Søren Nils Eichberg's Symphony No. 2 - 'Before Heaven Before Earth' (2010). Commissioned by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra / DR. Parts are available on hire: hire@ewh.dk Programnote Symfoni nr. 2 er kronen på værket af et helt værkkompleks som Søren Nils Eichberg har arbejdet med siden 2008. På et stipendieophold i Italien fik han så mange idéer fra hånden at selv ikke de tre værker han dengang var ved at komponere kunne udnytte dem alle. Stoffet blev brugt til dobbeltkoncerten til en opera og etorkesterværk bestilt af det tyske Ensemble Modern. Og materialet lever videre i hans Symfoni nr. 2 der afslutter en nærmest eksplosiv fase af kreativitet. Man behøver ikke kende de tre andre værker for at få udbytte af symfonien pointerer Søren Nils Eichberg. Det materiale som værkerne har til fælles fremtræder da også også på vidt forskellig måde. I stykket til Ensemble Modern (In Circles) virker idéerne som rastløse og flygtige indfald mens de i Symfoni nr. 2 bliver anvendt på en mere gennemarbejdet facon. Symfonien varer ca. 25 minutter og spilles i ét uafbrudt forløb. Alligevel er den opbygget efter klassisk model hvor man fornemmer en ”1. sats” en ”langsom sats” og en ”finale” undervejs. Det hele udspringer af to kontrasterende temaer der begge præsenteres to gange i begyndelsen. Det er et symfonisk princip der stammer helt tilbage fra symfonigenrens barndom. ”Dobbelt-præsentationen” er særlig nyttig i musik som lytterne ikke kender på forhånd. Symfoniens første tema er en række akkorder der spilles af violiner og bratscher. Kontrasttemaet er en hurtig rytmisk basfigur som

Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928-2016) was one of Finland's internationally most successful composers. He made his major breakthrough with the Symphony No. 7, Angel of Light, in the 1990s, but his output includes numerous classic operas, concertos, chamber music and choral works. Over his extensive career, he progressed from Neo-Classicism to strict dodecaphony to free-tonal Neo-Romanticism, combining modernism with mystical romanticism in his later works. According to the composer, the role of the composer is to be mediator, a midwife, who helps the music become alive on its own terms; Listen to what the music wants to tell you, he told his composition students, sense where it wants to go. Rautavaara rose to great international fame with the success of his Symphony No. 7, Angel of Light (1995) powered by the prize-winning recording (Helsinki Philharmonic, Segerstam, Ondine label) later the same year. Many high-profile international commissions followed, creating yet more prize-winning recordings. To mark the 25th anniversary of the work's premiere - in its original form as the Bloomington Symphony - by the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra and conductor David Pickett, Fennica Gehrman is publishing an entirely new edition of the symphony based on all available sources, including the composer's manuscript and his markings in various printed scores. This is a large-sized conductor score with extensive analysis of the work and its genesis.
