The astrological sign of Gemini is important to the composer and his family. In addition to being born under the sign himself, the composer’s father and sister are also Geminis. This piece, as a result, is both auto-biographical and a reflection of the composers closest family.

Gemini Concerto was commissioned by and written for Ryukoku University (Japan), André Henry and Shoichiro Hokazono. Set in three movements, the concerto aims to explore the close relationship, as solo instruments, between the trumpet and euphonium, exploiting the many common factors between the two as well as the subtly different characteristics they possess in terms of both lyrical and rhythmic playing. The first movement is a bustling toccata and the second movement is lyrical and improvisatory in nature. A fantastic piece and a great addition to the repertoire!Gemini Concerto werd in opdracht gegeven door en geschreven voor de Ryukoku University (Japan), André Henry en Shoichiro Hokazono. Dit driedelige concert verkent de nauwe relatie tussen de trompet en de euphonium, beide als solo-instrument, waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van de vele gemeenschappelijke kenmerken, evenals de subtiele verschillen die er zijn in zowel het lyrische als het ritmische spel. Het eerste deel is een bruisende toccata, en deel twee is lyrisch en improvisatorisch van karakter. Een fantastisch werk en een geweldige bijdrage aan het repertoire!Das Gemini Concerto wurde von der Ryukoku University (Japan) in Auftrag gegeben und für André Henry und Shoichiro Hokazono geschrieben.

Per Norgard GEMINI RISING for harpsichord soloFirst there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there isThe title literally Ascending Twins - was borrowed from astrological terminology but refers, purely musically, to two essential circumnstances in the work: A constant duplicity in the melodic basis, as well as an almost constantly ascending tendency. Even when - as is the case in the start - falling figures appear, the combination of several such figures produces an ascending impression. GEMINI RISING was composed for Elisabeth Chojnacka and premiered at a concert in Copenhagen in November 1990.Per Norgard.

Essays by Gregory Barnett, Barra Boydell, Enrico Careri, Cheryll Duncan, Christopher Hogwood, Peter Holman, Clare Hornsby, Mark Kroll, Sandra Mangsen, Andrew Pink, Rudolf Rasch, Robin Stowell, Michael Talbot, Wiebke Thormahlen, Peter Walls, Neal ZaslawSixteen essays by international scholars celebrate the 250th anniversary of Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762), star pupil of Corelli and composer, performer and teacher in Paris, London and Dublin, who for many years was ranked as the equal of Handel.His compositions moved far beyond Corelli's model (to include theatre music, sonatas for cello and keyboard works) and later in his life he supported his aesthetic style with treatises on violin and guitar playing, good taste, accompaniment and composition. He published all his output in the most elegant style via engravers and music sellers in Paris, Amsterdam and London, and constantly revised and rewrote earlier works in new and often expanded formats. This legacy is analysed and placed in context within the various national styles current in Europe, and the enormous influence of his treatise The Art of Playing on the Violin is positioned in a continuum which extends to Ivan Galamian.Outside music these studies examine the effect of Freemasonry on Geminiani's career, and his frequent recourse to law to defend his rights. On his own admission, Geminiani preferred dealing in fine art to playing the violin -- a claim always derided by earlier writers, but in fact easily defended by newly available evidence of his highly successful sales.The reception of Geminiani's music is also re-assessed and his apparent decline in public favour is explained; many new sources contradict the accepted and dismissive opinions of Charles Burney and John Hawkins, and the supportive enthusiasm of his main British advocate, Charles Avison, is given its rightful position. Questions of present-day performance values are also contrasted with Geminiani's philosophy, and many leads presented for the future investigation of this enigmatic but individual genius.

The Geminis Concertino was written in 2005 and dedicated to Gerard Claret and the National Chamber Orchestra of Andorra (ONCA).
The work, as its name implies, is a small-scale concerto for violin and 15 string instruments. Its score is basically a chamber piece in which the solo part never takes an overly virtuoso role. Conceived as a single movement, played without interruption, its internal construction consists of three classic sections: A, bars 1-72, B, bars 73-161, and C, from bar 162 to the end of the piece. Part B begins with the two opening measures of Bela Bartok's Violin Concerto simply as a reminder of a composer and a work that has impressed me since I was very young.I should confess that the entire Geminis Concertino has a certain Bartokian air that I attribute to the love I have always professed for this composer and that lately seems to affect me much as it did in my youth.--The author. Barcelona, march 2006
Comentarios del Espanol: Concertino Geminis es una obra escrita el ano 2005, que dedique a Gerard Claret y a la Orquestra de Cambra de Andorra.
La obra, como su nombre indica, es un pequeno concierto para violin y 15 instrumentos de cuerda, sin que la parte solista tome nunca un papel excesivamente virtuosistico, ya que la partitura tiene un caracter eminentemente cameristico. Concebida en un solo tiempo y, por lo tanto, interpretada sin interrupcion, su construccion interna la constituyen los tres movimientos clasicos: A, del compas 1 al 72; B, del compas 73 al 161; y C, del compas 162 al final. La parte B comienza con los dos primeros compases del Concierto para violin de Bela Bartok, simplemente como recuerdo de un compositor y de una obra que, ya desde muy joven, me impresionaron.
Debo confesar que entiendo que todo el Concertino Geminis adquiere un cierto aire bartokiano, que atribuyo al amor que siempre he profesado por ese autor y que ultimamente vuelve a estar presente, igual como lo estuvo en mi juventud.--El autor. Barcelona, marzo de 2006
