Dances Of Time is a diverse collection of five choral songs addressing different aspects of time. Texts ranging from biblical to twentieth century are set to Chilcott's attractive and characterful music drawing on elements of dance forms in various styles.The work opens with a rhythmic setting of Henry VIII's famous text 'Pastime with good company' before the contrastingly wistful and reflective 'Today'. The carpe diem sentiment of 'Gather ye rosebuds' is heightened through its setting as a lively jig and in 'To every thing there is a season' a central section presents the paired images of the text from Ecclesiastes enclosed by almosthymn-like outer segments. The infectiously positive 'Life has loveliness' sums up the overall message of the collection: despite the passing of time we can celebrate the present through music and singing.

To H.C. Andersen Poesier - Two Poems by Hans Christian Andersen arranged to music by Per Nørgård for SATB choir and SSA choir. 1. Lysets færdreland / The Native Land of Light (for mixed chorus SATB)2. Løft mig kun bort / Come lift me up (for mixed chorus SSA*) *) the second movement may be performed by a children’s chorus or by the female voices (SSA) from a mixed chorus Programme note From my very first aquaintance with these Andersen poems I was deeply moved by the simple almost naive yet evocative imagery with which Andersenrealized his visions images like: “The Melody of the Heart” “The Poem of Beauty” “A Spiritual Hindustan” “Fly Death over the Sea of Time fly to Eternal Summer”. Along with this “childishness” Hans Christian Andersen’s poetry encompasses enormous – almost Willim Blake-ish – cosmic visions in the interpolations between e.g. “reaching the Heaven” as opposed to “you’ll find it in a Rosebud” or the juxtaposition of “Everyday Life” and “Eternal Poetry” - which become one. Thus the music came to life in my immediate encounter with these words which almost sang themselves into my Musical Furnace – if you will. Per Nørgård

Citroner Til Vorherre af Jørgen Lauritsen. Ti motetter til tekster af Simon Grotrian for blandet kor SATB a cappella. Fra forordet: Simon Grotrian udgav i 2008 denne samling bønner på Borgens forlag og jeg faldt straks for teksternes helt særlige karakter. Simon kan noget unikt med ord. Jeg læser en strofe og straks falder jeg i tanker - glemmer oplever læser linien igen og går lidt videre for at se hvordan teksten nu kan forføre min oplevelse. Simon gav mig eneretten til at komponere musik til denne digtsamling på den betingelse at jeg ikkemå 'rykke et komma'. Det har jeg overholdt idet Simon har givet mig lov til at gentage linier når jeg føler for det. Motetterne er komponeret i årene 2008 til 2015. Der har været lange pauser i arbejdet jeg har vendt og drejet teksterne og tonerne. Mens livet er passeret forbi. Ud af alle disse tanker tvivl læsning og lytning er der nu kommet ti motetter. For mig er dette værk et fredfyldt sted til eftertanke og bøn. Det vil glæde mig hvis musikken bruges - som samlet værk eller enkeltvis til koncerter eller gudstjeneste. Det er vigtigt at tekst og musik synges mundret med de betoninger der er naturlige. Sådan forstår jeg budskabet bedst. Derfor de mange skiftende taktarter og den enkle melodik. Med ønsket om at dirigenter sangere og publikum får gode oplevelser med Simons tekst og min musik. Jørgen Lauritsen (2015)

Par HARVEY JONATHAN. Forms of Emptiness by Jonathan Harvey   Forms of Emptiness is a work for mixed choir which sets words from the Buddhist Heart Sutra, in the original Sanskrit, and three poems by E.E. Cummings. The E.E. Cummings poems all have emphasis on the here and now, on 'catching the joy as it flies'. Seeker of truth Follow no path All paths lead where Truth is here Against these vivid flashes of joy and colour is set a chant - the sanskrit of the Heart Sutra - which acts as a ground from which the 'forms of emptiness' briefly emerge, and against which they are comprehended as transient, scarcely real. There are references to other 'sacred styles' as well as that of the chant - to those of Palestrina and Messiaen for instance. Jonathan Harvey  / Répertoire / SATB
