Programme Note
MUSAIC (1969) - for brass ensemble and electronics
Among my compositions for brass band three (“Backlight”, “Massifs” - crystals - cascades”, “Musaic”) all belong to a three-dimensional space. Thus “Massifs - crystals - cascades” was proclaimed from a mountainside towards the audience in the Norwegian town Tromsø, and “Backlight” to the special room of the new concert hall at The Music Conservatory of Jutland, Denmark.
“Musaic” was composed in 1969 for the inauguration of Edition Wilhelm Hansen’s new branch in Århus, Jutland. Short movements for brass were intermittently heard on the street.
