 min
