In memoriam was written in memory of my parents, that died within a short time of each other in 2009. It is an attempt to handle the sorrow and all the other accompanying feelings. The work, like the feelings, is flowing in various directions without much conscious control. The musical language is deliberately developed towards something my parents would have liked, since the piece was written for them.
The work was written between 2009 and 2010 in a flow-of-consciousness style where the ideas went relatively directly to paper, without much deliberation. In memoriam was commissioned by Tinna Þorsteinsdóttir, with support from the Icelandic State Radio.
