KOMPONISTENS FORORD

64

Det er meningen at trompeterne placeres “antifonalt” over for hinanden med publikum mellem sig, på en sådan måde, at der enten er en trompetist foran publikum og en bag ved dem, eller en til højre og en til venstre for dem. Normalt bør 1. trompetisten stå nær organisten for bedst mulig kontakt. Ved uropførelsen var afstanden mellem trompeterne over 30 meter, men værket er skrevet således at trompetisterne om nødvendigt kan stå med endnu større afstand, så længe de kan se hinanden.

Med det sagt står det musikerne frit for at eksperimentere med andre opstillinger. Det kan også forsvares, at trompeterne står sammen, dog kun i tilfælde, hvor en antifonal opstilling ikke er mulig eller hensigtsmæssig af praktiske eller musikalske årsager.

Værket er baseret på H.A. Brorsons salme “Den yndigste rose er funden”. Melodien er af en ukendt komponist og blev første gang udgivet af Joseph Klug i 1542. Uropførelsen af DEN YNDIGSTE ROSE fandt sted i Sankt Pauls kirke i København i anledning af kirkens 140-års jubilæum i 2017.

De angivne registreringer i orgelstemmen skal betragtes som rent vejledende, og det står organisten frit for, helt eller delvist at se bort fra dem for efter egen fortolkning at tilpasse registreringerne til det givne instrument og rum og samspillet med trompetisterne. Efter takt 62 er der slet ikke angivet flere registreringsforslag i noden men kun dynamik-angivelser (bortset fra en pedalkobling i takt 113). Det betyder naturligvis ikke, at der ikke skal ændres i registreringen, men blot at det herefter alene er op til organisten at vælge passende registreringsskift.

COMPOSER’S PREFACE The work is based on Hans Adolph Brorson’s hymn “Now Found Is The Fairest of Roses”. The melody is by an unknown composer and was first published by Joseph Klug in 1542. The first performance of THE FAIREST OF ROSES took place in Saint Pauls’s Church in Copenhagen on the occasion of the 140th anniversary of the church in 2017.

It is the intention that the trumpets are placed ”antiphonally” opposite each other with the audience between them, in such a way that there is either one trumpeter in front of the audience and one behind them, or one to the right and one to the left of them. Normally, the 1st trumpeter should be standing close to the organist so that they have the best possible contact. At the first performance, the distance between the trumpeters was more than 30 meters, but the work is composed in such a way that the trumpeters, if necessary, can stand even farther apart from each other, as long as they can see each other.

With this in mind, the musicians are free to experiment with different layouts. It might also be acceptable to have the trumpeters standing next to each other, albeit only in such instances where an antiphonal layout is not possible or appropriate for practical or musical reasons.

The registration markings in the organ part should only be considered as guiding, and organists are free to disregard these in whole or in part, in order to adapt the registrations to the instrument and the venue in question and to the interplay with the trumpeters, according to the organists’ own interpretation. After bar 62, there are no more registration suggestions in the score, but only dynamic markings (except for a pedal coupling in bar 113). This does not mean, of course, that there should be no more registration changes, but only that from this point it is solely up to the organist to choose appropriate registration changes.
