Elf and Fairy Sprite – the title attracts the thought towards Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It is full of tones – or are they elves? In the beginning, but gradually, the activity is subdued in order to give way for something else. There are attacks of melodies – with interruptions of hecticness and silence. The melody seems to win with an innocent quotation from one of Mogens Christensen’s Norske Barnerim (Norwegian Nursery Rhymes).
… er et stykke med temperament – vildt og ustyrlig som en høststorm det ene øjeblik og drømmende i det næste (Bergensavisen)
… der er ved at komme krop i Christensens musik, der før har haft sin styrke i den følsomme nuanceringskunst. (Aalborg Stiftstidende)
