Yet another chance to hear Kammerkoret Carmina conducted by Kasper Beck Hemmingsen performing my choral piece Ode til tiden (Ode to the Time) in concert November 1 at Johannes Døbers Kirke in Valby, Copenhagen.
This choral composition was comitted by the chamber choir Aventura in 1999 as part of a millenium concert. As I thought it would be great to have a dedicated text to the composition I asked my friend and fellow composer and poet Kasper Nefer Olsen to write a poem for the purpose.
One week later Kasper returned to me with a completely new poem “Ode to the time which comes and dances” (Ode til tiden som kommer og danser), based on the ancient Sapphic Stanza. I brought the text with me to a small Finnish island, where I composed the choral piece at an old piano.
