Poemi is based on three allegorical paintings by Marc Chagall each of which is a masterly depiction of a well-known text the Old Testament: The Dream of Jacob The Sacrifice of Isaac and Jacob in Combat with the Angel. Hallgrimsson's intention in writing the work was to compose a virtuoso piece for violin and string orchestra which would recreate in music the poetic essence of Chagall’s paintings.The soloist is at the centre of the ‘musicalstage’ throughout with the orchestra providing a constantly changing ‘scenery’. The music progresses from the tranquillity of the Dream in the first movement through the drama of the Sacrifice in the second to the fast andtense Combat with the Angel which forms the final movement.'Poemi' was awarded the Nordic Council Prize in March 1986.

Ruders writes: My second concerto for violin and orchestra is a ‘reverse’ cousin of Polydrama the cello concerto. The former starts out extremely slow and speeds up gradually and the latter progresses in exactly the opposite way but whereas the cello concerto is composed as one uninterrupted stretch the violin concerto is formally completely different: there are 4 movements each of them combined via a ‘ritornello’ a solo-cadenza which appears 4 times (the works conclude with a solo) in almost the shape i.e. the length varies from time to time.
