En décembre 2011, Chilly Gonzales déménagea son piano au studio Pigalle à Paris. Tout seul pendant 10 jours, il enregistra une sélection de ses compositions parmi une centaine de mélodies composées depuis les 8 années qui le séparent du mythique album Solo Piano I.

Jour après jour, le processus d’enregistrement pur et minutieux prit place. Chilly Gonzales enregistra ses pièces les unes après les autres, jusqu’à capturer l’essence-même de chacune.

Après des années passées à distraire son public avec sa personnalité “larger than life, à défier tous les artistes du monde, les obligeant à se surpasser pour atteindre l’excellence qu’ils doivent à leurs fans, Chilly Gonzales nous présente son argument le plus persuasif : les 14 titres de Solo Piano II contenus dans ce recueil.

La route fut riche jusqu’à Solo Piano II pour “le génie musical auto-proclamé. Porté par une nomination Grammy et un record du monde Guinness Book du concert le plus long, Chilly Gonzales reprit enfin la scène après de nombreuses années passées derrière la console d’un studio à travailler pour les autres. Il devient LE pianiste sollicité par Drake, Feist, Daft Punk, …et même Steve Jobs pour sa campagne mondiale pour IPAD 2.

A travers ses albums et tournées, Chilly fascine par sa polyvalence en tant qu’interprète et sa virtuosité en tant que pianiste. Rare est l’artiste qui fait danser son public sur les rythmes les plus branchés du moment, puis fait appel à un orchestre symphonique pour l’accompagner durant son concert de rap.

Avec Solo Piano II, Chilly Gonzales se distingue une fois de plus comme un authentique “entertainer, conscient que la plus belle marque de respect pour ses fans est avant tout de “shut up and play the piano (dixit Chilly Gonzales dans “The Unspeakable Chilly Gonzales, 2011).

Nordanvind is a tour de force symphonic rhapsody that is built on three Scandinavian folk songs. Composer Carl Strommen has composed these Viking-influenced melodies into a concert setting that brings out all of the history of the Scandinavian people. The piece is at times bold and aggressive, at other times beautiful. Carl employs all of the instrumental colors of the concert band to create a new work for more advanced ensembles.
Modern Scandinavians are descendants of the Vikings, an adventuresome people who were known for their love of the sea, their naval prowess, and as fierce fighters . The Scandinavian Vikings were warriors from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden who traded, raided and settled in various parts of Europe, Russia, the North Atlantic islands, and the northeastern coast of North America .Starting around 1850, over one million Swedes left their homeland for the United States in search of religious freedom and open farm land . Augustana College was founded in 1860 by graduates of Swedish universities and is located on the Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois . Home of the “Vikings,” Augustana College is the oldest Swedish- American institution of higher learning in the United States . This powerful and lively piece takes inspiration from Swedish history and from Swedish folk songs and hymns .Havsdrake (Dragon of the Sea)The Nordanvind or “North Wind” blows a cold wind during a journey of a group of courageous Viking rowers . The “Dragon-ship” or long ships designed for raiding and war was a sophisticated, fast ship able to navigate in very shallow water . To musically portray these magnificent seafaring vessels, the director is encouraged to use an Ocean Drum (or a rain stick) during the introduction . Wind players may consider blowing air through their instruments to suggest the North wind . Adding men’s voices to accompany the haunting low brass and percussive “rower” sounds can be helpful in creating the dark and ominous portrayal of Viking adventurers .Slangpolska efter Byss - KalleIn Sweden, a “polska” is a partner dance where the dancers spin each other (släng in Swedish “to sling or toss”) . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is attributed to Byss-Kalle, who was a notable Swedish folk musician, specifically a nyckelharpa player . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is a traditional “polska” dance song most often played on the Nyckelharpa or keyed fiddle and is commonly heard in pubs and at festive events throughout Sweden . Approximately 10,000 nyckelharpa players live in Sweden today, and the Swedish and the American Nyckelharpa Associations are dedicated to this Swedish National instrument . The director is encouraged to share video and audio examples of the nyckelharpa playing the original Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara (Children of the Heavenly Father)Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara Is a traditional Swedish melody, possibly of German roots, and was believed to be arranged as a hymn by the Swedish hymn writer, Karolina Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg (1832–1903) . As a daughter of a Swedish Lutheran minister, she began writing poems as a teenager and is said to have written over 1,700 different texts . There are two different accounts as to the inspiration for this hymn . The first story is that Lina (as she was called) wrote the hymn to honor her father and to say thank you to him for raising her and protecting her . A second belief is of her witnessing the tragic death of her father . She and her father were on a boat, when a wave threw her father overboard . It was said that the profound effect of watching her father drown is what caused Lina to write the text to this hymn . Although this is a treasured song to people of Swedish descent everywhere, it speaks to all people about a father tending and nourishing his children, and protecting them from evil .SPS71FThe Augustana College Concert BandFounded in 1874, the Augustana Band program is one of the oldest continuously active collegiate band programs in the country .
