To be in life – three verses for my mother, by Halldis Moren Vesaas
When this project was presented to me, Halldis Moren Vesaas’ poem To be in life immediately leapt to mind. I encountered it several years ago, and since then I had been saving it for a suitable occasion. The combination of string instruments with the harpsichord and, importantly, folk songs created an acoustic space in which to explore the various layers of meaning of the text.
The music has been written specially for Terjungensemble and the folk singer Ingebjørg Lognvik Reinholdt. An important part of the process was to get to know her voice, and the music is inspired by folk song techniques and styles. Although the tonality may conjure up associations with Norwegian folk music, the voice ventures slightly outside the bounds of traditional folk song. The text is reworked by breaking it up and drawing it out, with the ensemble providing an accompaniment that is constantly changing. The work consists of four interconnected parts – a free and expressive introduction, followed by the three verses set to music, each in different ways.
