Triptykon for Percussion and Orchestra was composed by Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen in 1985. Dedicated to Gert Mortensen. Programme note:TRIPTYKON is inspired by the visual arts (a triptych is a painting on three panels hinged side byside - for instance an altarpiece).The three movements of TRIPTYKON are composed in an eff ort to create clear contrasts of colour.The first movement employs only winds in the orchestra the second movement only strings and in thethird movement the first two movements are repeated on top of each other played simultaneously. Tuepercussion solo part has equally distinctcolours: for the first movement: metal only for the secondmovement: wood only and then finally in the third movement- together with the orchestral tutti - skin!Other distinct features in TRIPTYKON are block-like dispositions polyrhythmic layers and simplicityof tonal colours. Tue often crude articulation of motifs and the frequent use ofrepetition lend a ritualcharacter to the music.TRIPTYKON was composed in close collaboration with percussionist Gert Mortensen and the work isdedicated to him.
