Preface / Programme Note
Some years ago I was asked by the Faroese ensemble Aldubáran to make some duets for the woodwinds within the ensemble. Then the idea came to me to write a Suite with the name “Andalag” in 11 movements. 8 movements are duets and are approximately 4 min. long. 2 movements are quartets and are approximately 8 min. long, and 1 movement is an octet wich is approximately 16 min. long. The faroese word “Andalag” has a multilayered meaning. The first half of the word is “ Anda” and means to breathe or spirit, and the second half of the word “Lag” means melodi, mood or layer. In this Suite I use two small ideas. One idea is in a sort of major mood and the other in a sort of minor mood.
When the whole Suite or the Octet is played, the musicians should be placed from the right side: bn., hrn., cl., fl., fl., cl., hrn., bn. “Andalag #5” and “#7” should be divided between the two quartets. When the duets are performed, the two musicians step 2 meters forward to perform.
Total Duration approx. 66 min.

Performance Notes
• Glissandi should start immediately.
• Changes from tone to almost toneless to toneless should be performed very gradually.
• Playing into the flutes (t-s-f) should be very percussive.
