Program note

In English

Til Ofelia (2016)

Solo [Instrument]

Til Ofelia (To Ofelia) was composed for my daughter, Ofelia.

The work evokes a fluid sense of time over a repeating chordal pattern, which gradually develops into a more driving second section with intersecting patterns and an insistent rhythm, eventually concluding with a brief return of the opening theme. Heartfelt, contemplative, and outgoing, the work is unified by musical material that guides the listener through a range of expressive landscapes.

Duration: app. 5:30 - 6 min

Til Ofelia (2016)

Solo [Instrument]

Til Ofelia er skrevet til min datter, Ofelia.

Værket rummer en flydende fornemmelse af tid over et gentaget akkordmønster, som gradvist udvikler sig til en mere fremadskridende anden del med krydsende mønstre og en indtrængende rytme, der afslutter med en kort genkomst af det indledende tema. Værket er både inderligt, eftertænksomt og udadvendt, bundet sammen af et musikalsk materiale, der fører lytteren gennem en række udtryksfulde landskaber.

Varighed: ca. 5:30 - 6 min
