Programme Note
Min Trompetkoncert er i tre satser. Den første sats er legende – den dæmpede trompet kravler ud og ind mellem orkesterets løbende melodier og levende støjflader. Mod slutningen af satsen når trompeten frem til noget, der kunne lyde som en kadence – og så alligevel: Trompeten får aldrig lov til at være helt alene og bliver til allersidst opslugt af orkesteret.
Den anden sats udspiller sig i et barkarole-lignende univers (Min evige drøm om Venezia); men tikkende ure trænger sig på, og det drømmende ledes direkte over i sidste sats: En hakkende finale, hvor trompeten til sidst endelig slipper fri; men da er koncerten faktisk færdig.
Trompetkoncerten er skrevet til Tine Thing Helseth og hendes unikke, behændige og virtuose trompet og er samtidig tilegnet mine to døtre.

My Trumpet Concerto is in three movements. The first movement is playful – the muted trumpet crawling in and out of the orchestra’s running melodies and layering noise textures. By the end of the movement, the trumpet embarks on a cadenza-like passage but the orchestra never leaves it alone and in the end engulfs it completely.
The second movement inhabits a barcarole-like universe (my eternal dream about Venice); but the sound of ticking clocks is brought to the fore and the dreamy mode leads unto the final movement: it is a staggering finale in which the trumpet at last escapes; however, by this time, the concerto is in fact over.
The trumpet concerto is written for Tine Thing Helseth and her unique, virtuosic handling of the instrument. Furthermore, the work is dedicated to my two daughters.
