Program Notes
For "Summercycle" I was inspired by Denmarks long tradition of nature poetry. I collected 6 poems by danish authors and wrote a tiny piece for each, and then the idea was to combine them into one movement (a song cycle if you will). The result is a recollection of memories from different times and different places, that seems to defy rationality and never stays the same for very long. As I wrote in the performance notes: "Each year with the passing of summer, we are reminded of the death that awaits us, but also of the rebirth soon to follow"
Recording Notes
An old version of this work was performed by Sankt Annæ Symphony Orchestra in Tivoli Concert Hall in may 2024, but I don't have a quality recording, so this is just a Musescore 4 playback.
