MUSIC IN A LANDSCAPE OF COLOURS

What you get to hear and see in this video production is beautiful Danish contemporary music for solo clarinet, presented in the beautiful setting of a landscape of colours, namely the Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelts Museum in Herning, Denmark - www.chpeamuseum.dk
The music is a world premiere recording of the Pour clarinette seule II from 1961 by Danish composer Gunnar Berg (1909-1989), played by young Danish clarinetist Jonas Frølund, who was followed around the museum by the camera and drone equipment of young Danish Klavs Kehlet.
The video is in full colour with the aim of capturing in a convincing and exciting artistic way both the colourful and dynamic expression of the music itself and the vivid polychrome world of the unique ceramic walls by Danish painter Carl-Henning Pedersen (1913-2007). His monumental ceramic mural, The Play of Imagination around the Wheel of Life from 1966-68, in the inner courtyard of the former shirt factory Angligården (designed by Danish C. F. Møller Architects and based on an idea by landscape architect C. Th. Sørensen) was indirectly the reason why the City of Herning in 1976 founded a museum based on the unique collection of works of art created by Carl-Henning Pedersen and his wife, Else Alfelt (1910-1974). Originally, the museum consisted of a single circular building for exhibitions. In 1993, the museum was extended with a three-sided prism, and on the occasion of Carl-Henning Pedersen's 90th birthday in 2003, his final monumental work in Herning, the 12-meter high Obelisk, was erected in the middle of the roundabout in Birk, right next to the museum; in 2015, then, the museum was further expanded with an underground corridor so that today there is a direct connection with the old Angli factory, the inner courtyard and the Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelts Museum.
