Jordens Vej for SA Choir and Organ by Per Nørgård (1981). Text by Ole Sarvig. Manuscript copy. Programme note When in 1975 I had finished composing my 3rd Symphony (begun in 1973) I wrote three simple melodies for two psalm texts by Ole Sarvig: “The Year” and “Choral Hymn”. These three tunes were derived from the same material as the second movement of the 3rd Symphony and could be harmonized together in several different tempo relationships at the same time - like fractals – which inspired me to write several choral and instrumental works in the following decade based onthese melodies: “Frost Psalm” “Winter Cantata” “Cantica” a.o.  One of these ‘Sarvig melodies’ is now in the Danish Hymnbook nr. 720 under the title 'Året'(The Year).  Jordens vej for choir and organ was the basis of the work Korsalme (1982) for mixed choir and instruments (ad lib.).

Based on Symphony No.7 Second Movement by Ludwig van Beethoven-Uses: Holy Week Good FridayScripture: Matthew 27:59; John 19:38-42; Mark 15:46; Luke 27:55-56Though only scored for 2-part choir this Holy Week lament has a power and conviction essential for theshadows of Holy Week. Utilizing the immortal theme of Beethoven's seventh symphony the dramatic dirge-like pattern beats a steady reminder of the price of grace.
