Nordenlyd i Aalborg
Vokalensemblet Nordenlyd synger 10. oktober kl. 19.30 Komvest-værker og anden kormusik i Skalborg Kirke i Aalborg. Her opfører de bl.a. motetterne “Hvad er et menneske?”, “Gak under Jesu Kors at stå” og “Jeg vil prise dig, Herre” af Christian Hildebrandt.
Koncerten er en del af Musik & Kunst – Kirkemusikfestival i Aalborg.
Et frugtbart samarbejde mellem kirkerne i Aalborg har resulteret i efterhånden adskillige kirkemusikfestivaler, senest i 2001 (Kormusikfestival), 2003 (Ny kirkemusik), i 2006 (Musik fra 10 lande) og i 2008 (Salmesangens år).

Sommer, sol og Nordenlyd. Smid hvad du har i hænderne, tag ud i den danske sommer og nyd den indhyllet i dansk og engelsk musik sunget af Vokalensemblet Nordenlyd. Lad de lune aftener akkompagneres af Schierbeck, Schultz, Hildebrandt og Weelkes i en venlig og intim landsbykirke.

Vokalensemblet Nordenlyd er et ungt, professionelt nordjysk ensemble bestående af fem sangere ledet af Sigrid Damsager Frandsen. Ud over de vidunderlige engelske madrigaler, I skal høre ved koncerten, er det det danske repertoire, der ligger ensemblet på sinde, når duftene og farverne bader vort smukke land. Siden Vokalensemblet Nordenlyds debut ved en rost og velbesøgt koncert i Ansgars Kirken marts 2009 har Nordenlyd bl.a. haft et frugtbart samarbejde med Vesterbro Komponistforening “Komvest”, hvor ensemblet blev indbudt til, ved en koncertrække i det københavnske, at opføre musik af yngre danske komponister. Nogle af disse nye kompositioner kan opleves ved voresommerkoncerter hånd i hånd med elskede danske højsommersange.
Vuggeviser og kosmisk ambient på Vesterbro
Jeg er her til aften for første gang nogensinde taget hjem fra Kristkirken med kroppen fuld af Oort Cloud af Jexper Holmen. En på én gang storslået og ekstremt nærværende vision om verdensbetingelserne.
Musikken gav mig en følelse af at få plads i et stort rum, samtidig med at den fyldte sig selv ud, tæt vævet i et skønt og næsten endnu ukendt mønster.
Hele koncerten var som en tresatset kosmisk intimsymfoni med underfundigt-skræmmende “Lullabies” som førstesats, hårrejsende “Eris” som andensats (fænomenalt spillet af Frode Haltli), og kulminerende i den himmelsk lange “Oort Cloud”.
Den traditionelt virkelighedsflygtende december fik her et tiltrængt skud skinbarlig virkelighed. Tak for det!

Non sibi sed omnibus
My choral composition featuring the poem “Non sibi sed omnibus” (2006) by Mark Hillman has been performed in St. Stefan’s Church, Copenhagen N, at May 21 at the Komvest Choral Music concert with the choir Ensemble Vest and conductor Uffe Most. The concert will be held again on sunday May 24 in Kritskirken (the Christ Church), Copenhagen V.
“Non sibi sed omnibus” is a piece which has been conceived over a long period of time. The oldest part of it came to birth in 1991 serving the single word “Amen”.
In 1995 another unfinished fragment ended in my drawer. This was a part of the “Credo” from Roman Mass.
At last in 2000 the two early segments found a place as part of a setting to the Paulian 2nd Epistle to the Corinthians: “Hymn to Love”.
I never found my selv satisfied with this composition – until the summer 2006 when I received this overwhelming little poem from my English fellow vocalist and friend Mark Hillman (whom I actually had become aquainted with through MySpace in early 2006).
In this text my composition finally found it’s home.
A completely new piece grew up from the old parts and was finished in the summer 2007.
Now two years later after having been taken off the programme two times at earlier concert projects and after my lack of success finding financial support to having this rather complicated piece performed by a professional vocal ensemble – it sounds before the audience.
“Non sibi sed omibus” is my second composition serving a text by Mark Hillman. There will be more to come.

Welcome to The Magnificat Time
What is Magnificat? I seek to give an answer in a choral composition which contributes to the great tradition of Magnificat Settings. So far I have completed the first two parts of my Magnificat, which I have subtitled “Magnificat Fragmente”.
The Virgin Mary listened to the Angel Gabriel with joy and fear, when he told her the news about the new King she had been chosen by God to be mother for. This Magnificat setting from 2007 seeks to express the difficult mixture of feelings which follow the entrance in life of a new human being. Happiness, fear, loving care, doubt, gladness, anger and powerlessness. The thought behind this work is, that when a newborn life comes into the world the old life will be fragmented.
The Magnificat I was first performed by Ensemble Vest at Komvest Kormusik 2003 in Kristkirken, CPH
The Magnificat II was first performed by Chamber Choir Hymnia at Komvest Kormusik 2007 in Round Tower, CPH
