Confluences est une oeuvre en trois mouvements pour clarinette, violon, violoncelle et piano qui a été composée pour le Continuum Ensemble de New York en 2001. Dans le mouvement premier court métrage, un motif de deux notes erre dans les cordes tandis que le piano joue chiffres délicats dans le déchant. Le deuxième mouvement, Grazioso, est le plus élaboré parmi les trois, en commençant par un jeûne en forme d'arche thème joué par la clarinette. De ce thème émergent arpèges oscillants qui se dissolvent dans plusieurs motifs de tournage. Le mouvement final, intitulé 'pacifique, flottant', contient un dialogue transparent entre tous les membres de l'ensemble. Confluences a été créée à la Knitting Factory à New York en 2001. / Clarinette, Violon, Violoncelle Et Piano

The poem forms part of Whitman’s magnum opus LEAVES OF GRASS which he revised extended and worked on practically all his writing life.I had previously drawn some lines from the poem SEADRIFT for another work of mine a work likewise entitled SEADRIFT (1978) for soprano and ensemble.In this present new piece I did not set out to depict in music ‘the soul of the sea’ or anything like that. I did however have an intention of making the piece a sort of outstretched hand from one small country with a multitude of islands and – necessarily – a lot of water around it (I am referring of course to my native Denmark) to another country with many islands: Hawaii with its far-away exotic appeal (at least for a Scandinavian) and its remoteness thousands and thousands of nautical miles away. Folkloristic Hawaiian chant (alluring samples of which were kindly forwarded to me from the commissioner of the work) fascinated and impressed me so much that my melodic repertoire in the new piece sometimes echo a Hawaiian Melodybrother.A latent wave-character is characteristic of the piece. You will hear a simultaneity of different ‘wavelengths’ and often a dense and complex melodic and rhythmic
