Entrare nell'universo del canto e ritrovare se stessi, la propria dimensione piu autentica e profonda, che comprende anche quella espressiva.
Esistono due modi di cantare: imitando dall'esterno dei suoni oppure scoprendo la propria vera voce e lasciandola risuonare liberamente. Solo il secondo modo dona quel senso euforico di apertura dell'essere, di elevazione e di liberazione, che spinge tante persone sulla strada del canto, ma purtroppo al giorno d'oggi e soprattutto il primo modo a essere proposto e propagandato.
Ogni epoca ha un'immagine, un simbolo che ne rappresenta lo spirito, l'essenza. Il 'meccanismo' e l'immagine in cui ancora si rispecchia e si esprime la modernita del Duemila.
Come i bambini sono convinti che nella radio si nasconda un omino che ci parla dentro, cosi i moderni didatti e scienziati del canto sono convinti che nel corpo si nasconda una macchina vocale che puo entrare in funzione solo leggendo i libretti di istruzione, da loro predisposti. I risultati di questa convinzione si possono sentire nelle scuole di canto e nei teatri...
Si dice che il corpo diventi cio che uno vi introduce mangiando. Analogamente il cantante diventa cio che egli immagina cantando. Se immagina muscoli e cartilagini, il suo canto non potra che essere, per definizione, muscolare e laringeo.
In effetti il canto e si una disciplina del corpo, ma e una disciplina che si apprende educando la mente e non i singoli muscoli. Questa educazione inizia acquisendo la capacita di prendere coscienza delle varie sensazioni vitali e di evocarle cantando. Queste e non le immagini foniatriche delle corde vocali o dei vari muscoli rappresentano la vera tastiera del cantante.
In verita le tastiere meccanicistiche non sono che le gabbie in cui i cantanti inconsapevolmente rinchiudono la loro voce, e ogni anatomia della voce si trasforma ben presto in autopsia della voce...
<>, ha scritto Eraclito venticinque secoli fa. Altrettanto dicasi dell'insperabile del vero canto, detto anche belcanto.

Programme Note CANTICA for cello and piano (1977)When in 1975 I had finished composing my Symphony no. 3 (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 symphony and could be harmonized together in several different tempo relationships, like proportional canons. For this reason they inspired me to write several choral and instrumental works in the following decade: Frost Psalm, Winter Cantata, the tuba octet Now all the earth is white with snow, Canticles (and others).Cantica, meaning song or singing, was composed (forthe Danish musicians Hans Erik Dechert og Kjeld Hansen) as a instrumental little brother the long, polyphonic choral pieces. As in these the canonical melodies in Cantica drift from foreground to background, from cello to piano. The melodies are simple, diatonic and in traditional rhythms and the surface of the music in a way traditional. The intention of the composer with this easily understood expression is to lead the listeners ears to the many internal, proportional developments. The story is in a way hidden between the lines. In the myriads of rhythmic and tempo relations the Golden Mean (near to 2:3:5:8: et cetera) plays an important role, like in nature. Among the experiences giving by this natural phenomenon are - perhaps - the musical points to be found (?).Per Norgard(1997).
