In Autumn (2014)
Soprano/Alto saxophone, violin, sopranos, and 3 electric pianos

Autumn is beautiful in its decay and a clear reminder that everything goes in circles; we cannot have life without death, growth without decay, and precisely this realization is essential to being present in life.

In Autumn is structured by small harmonic blocks that move along in an eternal and unchangeable progression, upon which organic melodies and small motifs unfold. The music is slow, almost meditative, with a few larger outbursts along the way.

The work is dedicated to Henriette Jensen and students from the talent line at Rebild Kulturskole.

Duration app. 10 min

In Danish

In Autumn (2014)
Sopran/Altsaxofon, violin, sopraner og 3 el-klaverer

Efteråret er smukt i sit forfald og en tydelig påmindelse om, at alt går rundt i cirkler – vi kan ikke have liv uden død, vækst uden forfald, og netop denne erkendelse er essentiel for at kunne være tilstede i tilværelsen.

In Autumn er i sin indre struktur bygget op af små harmoniske blokke, der bevæger sig afsted i et evigt og uforanderligt forløb, hvorpå organiske melodier og små motiver folder sig ud. Musikken er langsom, næsten meditativ, med et par større udbrud undervejs.

Værket er skrevet til Henriette Jensen og musikskoleelever fra talentlinjen i Rebild Kulturskole.

Varighed ca. 10 min

  • LOHSE: Collage de Temps; 5 Momenti Mobile; Moto Immoto
    (Nathan Faro - American Record Guide Nov/Dec 2018)
    ... It takes considerable willpower not to rewind to the beginning when it finishes...
    ... Like the rest of Lohse’s works on the album, it is a delight.

  • MusicWeb International (2018)
    (Richard Hanlon - MusicWeb International)
    ... Lohse has given this (work) the lovely title Moto Immoto (Motionless motion), an apt oxymoron that utterly encapsulates this short, heartfelt piece...
    ... it certainly affected this reviewer in those terms - and easily bears repeated listening. It is revealing that this ten-minute panel lasts not a moment too long.

  • Myriader af detaljer og intense klange
    (Henrik Friis - Politiken, kultur)
    The mobiles are breathlessly intense as they alternate between mournful and optimistic with equal parts chain dance and black melancholy.
