BOOK OF PRAYERS
Oratorio (2019)
​For choir, speaker and sinfonietta
​Duration: ca. 50'
'Book of Prayers' is a reflection on and tribute to protest, but also about the potential pitfalls of popular movements. The oratorio is based on political slogans from demonstrations in the streets of DDR cities in 1989 collected and archived by Stasi agents. These fragments are combined with and juxtaposed to slogans of the right wing protests in the same streets thirty years later as well as religious texts on praying by a.o. Luther.
​COUNTRY
Concerto for cello and chamber orchestra (2019)
​For singing solo cellist, chamber orchestra and sample playback
​Duration: ca. 27'
‘Country’ is a cello concert in the shape of a song cycle. The soloist plays the cello as a guitar and sings while playing. The piece is based on the american country-folk tradition which to a large extend is based  on music brought with the immigrants from Europe. ‘Country’ is an ambiguous reflection on belonging and authenticity. The songs are shaped as duets between the soloist and an enigmatic voice (sampler) - the earth, nature, a loved one, the country.

​For piano solo (2019)
​Duration: ca. 45'

ARCHIVE OF EMOTIONS AND EXPERIENCES 2 (Justice)
​For piano solo (2019)
​Duration: ca. 45'
Archive of Emotions and Experiences I & II are pieces for solo piano with optional staging. The pianist is an oracle-like figure from the future who records and archives human emotions and experiences before they are gone and it is too late. His or her only language and tool is the piano. The first book is subtitled Birds, the second book Justice.

CIVILIZATIONS
National Romantic Symphony (2017)
​For small orchestra, Greenlandic choir, speaker and sample playback
​Duration: ca. 23'
‘Civilizations’, subtitled National Romantic Symphony, is a critical response to Danish arrogance and reluctance to acknowledge and sufficiently redeem our colonial past - and present. A fictive caricature of a eurocentric musicologist talks about the difference between civilized an uncivilized music and the orchestra adds ‘civilized’ musical elements in the language of nineteenth century orchestral music to historical samples.
