Programme Note
preSage was commissioned by Oslo Philharmonic, to be performed at a concert also containing Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. I have therefore decided to establish a vague, but hopefully perceivable link to Stravinsky, although the outright references are few and far between. From the short interlude The Sage, I have derived a simple two-note rhythm and a string harmonic chord. These two elements make the basis for the rhythmic and harmonic structures throughout the piece.
