Last Request
for percussion solo (16')
1986
Last Request was composed in 1986 for the Danish percussionist Gert
Sørensen. The work, which is influenced by the violent situation
in South Africa at the time, is in three movements: Drums of Freedom,
Voices and Last Request. In the second movement a synthesizer is used
as the only instrument, while the outer movements use only acoustic
percussion instruments. The work has been is among the repertoire of
several percussionists and was among the required works for performance
at the Bent Lyloff International Percussion Competition in 1996.
