2. Medstrømme
(Cocurrent)
The piano
pieces (Two Mediterranean
meditations) was inspired
by a little town,
Isternia, in the Greek
island Tinos. During a
stay there I was captured
by the timeless peace
that emitted from the
shimmering white
sculptured steps, and by
the sounds in the narrow
streets, creating an
atmosphere of balanced
activity on the
background of a
meditative silence. The
pianopieces are related
to the work
“Isternia”
(1979, for cimbalon solo,
later rewritten for other
instruments); the music
seems to possess a
certain timeless or
rather
´genre-less´
character; this is
effected through the use
of archetypal melodies
and meters changed in a
rather
´cubistic´
way. In this respect the
work is related to my
“Sonora” (for
flute and harp) and the
duet
“Medstrøms
og
modstrøms”
(“Cocurrent &
countercurrent”)&nb
