Time of Sorrow (2012)
fl (afl, bfl), elec

Time of Sorrow is a musical and meditative journey in sixteen parts for flute and live-triggered orchestral samples. The work is constructed from musical material from several of the composer’s earlier works, combined and reshaped into this expansive cycle.

The structure of the work is as follows:

​
The flute parts I, III, and V also constitute the independent work Around (2011). In these sections, the flutist changes instruments – moving from bass flute to alto flute and finally concert flute – and performs in a rhythmic canon with electronic delays.

Mobile
A musical technique where different layers of music in individual tempos, metrics, and musical styles are combined in a simple pattern of chords, which slowly modulate through all the keys in a never-ending sequence, creating music with no or very few dissonances.

Time of Sorrow er en musikalsk og meditativ rejse i seksten dele for fløjte og live-triggered orkestersamples. Værket består af musikalsk materiale fra mange af komponistens ældre værker, der er kombineret og bearbejdet ind i denne omfattende cyklus.

Værkets struktur er som følger:

​
Fløjte-delene I, III og V udgør ligeledes det selvstændige værk Around (2011). I disse satser skifter fløjtenisten instrument – fra basfløjte til altfløjte og til sidst tværfløjte – og spiller i en rytmisk kanon med elektroniske delays.

Mobile
En teknik, hvor forskellige lag af musik i hver deres tempo, metrik og musikalske stil kombineres i et simpelt mønster af akkorder, som langsomt modulerer igennem alle tonearter i en uendelig sekvens, hvilket skaber en musik med ingen eller ganske få dissonanser.
