Concertino for kammerensemble (1999)
(Concertino for Chamber Ensemble)- Edition Wilhelm Hansen Copenhagen (World)
Programme Note
Concertino for chamber ensemble was composed in May 1999 for the Esbjerg Ensemble to whom it is also dedicated. The two groups of the ensemble - winds and strings - meet each other in a concertating play along with and against each other - with the drums in the middle to control the battle. The piece - which is in one movement - is subject to the unity of time in the sense that it is urged by a rhythmic motor, which is ticking from beginning to end. A pulse and a tempo. The composition borrows traits of the classic sonata form - and it is own way it tries to - during the continuous conversation of the instruments - to blow life, drama and pleasure in a rhythmic structure - and get the music moving.
