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.

The following 15 minutes are more insistent and decidedly percussion-based Afro-Cuban whereas the third quarter of A Light Hour moves in the
