All In One for 3 String Quartets was composed by Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen in 2013 (String Quartet No.12,13 and 14 played simultaneously).


Gudmundsen-Holmgreen has written a collection of three new string quartets: String Quartet no. 12, ‘Each in Each’; String Quartet no. 13, ‘Mutual Ordering’, and String Quartet no. 14, ‘Well-Tuned Sounds’. Each quartet can be played on its own; they can also played simultaneously in any combination. When all three quartets are played together, as they are tonight, the combined work is titled All in One. About this collection, Gudmundsen-Holmgreenwrites:


'Some years ago Kronos and the vocal group Theatre of Voices performed three new pieces, which I had written for the two groups: one for Theatre of Voices (Green), and two for Kronos (New Ground and No Ground). They were played and sung by each group independently – but also both groups together concurrently, on top of each other, as a final gesture. The combined pieces were called New Ground Green and No Ground Green.


'David liked the idea (and the result) of pairs of quartets that could be played both independently and simultaneously, and asked me if the vocal quartet could be transformed into a string quartet. It could not. He then asked me to repeat the whole set-up with a new pair of quartets, adding also some percussion instruments, as was the case with Green for Theatre of Voices. Of course this was tempting. Furthermore David asked me to make one of the two new quartets a little easier to play.
'I began to work. The Kronos part of the pair of quartets turned out to be tough to play, as David puts it. Unfortunately the ‘easier’ one was tough to play also! So I had to write one more, which was then a little easier still (but still not easy).
'The three new works can be played separately and on top of each other in many different combinations, resulting in different kinds of.

These seven pieces can be performed as a complete work, as they appear in the score. They can also be performed as free-standing pieces. Total duration 20 minutes. These seven piano pieces were written as an attempt to go into the tradition of romantic and impressionist character pieces, like Grieg's Lyrical Pieces or Debussy's Preludes: small, relatively simple pieces with a motto, and usually with one prevailing sentiment, like a musical short story.

Joker is a complex Piano solo, expertly composed by Anders Brodsgaard in 1990. Joker was inspired by Keith Jarret 's Piano style, particularly as it unfolds in his famous concerts of solo improvisation. The title comes from the fact that a kind of 'joker effect' is built-in in the rhythmic play which disturbs the 'arithmetical problem' and forces the music to continue every time a four-layered polyrhythm is about to come out. The Danish composer began by writing rigorously structured pieces, inspired by the serial composers of the 50s. In his more recent pieces, Brodsgaard has been working with more fundamental musical phenomenon like tonality and pulse, still inspired by thepost-Pythagorean idea of a musical continuum between the musical parameters.

Work for Wind Quintet. Score available: KP00258 The composer writes: 'Madelein, for wind quintet, was composed in 1985. In the first movement, opposing textures are severed by a desperate clarinet, culminating in a contrasting slow chorale. The 2nd movement is fast and manic, polyphonic and polydynamic. In the last movement the horn plays a serenade whilst the other instruments echo both this and other themes from the preceding movements.'.
