Antiphony

for accordion and organ. Duration 9 minutes.

Antiphony explores the similarities and differences of the two instruments; the organ with its sacred position and overtones and the very secular accordion, the stable versus the flexible. The piece developes through three stages; response, overlapping and merging. It has a chaconne-like structure, going through 12 chords at different speeds. 

Revised in 2023.

First performance: July 11, 2021, Ásta Soffía Þorgeirsdóttir and Guðný Einarsdóttir in Skálholt Church.
