This thesis covers pretty much everything about the 4’th movement of “I Ching” by Per Nørgård (“IV. Towards Completion. Fire over Water”). I have delved deep into an analysis, that helped me develop my own interpretation and understanding of the piece. While I was doing my research, I discovered fascinating links between music and mathematics, that showed me how much we don’t know and that there are interesting subjects left for us to find. My exploration did not stop there just yet, I also found out about the “I Ching”, an ancient Chinese book, that covers a broad topic, which can be summed up in two words: Yin & Yang. This, combined with a bit of mathematics contributed to the creation of a unique vocabulary that Per Nørgård pioneered, called: “infinity series”. My thesis aim is to promote Per Nørgård’s music, that has not yet been discovered by enough percussionists.
