Program Note

English

I am deeply fascinated by the energy and musical expression found in Baroque music. The joie de vivre and playful lightness of Vivaldi’s concertos served as a major inspiration for this work, alongside Baroque music’s profound ability to reach an inner core of presence, expressing deep passion and connecting us to something greater than ourselves.

The concerto is in three movements, with the two outer movements surrounding a slightly longer slow movement in the middle. Themes, figures, and harmonic progressions recur across the three movements, while the soloist constantly alternates between being shifted in time and playing in synchronization with the orchestra.

The work was commissioned by PIF Castelfidardo 2024 and is dedicated to Antonio Spaccarotella and PIF Castelfidardo.

Jeg er dybt fascineret af energien og det musikalske udtryk i barokmusikken. Livsglæden og den legende lethed i Vivaldis koncerter har været en stor inspiration i denne koncert, men også barokmusikkens utrolige evne til at nå ind til en indre kerne af at være til stede, udtrykke en dyb inderlighed og forbinde os til noget der er større end os selv.

Koncerten er i tre satser, hvor de to ydersatser omkranser en lidt længere, langsom sats i midten. Temaer, figurer og harmoniske forløb går på tværs af de tre satser, og solisten veksler hele tiden mellem at være tidsmæssigt forskudt og spille synkront med orkesteret.

Koncerten er bestilt af PIF Castelfidardo 2024 og dedikeret til Antonio Spaccarotella og PIF Castelfidardo.
