On June 14, my new suite for brass ensemble and percussion, The Home of My Heart (Danish: Mit hjertes hjem), received its world premiere in the abbey church of Saint-Yved de Braine in France.
The work was commissioned by Slesvigske Musikkorps on behalf of the South Jutland municipalities for the centennial jubilee of the Danish cemetery in Braine, which has recently been included on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
I travelled to France to attend the premiere, and it was a great experience. The musicians of Slesvigske Musikkorps, conducted by Magnus Larsson, delivered a beautiful and dedicated performance of the suite, which consists of three movements.
Hearing my music performed in Saint-Yved de Braine, surrounded by such history, was a special and moving experience. I am very grateful to everyone involved in making this premiere happen.
The score and parts for Suite for Brass Ensemble ‘The Home of My Heart’ are available in the webshop.
