Andalag # 11-
Duo for Alto Flute and
Bassoon. Part of Andalag
- Suite in 11 movements.
Programme note: Some
years ago I was asked by
the Faroese ensemble
Aldubaran to compose
duets for the woodwinds
within the ensemble. The
idea then came to me to
write a Suite with the
name Andalag in 11
movements. 8 movements
are duets and are
approximately 4 min.
long. 2 movements are
quartets and are
approximately 8 min.
long, and 1 movement is
an octet which is
approximately 16 min.
long. In other words, the
Suite will last
approximately 60 min. The
(octet) instrumentation
is 2 flutes, 2 clarinets,
2 horns and 2 bassoons.
The Faroese word andalag
has a multilayerd
meaning. The first half
of the word is anda and
means to breath or
spirit, and the second
half of the word lag
means melodi, mood or
layer. I use two small
ideas in this Suite. One
idea is in a sort of
major mood and the other
in a sort of minor mood.
