Eleanor, writing in 2022:

“‘Langvad’ was composed in 2006, born out of love for the Kirsten Kjaers Museum in NW Denmark and for its developers John Anderson and Harald Fuglsang who also caused the summer festival the Langvad Chamber Music Jamboree to come into being. The museum itself is in the village of Langvad which comprises a single very long road. This gave me the idea of painting a picture of a long parade, perhaps by circus folk, or a history of events in someone’s life or in nature. This was the germ of an idea which led to the piece but it is open to the listener’s own perception as the music tells its own story according to the ear of the receiver.”
