‘Mixed Bag’ stands midway between a collection and a hotchpotch. It is a colourful compilation of four completely different pieces, each with its own specific character.

The first part is called ‘Tanguillo’ : as its name suggests, this Spanish dance is related to the Tango.
In the next part, ‘Maybe next time ....’ a repeated bass line (Passacaglia) can be heard, first solo, but thereafter gradually the other instruments join in.
The third part forms a huge contrast did the former part have a Baroque atmosphere, ‘Rock Hard’ seems to have come directly from the Rock ‘n Roll era, reminding us of stars such as Bill Haley and Elvis Presley.
The finale is acheerful, inciting movement called ‘Gypsy Dance’.

Mixed Bag’ houdt het midden tussen collectie en ratjetoe. Het is een bonte verzameling van vier verschillende stukjes met ieder een heel eigen karakter.

Het eerste deel heet ‘Tanguillo’. Dit is een Spaanse dans, die zoalsde naam al doet vermoeden verwantschap vertoont met de Tango.
Daarna volgt ‘Maybe next time ....’. Dit deel bestaat uit een steeds herhalende baslijn (Passacaglia). De eerste keer solo, vervolgens komen de andere instrumentenerbij.
Het derde deel vormt een groot contrast. Ademde deel twee vooral een Baroksfeer uit, ‘Rock Hard’ komt rechtstreeks uit de Rock ‘n Roll tijd van Bill Haley en Elvis Presley.
De afsluiting is vrolijk en een tikkeltjeopzwepend: ‘Gypsy Dance’.

Piano Solo. Composed by Per Norgard. Music Sales America. Classical. Book [Softcover]. 7 pages. Music Sales #KP00717. Published by Music Sales (HL.14010480).

Esperanza - Eremitkrebs-Tango (1997) Hermit Crab Tango, Esperanza is part of Norgard's Animals in Concert, a suite of piano pieces, so far comprised of:  1. A Tortoise's Tango (1984) - dur.: 4'  2. Light of a Night - Paul meets bird (1989) - dur.: 6'  3. Hermit Crab Tango - Esperanza (1997) - dur.: 5'  The pieces can be performed together or one by one.  In the1980s, quite a few “finds” turned up in Per Norgard's music. The material could be, say, a number of song birds' equilibrist melodic lines, the overtones of the ocean surf, or waltzing themes by the schizophrenic artist Adolf Wolfli (1864-1930). Or again, as heard here, it can be the rhythms and motifs of the tango and a Beatles song (with bird), explored in three independent piano pieces that form the Animals in Concert suite, about which the composer writes:  Programme note for Animals in Concert:  1. A Tortoise's Tango (1984) - dur.: 4'  2. Light of a Night - Paul meets bird (1989) - dur.: 6'  3.

Or again, as heard here, it can be the rhythms and motifs of the tango and a Beatles song (with bird), explored in three independent piano pieces that form the Animals in Concert suite, about which the composer writes:  “A Tortoise's Tango”: The tortoise as tango dancer must presumably possess certain rhythmic peculiarities, which I have chosen to express by letting the tune of the tortoise shuffle broadly, tripartite through the strict four partite time of tango.  Tortoise Tango was the original title of this piece, “written for Achilles” (the pianist Yvar Mikhashoff), for his so called tango project”, including new tangos for piano by composers from all over the world.  “Light of a Night (Paul meets bird)” was commissioned by pianist Aki Takahashi. It is a “reworked” arrangement for piano of the Beatles song ”Blackbird”. As some of us will recall, the Beatles on “The White Album” let the beautiful song to the blackbird be accompanied by an (apparently) live blackbird song. It is this authentic bird-motif world that in “Light of a Night” weaves itself into the Beatles melody and in turn is gradually infected by it, so that a completely new third entity ensues: a kind of Bird-rock ballad (or maybe it is a Beatle-bird?).  “Hermit Crab Tango (Esperanza)”: The tango situation is quite special for a Hermit Crab. It is a well-known fact that the hermit crab - this soft animal - must run the gauntlet among the many perils at the bottom of the sea when it must move hose. I have chosen to express the angers by a.

Everything I Thought I Wanted was composed Fall 2022 through Spring 2023, when I was musing (perhaps more than usual) about my childhood wishes and dreams and trying to translate some of those musings into music. Full disclosure: this is an assignment I typically give my composition students; maybe I thought I’d try my own assignment. Sonically, this influenced the choice of instrumentation, and led to the inclusion of the toy piano, kalimba, glockenspiel, and crotales into the ensemble. Individual movements initially had specific impressionistic titles, though I removed them after they were completed, hoping to inspire more open-minded listening and personal imagery. I am deeply grateful to Doug Perkins, who organized the wonderful consortium of percussion studio teachers around the US to co-commission the work.
