2OB/2CL/2BN/2HN. Octet for eight winds, opus 34, was composed in 1992. The work was commissioned by The Danish Wind Octet, a remarkable ensemble who also in 1994 recorded the Octet for DaCapo records (Cat. Nr. 8.224.002).
In the style and spirit of the Octet one might find reminiscences of the music by Carl Nielsen, but Asger Lund Christiansen was, according to his own words, also inspired by French composers and there elegant treatment of woodwinds, like Francis Poulenc and Albert Roussel.
The three movements are based on the classical schemes of form, Sonata, Lied and Rondo. The thematically works is lively, a playing together which invites all four wind pairs (oboes, clarinets, horns and bassoons) to perform as soloists as well as in inspired dialogs. Duration is approximately 20 minutes.
