Programme Note
Organist Eva Feldbæk had been asking me for a long time to write for the organ without the use of iron blocks, extra stopping assistance etc. ... unusual difficulties that belonged to my earlier organ music. I set myself the task of writing a "handier" kind of music for the organ. Once I had finished STILL. LEBEN, I didn't think I had achieved what I was looking for. True, the two movements did not involve odd things, but "handy" isn't really the word for them either. So I wrote the three movements in COUNTERMOVE to tidy up even more. And since, I didn't think that was enough either, I wrote the really simple pieces under the title IN TRIPLUM.
The three series (eight pieces in all 2+3+3) sound very different, but they all take their point of departure from the nature and tonal resources of the organ. Everywhere there is a polyrhythm or hierarchical layering, polychromaticism, diatonics and melody (the last of these only sparingly and in some of the movements).
