Towards Freedom? for Orchestra was composed by Per Nørgård in 1977. The piece is dedicated to Amnesty International. Programme Note: This short piece for orchestra is dedicated to Amnesty International and composed for their concert in the Tivoli Gardens Copenhagen on 20th October 1977. The music is based on my song “Freedom” (for voice and guitar) to a poem by Walt Whitman from his “Seadrift” also performed at the concert. The song also inspired me to a larger work – “Seadrift” – for soprano and chamber ensemble. The Conga partis based on my percussion piece ”Waves” (1969).  The title of the work is “Towards Freedom?”. If the orchestra piece is repeated later in the programme the alternative ending of the piece should be used. And this time the question mark should not be used in the programme (“Towards Freedom”). Per Nørgård (1977)

This short suite, much inspired by Bartók's Six Romanian Folk Dances, is based on traditional dances and songs of Argentina. Although the original rhythms and melodies are often transformed by the use of contemporary techniques, the piece preserves the authentic spirit of each of these folk forms.Zamba de Vargas, a well known folk song, refers to a battle in Argentina between two armies of gauchos during the civil wars of the nineteenth century.Ojos Azules (Blue Eyes) is an introspective lament for lost love of Quichua origin (Northwest of Argentina). It was first collected by musicologist Leda Valladares.Both the Milonga and the Valsecito Criollo, (folk forms which developed in rural areas and then made it to the outskirts of Buenos Aires at the turn of the century) are original themes written by me based on my own personal understanding of the genre.Lastly, the Baguala is inspired on a transcription documented by Isabel Aretz which was reproduced in Las Canciones Folklóricas de la Argentina and published by Instituto Nacional de Musicología of Buenos Aires in 1969.Commissioned by and dedicated to the Minnesota Sinfonia and to its Music Director, Jay Fishman. / Flûte, Alto Et Piano

Par SIBELIUS JEAN. A short lively piece from Opus 76, dating from 1916./ Répertoire / Piano

for Large Wind Band Concert Band Signature Series. Par BARNES JAMES. Hope Arises is one of two new works requested in 2021 of composer James Barnes by Colonel Donald Schofield, to be written for the United States Air Force Band. It is a short piece intended to be used as an opener for AFB's tour concerts. It opens with a dramatic brass fanfare, based on consecutive perfect fourths first introduced by horns and euphoniums, followed by a short oboe solo. An ascending line in mallets and woodwind provide a rather celestial transition, taking the listener to a lively, melodic allegro, which is based on the same opening fourths. This allegro theme is developed until a return to the opening fanfare is powerfully re-announced in brass. The work concludes quite dramatically, and includes a return of the ascending line in woodwinds, mallets, harp and piano. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band
