Palle Mikkelborg's most recent work, "The Voice of Silence", was written for the Danish Radio Jazz
Orchestra and is an almost 75-minute long glorious homage to the Louisiana Museum in Northern Zealand (Denmark) and its creator, Knud W. Jensen. Mr Jensen has now passed away, but he was present
at the first performance of the work at the museum in Humlebæk in January 2000.It's not jazz, it's not "contemporary compositions", it's not techno or new age. It's simply music
having as its source Mikkelborg's indomitable fascination with human pictures, desires and spirit, and which - in spite of the composer's lack of musical will - has been arranged by an
orchestrator beyond compare for the DRJO's numerous instrument combinations. |
