< strong>Vintersalme-Musik< /strong> (1980) - Choral prelude for Organ. Orig. title: Vintersalme.

Programme note:

When in 1975 I had finished composing my 3rd Symphony (begun in 1973), I wrote three simple melodies for two psalm texts by Ole Sarvig “The Year” and “Choral Hymn”. One of these was later included in the Danish Hymnbook under the title “Året – Som året går” (The Year). 
These three “Sarvig tunes” were derived from the same material as the second movement of the symphony and could be harmonized together in several different temporelationships at the same time - like fractals. This inspired me to write several choral and instrumental works in the following decade based on these melodies: for instance “Frost Psalm”, “Winter Cantata”, “Cycles”, “Cantica” and this piece for organ, all coloured by the Nordic and mythic poem by Sarvig, the beginning of which goes: 

The passing year will pass its deep 
So shall our mind reach winter´s sleep. 
And as the tree stands leafles, bare, 
Is winter´s realms: our minds aware.

Programme note

When in 1975 I had finished composing my 3rd Symphony (begun in 1973), I wrote three simple melodies for two psalm texts by Ole Sarvig: “The Year” and “Choral Hymn”. These three tunes were derived from the same material as the second movement of the 3rd Symphony and could be harmonized together in several different tempo relationships at the same time - like fractals – which inspired me to write several choral and instrumental works in the following decade based onthese melodies: “Frost Psalm”, “Winter Cantata”, “Cantica” a.o. 
One of these ‘Sarvig melodies’ is now in the Danish Hymnbook, nr. 720, under the title 'Året'(The Year). 
Jordens vej for choir and organ was the basis of the work Korsalme (1982) for mixed choir and instruments (ad lib.).
