Intrada (2005)

The history behind my two organ pieces ‘Intrada’ (2005) and ‘Litanie’ (2002) are linked with my own life. Therefore, they are quite personal and sound different compared to the rest of my oeuvre. They are both intended as ceremonial works, but can of course be performed successfully in other circumstances as well. Litanie was written in memory of my grandmother, and was played at her funeral ceremony. Intrada was written for my own wedding. Even though the two pieces reflect different moods, Litanie with its melancholy tone and Intrada with its more festive sounding phrases and progressions, they are to an extent built from the same musical material.
