The Aros Guitar Duo presents a collection of six original works, composed especially for them between 2018 and 2021. Each composer was tasked with incorporating the theme of Morten Børup timeless ode, In vernalis temporis into their work. This melody, dating back 500 years, has been played by the town carillon since 1948 and has become the official anthem of Aarhus.

The result is a grand suite consisting of six movements, each crafted by a different composer with a connection to Aarhus. Despite their diverse backgrounds and circumstances, composers Asger Agerskov Buur, Martin Lohse, Peter Bruun, Rasmus Zwicki, John Frandsen, and Wayne Siegel have collaboratively produced a captivating sonic portrayal of Denmark’s second-largest city and the diversity of the contemporary music scene in the country.
