Chaque été, la cathédrale de Chichester dans le Sussex mobilise ses voisines de Winchester et de Salisbury pour l'un des plus grands festivals de musique religieuse de Grande-Bretagne : le Southern Cathedral's Festival. Pour l'édition de 1965, on a commandé une composition à Leonard Bernstein - les Chichester Psalms, devenus très populaires entretemps. Cette oeuvre en trois parties se base sur des psaumes hébraïques, que Bernstein a réuni lui-même pour en souligner le caractère liturgique. L'année de la création des Chichester Psalms, Bernstein était en congé sabbatique d'un an de son poste au New York Philharmonic Orchestra, une occasion qu'il a utilisée pour composer. Il raconte : « À l'époque, je n'ai composé pendant un an quasiment que de la dodécaphonie, et des choses encore plus expérimentales. J'étais heureux de faire émerger ces nouvelles sonorités ; mais après environ six mois de travail, j'ai tout jeté. Ce n'était pas ma musique, ce n'était pas sincère. Ensuite, il y a eu les Chichester Psalms - certainement la pièce tonale en si majeur la plus claire que j'aie jamais composé ».Année : 1965Pages : 44Langue : Hebrew / Choeur et ensemble vocal / Boosey

Programme Note ABENDLIED & MÄRCHENFARBEN for accordion ensemble incl. choir and percussion ad lib. (1980).MÄRCHENFARBEN is a virtuoso piece for accordion ensemble based on Nørgård´s ?infinity series? and a special multi-layered rhythm also heard in the composers well known choral work ?Wie ein Kind? (second movement) from the same year 1980.This rhythm with the onomatopoeic nickname ´pischop´ has a swaying and breathing quality which seems well suited for an ensemble of accordions. Two percussion parts to be added ad lib. - are composed into the tone music of the accordions in ?Märchenfarben?.The piece was composed in 1980 for the very talented Det DanskeHarmonika Ensemble and its leader Jeanette Dyremose an ensemble that enlarged the instrumental piece with an introduction (as suggested by the composer) singing and playing Nørgård´s choral song ?Abendlied? (1980) to a sunset idyllic poem by Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930) including here the word ´märchenfarben´ the title of the shimmering and colorful instrumental music to follow with Märchenfarben. The duration of Abendlied & Märchenfarben is around 15-17 minutes (5-6´ + 10-11´).Per Nørgård

Winter Cantata / Vinterkantate (1976) by Per Nørgård for a variable ensemble of soloist mixed choir and instruments (minimum: vocalist and organ). 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 on thesemelodies: ?Frost Psalm? ?Winter Cantata? ? Winter Hymn? ?Cantica? and others. One of these ´Sarvig melodies´ is now included in the new Danish Hymnbook under the title ?Året?(The Year). Ole Sarvig´s poem ?Året? (The Year) is Danish perhaps Scandinavian in character but its symbolic atmosphere is global (now snow is covering the whole earth). The basic composition of this cantata based on Sarvig´s many verses was done by letting soloist choir and instruments change in feelings and moods: from the almost silent inward-looking beginning (I: Chorale dolorosa) to a dancelike and happy optimism (II: A heaven germ on winged foot thrust deep into the earth its root) followed by nightmarish tone rows as the ?year-wheel of fortune? is turning (III: Sacrifice The Year) and the temptations of the snake (IV: In Paradiso) to the allegorical fights between egoism and altruism (V:The Cycle Autumn. Purgatory) before the ?waiting for a disaster?- atmosphere at the end of this choral Odyssé. Winter Cantata was from the beginning (1976) designed as an open work to be arranged by different combinations of soloists choir and (different) instruments. The printed version by Per Nørgård and Ivan hansen for soloist mixed choir and instruments (obo violin trombone vibraphone/percussion and organ) is from 1990. The work
