Split thee, Soul, to Splendid Bits (attn.: no eternal life/light this time around)

for violin, viola, cello and harpsichord (2018)
Split thee, Soul, to Splendid Bits (attn.: no eternal life/light this time around) was commissioned by Nordic Affect and written in the summer of 2018. The piece is divided into five movements, as well as a prelude and interlude, played through continuously. Each movement is dedicated to a certain character or incident, staged in a somewhat religious rollercoaster for atheists.

i.   a dirty prelude to get started
I.   “Virgin” Mary
II.  Mr. Saint Nice Guy
III. Uomo in disguise
IV. Revelation: wave-crushed stones and primitive despise
ii.  interlude: OMFG have mercy on us
V.  Amma in the skies
