The word GONG is saturated with associations: the splendour of the Orient, mysticism, drama, loud metallic clangour, violent impact, etc. The present piece draws upon all those connotations, but it is primarily a symphonic drama about the life and behaviour of the sun, our closest star and prime source of life on Earth. Describing the sun in music is not a new idea, of course; during a visit to Greece, Carl Nielsen was inspired by the orbit of the sun and its very un-Danish ferocity and thus wrote the Helios Overture. GONG is a Helios Overture too, of sorts, albeit more abstract. Recent astronomical research shows, that the surface of the sun reverberates like a gong, in four different, simultaneous tempi (not directly depicted in the score, though); the sun looks like a GONG, - the O in the written work looks like the sun; there is even a solar research group called GONG (Global Oscillation Network Group). Formally the composition follows the life and fate of the sun, from the initial explotional birth through the hyper-activity as energy source as we know it today to the final, predicted flaring up and collapse into a so-called white dwarf. But - being a musical composition, not an astrophysical thesis - GONG is brought to its compositional conclusion by a real concert-ending, a chord taken from the middle of the piece and sustained over several bars, from virtual nothingness to full force.

Fuego Fatuo has an interesting history. Manuel De Falla (1876-1946), often regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the 20th century, wanted to write an opera based around themes from Chopin, whomhe greatly admired. The stage work was never finished; however, several attempts have been made to arrange the work for orchestra, most successfully by the Catalan conductor Antoni Ros-Marba.
Despite its history,this orchestral suite is far from being a mere mish-mash of Chopin melodies; it is more of a meditation on Chopin's work in general, with the focus on the harmonic and textural elements which De Falla drew from his work.It forms a fascinating insight into the mind of a great musician.

Palle Mikkelborg GOING TO PIECES WITHOUT FALLING APART 2002 for violin, harpe og strygereTilegnet Elise Batnes og Helen DaviesForord l Programnote En solful d morgentur i Melbourne bragte mig forbi en boghandel der specialiserede sig i spiritualbooks, og i vinduet faldt mine ojne pa et citat som ojeblikkeligt ramte mig folelsesmaessigtstaerkt- og jeg folte at jeg havde fundet titlen pa den komposition jeg pa tankeplan allerede vari gang med. Citatet lod:going to pieces ... without falling apartTre temaer og relaterede skalaer, baseret pa henholdsvis Elise Batnes', Helen Davies' og BergenKammerensembles navne, har vaeret afgorende for dele af tonesproget, og forekommer badeielose-up og mere douche i kompositionens syv hovedafsnit. Det barnlige, det enkle, det her-og-nu naive, det umiddelbare, kom til at spille en vigtig rolleunder arbejdet. Ikke fordi selve mit tonesprog er saerligt meget anderledes end ellers (hvordanskulle det ogsa kunne blive det?), men formuleringen: at go to pieces fik mig til at taenke pa atblive som barn pa ny, atter at vaere u-bange, at turde tro pa det enkle.Udover denne- i bedste betydning- enkle inspiration er onsket at kompositionens kurve kanopleves som en mulig meditiations-rejse: i starten en tro pa egen ro, langsomt breder uroensig, og i lystfulde glimt ser man sig selv danse en rituel dans, med andehuller her og der: ogfristelsen til at rive forhaenget vaek og go to pieces, og angsten for maske at miste sig selv undervejs,breder sig. Dog, til sidst erkender man at det var rejsen vaerd, og at man heller ikke denne gangfaldt apart, men kan se frem mod atter at vise livet sin respekt ved spirituelt fuldstaendigt at givesig hen, dog vel vidende at livet merciless & merciful, med kaerlig hand villade diggo to pieces ... without falling apartMen selvklart er mit egentlige onske: at man blot lader musikken leve sit eget ordlose liv - atlytteren har sin egen rejse. Palle Mikkelborg.

The question Why add music to such perfect poetry? preoccupied Schumann long and intensively. His first compositional approach to Goethes Faust began in 1844, but it was not until 1851 that he finally completed the Scenes. At Liszts suggestion, Schumann added an overture in 1853, a symphonic instrumental introduction which atmospherically evokes the action of the Scenes but has no direct thematic reference to them. As an independent overture, the work has been played relatively rarely in concert halls to this day; the general prejudice towards Schumanns late works was no doubt partly responsible for this. The first Urtext edition of the overture was based on the autograph score that was revised by Schumann and served as the principal source. It should give new impulses to the future reception of this work which Paul Dukas hailed as a miracle, from beginning to end.The Faust Overture in its First Urtext Edition.

Perfect for orchestras wanting to embrace the music of the Pacific, From the Depths Sound the Great Sea Gongs combines the exotic sound worlds of Indonesian gamelan, Rarotongan drumming and Japanese taiko drumming. Farr's best-known orchestral work and a classic in New Zealand's orchestral repertoire, its rhythmic character is initially reminiscent of Balinese processional music, later employing interlocking material in choreographic homage to Bali's reyong gong ensembles. This edition of the work includes revisions made by the composer in 2000.
