Og

Programme Note: The work was composed for the 200th birthday of Søren Kierkegaard in 2013. Kierkegaard’s special interest in the music of Mozart – in particular the opera Don Juan – is reflected in the music of OG. The title refers to S.K’s book entitled Enten Eller (Either Or), a title I initially wanted to comment on by using for my title And Also (or: Both .....And / As Well As) – but eventually I found that too “corny” - and all that remained was the word OG (“and”). The word “og” is also used in mathemathics, in addition, which is one of the principles used in the composition. Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen
