Ascent - Concerto for orchestra was commissioned by the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra. The piece was premiered at De Geer Hallen, Norrköping on April 9, 2015, conducted by Catrine Winnes. 

Comment: "Ascent - Concerto for Orchestra" was written during the fall, winter and spring of 2014/15. Before starting the actual composition of the piece, I thought a lot about water and saw before me an oceanic trench. I wanted the music to begin there. I also reflected a lot on the contrasts between nature and city and how these two environments can exist in different frames of mind. One could call the form of the piece a kind of ascent from the very lowest register of the orchestra to the very highest. The work is divided into 7 cohesive movements. It begins in the stillness of the ocean trench in Part 1, "Ocean Trench." The music then gently rises to a loud crescendo and meets coral reefs and whale song in Part 2, "Whales and Corals." Then it is tossed up towards the surface in Part 3, "Breaking Surface" and swept in towards land and into the city's bustling cacophony in Part 4, "Cityscape." The roar of the city tones down for a short while in Part 5, "Chacarita Cemetery." But eventually the commotion returns again and travels on to Part 6, "Hypomanic Trails." In the last and 7:e part of the piece, "Under the Twilight Canopy," the music finally finds its way back to a kind of stillness, where I imagine a tree under a starry sky. Then it slowly rises above the crowns of the trees, higher and higher, and out into the placidity of outer space." - Andrea Tarrodi

DOKTOR HESSELMARK

(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

När jag mår piss tar jag min mobil
Och slår numret till Doktor Eva
Ångest direkt - kan du hjälpa till?
Jag vill inte längre leva
Hon svarar “Jag kommer direkt”
Jag tänker “Det här är perfekt”
Med Ångest direkt

(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

Har du behov av en konsultation?
Slå bara numret till Dr Eva
Hon sköter allt ifrån deklaration
Till att få stadgar att fungera
Pappersjobb, demokrati
Förenat med psykologi
Hon är ett geni

(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

Men låt oss få ge dig ett råd
Livet är fritt att leva
Så fortsätt som du gör

Och var aldrig rädd för någonting
Gå dina steg längs vägen
som heter Evas väg

Ha mäktiga samlag ibland
Gå på en tur med Henrik
Och laga läcker mat

Och om du behöver nån hjälp
Var aldrig rädd, ta upp din telefon
Och ring till Tuffa Gänget
(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

Grattis Doktor Hesselmark önskar TG!
