In the 80's Ore won international recognition for several of her electro-acoustic works. She won both the first and second prize at the International Rostrum for Electro-Acoustic Music 1988 for "Etapper" ("Stages"). The same year she also received the Norwegian Society of Composers' "Composition of the Year" award for her orchestra piece "Porphyre", as well as the Norwegian State Guarantee Income for Artists.

During the 1980’s Ore composed several pieces for voice. "Calliope" (for female voice, 1984) has been frequently performed. After focusing on instrumental music during the 1990’s, she starts working with voice again in 2000. The music-dramatic work: "A – a shadow opera" was premiered at the Ultima Festival 2001, and released on CD in 2003, the same year she also composed "Schwirren" for the vocal ensemble Nordic Voices. And in 2005 she realized a sound-installation, "Lux Illuxit", involving vocal material at The National Archives of Norway.
