In this project I aimed to deepen my insight into musical craftsmanship, form conclusions about counterpoint, harmony and melody (both written and improvisational) and how these can intertwine in order to create a larger coherent musical work. Whilst working on the project I used a wide plethora of jazz and classical techniques to create programmatic music molded after the great Swedish novel Doktor Glas. The music was written for a small orchestra with musicians with backgrounds in jazz, classical and folk music, and was performed live at KMH on the 12th of April 2022.
