Durata: 7'00''

I augusti, sensommar - In August, late summer was written for the Helikon Chamber Trio consisting of Christian Lindberg on trombone, Jens Lundberg on bandoneon and Andrea Tarrodi on piano. The piece was premiered on the 22nd of July 2010 at the Musicaldas Festival in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal.

Comment: I augusti, sensommar was inspired by Sommarboken (the Summer Book), by the finish author Tove Jansson.
A chapter in the book is called "I augusti" (In August).

I augusti

Det är fortfarande sommar men den lever inte längre, den har stannat av utan att vissna och hösten är inte färdig att komma

Det som fortfarande blommade var rött eller gult, starka färgfläckar över tången, inne i skogen fanns några väldiga vita rosor som slog ut och levde ett dygn i andlös prakt

Ur Sommarboken av Tove Jansson


( In August

It is still summer but it does not live any longer, it has stopped without withering and autumn is not yet ready to come

The flowers that still blossomed were red or yellow. Deep into the woods a few white roses bloomed and lived for one day only in all their glory )
