Engravings for Large Ensemble: i) Chalcography ii) Pantograph / Etching iii) Xylography / Lithography Engravings was composed for the Ensemble Modern as part of the 2013 International Ensemble Modern Academy and it is dedicated in admiration to this iconic group of soloists. Whilst many art forms largely depend on space, music has a thrilling relationship with time. Time serves as a canvas for composers, and compositions can in many ways also be described as sculpted time. Ancient Greeks had two words for time, Chronos (time in the traditional sense) and Kairos (the opportune moment). The former is quantitative and the latter, qualitative. This distinction is very important as welive our lives in chronos but experience most of the important events of our lives in kairos. For me, the art of music composition highlights this relationship; whereas music cannot exist without chronos, it is the kairos that makes it worthwhile—the pursuit of supreme moments. As an art form, engraving is very lengthy and painstakingly process-driven, not unlike composing, and techniques, instruments and types of engraving directly inspired this three-movement composition. At times, the inspiration lies in the engraved artefact itself. At others, I am interested in the technical process or the instruments utilized. Methods of production depend on the materials used: Chalcography, xylography and lithography are engravings on copper, wood and stone, respectively, and these are represented both literally and conceptually by the ensemble, either in colour or scope. Pantograph is an engraving machine based on parallelograms where the movement of one point in tracing an image is produced identically in other points, and etching refers to the method of making prints from a metal plate. Whilst beauty is found in the finished engraving, there are also moments of beauty in the process of creation itself. Therefore, Engravings uses this art form to explore both the uniqueness of these concepts but also how they merge during the creative process.

Per Norgard FOR A CHANGEThe title 'For a Change' refers to the Chinese 'Book of Changes' ('I Ching'), which has been consulted in situations of choice for millenia. In the I Ching, 64 states of being determine the full cycle of the phases of life. From these I selected four, the sequence of which progresses from a situation from which there is apparently no solution, to a (temporary) relief.In the first movement 'Thunder repeated, the Image of Shock', a vicious circle of claustrophobic, closed circuits is represented by the tom-tom part. This is followed by tam-tams and wood sounds, but returns full-circle to the tom-toms.The second movement 'The taming Power of the small' has its origins in the violence of the first movement, but this time lets it resolve in a long glide upwards which stars with voice sounds 'borrowed' from the Beatles' 'Revolution no 9' which are then transmitted to the other instruments.The third movement is 'The Gentle, The Penetrating' in which lyrical poetry dominates with gentle bell-like sounds and delicate tunes. Finally the sovereign, many-layered world of rhythm triumphs in the fourth movement: 'Towards Completion. Fire over Water', the main movement of the work.'For a Change' was premiered on 27.2. 1983 with the Sealand Symphony Orchestra conducted by Tamas Veto. Soloist was Gert Mortensen whom the work is dedicated.

Dedicated to the luminary Steve Cowan, …empty mind, open heart… is a four-movement suite that centers around the intervals of a fifth and a tritone. Each movement is inspired by a quote from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu. The opening movement is a meditation. The aleatoric rhythms and pacing of the notes are guided by the breathing of the performer, according to specific instructions in the score. Out of that atmosphere emerges a fluid, serene series of arpeggios in irregular rhythms in the second movement. Each new chord changes only one or two notes at a time in a gradual evolution over time. The third movement is a study in rhythm, sometimes dizzying. And the piece ends with a heartfelt, mostly quiet soliloquy.

Dédiée à la sommité Steve Cowan, … esprit vide, cœur ouvert… est une suite en quatre mouvements centrée sur les intervalles d'une quinte et d'un triton. Chaque mouvement est inspiré d'une citation du Tao Te Ching de Lao Tseu. Le mouvement d’ouverture est une méditation. Les rythmes aléatoires et le rythme des notes sont guidés par la respiration de l'interprète, selon des instructions spécifiques de la partition. De cette atmosphère émerge une série d’arpèges fluides et sereins aux rythmes irréguliers dans le deuxième mouvement. Chaque nouvel accord ne change qu'une ou deux notes à la fois selon une évolution progressive dans le temps. Le troisième mouvement est une étude du rythme, parfois vertigineuse. Et la pièce se termine par un monologue sincère, plutôt calme.
