THE LABYRINTH (2018)
Dette stykket ble bestilt av Møvig og Sjøstrand skolemusikk til deres 50-års jubileum i 2017. Urfremføring fant sted i Kilden i Kristiansand, 17. november 2017, med dirigent Sofie E. Ringen.
Stykket handler om å være fanget i en labyrint - og kjempe for å finne veien ut!
I - A Myriad of Tunnels
II - Night in the Labyrinth
III - ?There has to be a way out!?
Spilletid: ca. 10 min
Til dirigenten:
Det er aktiv bruk av dynamikk i dette stykket og det må fokuseres på viktigheten av dette under innstudering. Det samme gjelder artikulasjon og intensitet. Stykket er bygget på en skala som har åtte toner og noteres som Bb-dur natura med tre løse fortegn. Det er kun disse åtte tonene som brukes igjennom hele stykket.
