For flute english horn clarinet bassoon horn trumpet 2 percussionists (brake drum 3 crotales snare drum 3 tom-toms vibraphone) piano violin viola cello and doublebass. Precession was composed for the 1987 NewMusic Los Angeles Festival. The term 'precession' is used here both in its sense of a processional but more especially in its astronomical sense of a cyclical process that recurs according to a slowly changing pattern. Forexample the opening of the work involves the juxtaposition of a melodic phrase that is gradually shortened with an accompanimental gesture that increases in length. Other musical devices used are intended to reinforce this senseof independent yet related cycles among them the application of the principles of change-ringing to aspects of the orchestration.

Joseph Addison is not particularly well known; he was English a classical scholar essayist poet and politician but one of his hymns was used by Benjamin Britten. in his setting of a Thomas Tallis canon.The hymn is singularly beautiful and being a composer always inspired by extramusical stimuli such as poems nature paintings I was immediately convinced when I carne across the Addison hymn that here was exactly what I wanted to use as my major source of inspiration for this piece commissioned by and written for The Berlin Philharmonic. I don't refer to the hymn in its entirety but have chosen the following 3 excerpts all acting as mottos for the first three sections of the piece thus turning the piece into a straightforward tonepoem in the classical

A Light Hour 2008-Set of parts for Per Nørgård's En Lys Time / A Light Hour (2008-09) for a variable Percussion Ensemble (min. 10 players). In A Light Hour everything - rhythms and motifs – is based on Nørgård´s special infinity series. Score: WH30964 Programme note A Light Hour is for ‘any number of percussion musicians’ (but a minimum of ten). The duration is about 60 minutes. The instrumentation is in principle open as long as percussion is used within the three types specified in the score: skin metal and wood. Each musicianuses two sound sources with two different sounds one of which is bright (or light) and the other dark. Certain passages also include tuned percussion instruments – vibraphone xylophone marimba gamelan glockenspiel steel drums crotales and the like. The work integrates and combines a number of rhythms that Nørgård has used in percussion works since the 1970s for example in Early Spring Dance (for choir and percussion) and percussion works like I Ching Easy Beats Whirls Zigzag Nemo Dynamo and Echo Zone I-II-III. Special “tone-feasts” (the composer’s term) – followed by a rest – are an recognizable melodic feature of the work.: the first minute end with a short tone-feast (and a rest) the first four minutes end with a tone-feast lasting a minute (and a rest) the first quarter of an hour ends with a tone-feast of four minutes (and a rest) – and the work ends with a tone-feast lasting quarter of an hour (and a rest when the work is over ...). The first 15 minutes have a bright light character throughout and alternate between rhythms and melodic play. The following 15 minutes are more insistent and decidedly percussion-based Afro-Cuban whereas the third quarter of A Light Hour moves in the
