Four Latin motets (1991) for mixed choir SSATB (SSA) by Per NørgÃ¥rd. Edited by Ivan Hansen. 1 Ne obsurdescas mihi (SSA/SAT) 2 Ad te Domine clamabo (SSATB) 3 Quam dilecta tabernacula tua (SSA/SAT) 4 Exultavit in Deum (SSATB) Programme note All four motets are based on the first motets´ simple pentatonic initial motif. Like the polarities of the hymn texts between lamentation and jubilation the motif appears in various disguises from a gloomy Japanese (death-) mode (first and second motet) to the lighter celebratory forms inthe familiar Chinese pentatonic scale and the Indonesian “pelog” scale (third and fourth motet). The mood-creating scales weave (like the text sections) in and out of each other ; just a few changes in notes change grief to joy from idyll to catastrophe. The latin version of the motets (originally with Danish text 1991) was made in 1998 by Per NørgÃ¥rd and Ivan Hansen. Ivan Hansen
