about
Munchsonaten was commissioned by the Faust Quartet, who gave it its world premiere at the Munch Museum in 2013 during the Oslo Chamber Music Festival. The Faust Quartet commissioned four string quartets from Norwegian composers, and a picture by Munch was assigned to each composer to serve as an inspiration. Mikalsen was given the iconic work The Scream as his point of departure.
The sonata was composed as an attempt to reflect nature and its sounds, an internal scream, and anxiety when confronting the overwhelming aspects of the essence of nature. It was arranged for chamber orchestra in 2016 on commission from Lars-Erik ter Jung and the Telemark Chamber Orchestra, and this version had its world premiere the following year.
