Carl Nielsen: Chaconne Op.32

Carl Nielsen is doubtlessly one of Denmark?s most important and popular composers. This is no more evident than in his 1916 work for Piano Solo, Chaconne Op.32, which followed a seventeen-year gap in his compositions for that instrument. It is a decidedly dynamic work, in constant motion from the moment the simple opening theme begins through the crescendo and to the winding down and end of this piece. The twenty variations that form the core of this piece themselves have a varied range, sometimes comparatively easy, showing Bach?s influence, other times he uses highly complex contrasts. This is a fine example of Nielsen?s work and uses mood and texture to great effect making it ideal for concert or recital performance whilst the variations make it a clever training manual.

Outi Tarkiainen: The Earth, Spring's Daughter (Score)

Outi Tarkiainen's The Earth, Spring's Daughter - A Song Cycle for Mezzosoprano and Chamber Orchestra (2015). Texts (in English and Sami) by Rose-Marie Huuva, Rauni Magga Lukkari, Timo Malmi, Aila Meriluoto, Leena Morottaja and Nils-Aslak Valkeapää. Transl. by Veikko Holmberg. Compiled by Outi Tarkiainen. Programme note Eanan, giđa nieida (in Engl. The Earth, Spring's Daughter) is a mythical epos illustrating the core experiences of the North from the history to our times. The text is a vast collage of Sami poetry - the Sami people being the only indigenous people in the Europe. The strong mutual bond between the generations and the Sami culture's cyclical perception of time are present also in the structure of the work: the music unfolds in layers and cycles, to be born again and again. The work was commissioned by three northernmost professional orchestras in Europe: Lapland Chamber Orchestra (FIN), Norrbotten Chamber Orchestra (SWE) and Arctic Philharmonic (NOR). Dedicated to John Storgårds and Ulla-Maija Kanerva. First performance: Lapland Chamber Orchestra 1.9.2016, cond. John Storgårds, Virpi Räisänen, mezzosoprano.

Per Nørgård: String Quartet No.9 - Into The Source (parts)

PrefaceThe three movements of the quartet may be perceived as three different expressions of an unstable core: an inherent unrest leads to frequent changes of direction. The first movement is full of dramatic contrasts; it is followed by a second movement, whose basic mood of meditative rest is challenged by occasional centrifugal utbursts, while the third movement takes the inherent conflicts to a higher level, contrasting material of introspective lyricism with excessively pathetic moods.The final ?way out? is a retrograde one, (back) ?into the source?: through a constant accelerando-diminuendo the piece disappears into a vanishing point. The ?into the source? of the title may be visualized as a reversed fountain-action: the broad fan-like spread of the first movement, a more coherent-solid second movement, and finally - in the third movement - a return-run, ever more vehemently, like a suction into the spring itself ?The musical motifs are varied; there are traffic-situations (which I heard!) with stomping and machine-like rhythms in different, but simultaneous tempi, and there are more abstract upwards and downwards half-tone-scales, with changing accents, creating glimpses of melodies.INTO THE SOURCE, String Quartet No. 9, was composed on a double-commission from the Orion Quartet and the Vertavo Quartet. The premiere performances took places in Santa Fé in 2002 and in Oslo in 2003.Per Nørgård
