Procession II

Procession II for small Orchestra was composed by Anders Brodsgaard in 1986. Programme note: The title Procession refers to the process going on throughout the piece where a two-part 'formula' (played by two groups of instruments) gradually 'turn inside out', as the short ornamental grace notes becomes long, and vice versa. The title also suggests the ritual in the experience of the imperceptible changes in the 25 transformations, the possibility of ignoring the 13 'events' that regularly interrupt the progressive procession. The piece is a rewriting of Procession for Two Clarinets and Vibraphone from 1979. Instr. :1. 1. 2. sx. 0/1. 1. 1. 0/3perc/pf/str(1. 1. 3. 2. 1)
