Kompositionen & Arrangements

Im Laufe der vergangenen Jahre sind eine Reihe von Kompositionen und Arrangements entstanden, von denen etliche zunächst vom norwegischen Verlag Cantando veröffentlicht wurden. Sie sind über diesen Link abrufbar: Cantando/Notebutiken

Mein bisher umfangreichstes Werk, das Deutsche Requiem für Chor a cappella, sowie geistliche und weltliche Werke sind beim Verlag Ferrimontana in Deutschland erschienen.

Zahlreiche neue geistliche Chorkompositionen wurden vom norwegischen Verlag Norsk veröffentlicht: Norsk

Zu verschiedenen Werken gibt es Partiturausschnitte und z.T. auch die Möglichkeit in Audiodateien hineinzuhören.

Bei Fragen oder Problemen bei Bestellungen können Sie mich gerne kontaktieren!

Stimmen von Chorleiter*innen

I like your choral music very much! I don't have my own choir at the moment, but I would immediately choose a piece which fits in the program. Your sense for sound, your colourful musical language with convicing connection to the harmonic structures, beautiful atmospheric moments and the smooth vocal lines are specially appealing and outstanding in your music. (Prof. Reiner Schuhenn, Germany)

"Fear no more" is absolutely stunning! (Justin Rubin, American composer and Professor of Music)

Congratulations for the „Deutsches Requiem“! Not only for the wonderfully sounding music, but also for the very beautiful texts! (Ilkka Kuusisto, Finnish composer)

Your music is lovely! For sure I will keep it in mind for future projects. (Kelly Galbraith, Canada)

When we rehearsed your Magnificat for the first time, we were totally smitten by it! (Norunn Giske, Norway)

Congratulations on your composition "O Nata Lux", which is fantastic! Wow, what an interpretation - I believe you have felt extremely happy with this interpretation. Bravo!

Beautiful harmonies, rhythm close to the words and not predictable, and easy to listen to and to enjoy. I shall love to work with this music. (Emma Undemar, Sweden)

Thank you very much for sharing such valuable musical gift! (Aarne Saluveer, Estonia)

I am very happy about our cooperation, your "O nata lux" is very beautiful and sounds wonderful - we are looking forward to new pieces from you!

I already see a number of pieces to be included in the repertoire of my chorus in the future. (Aira Birzina, Latvia)
