Organ Symphony
No. 2 (2017) was written
for and is dedicated to
German organist Philip
Hartmann. In all of my
works that employ
larger-scale forms (not
just organ compositions),
I am continually looking
for different ways of
providing the form and
structure. My first organ
symphony (2013) comprised
three larger movements
that charted a
progression from dark to
light. By contrast, this
second organ symphony
comprises 12 shorter
movements that together
build a larger structure
out of varied emotional
states. Although the
movements are different
in character, there are
connections of harmony
and motive across them.
One goal behind this work
is that it be suitable
for effective performance
on almost any organ,
small or large. Most
organ symphonies require
a large instrument. By
contrast, this piece can
be played effectively on
even a small organ with a
limited number of stops
(even a one manual organ
with an octave pedal
board). It can also be
very effective on a large
symphonic organ with many
different colors and a
huge tutti. Registration
is left to the
performer's discretion,
and the organist is
strongly encouraged to
use the full extent of
whatever resources are
available.

Symphony
No. 6 for orchestra,
1997-99. Preface /
Program Note:... with the
Lord a day is like a
thousand years, and a
thousand years is like a
day(New Testament, 2
Peter 3:8)My SYMPHONY NO.
6 was commissioned by the
Danish National Radio
Symphony Orchestra, the
Gteborg Symphony
Orchestra and the Oslo
Philharmonic Orchestra,
to be premiered at the
millenium 2000.The
subtitle AT THE END OF
THE DAY can be understood
literally or it can mean
when all is added up.
However, in my opinion,
nothing ever quite adds
up, there is always
something missing, any
ending will be
provisional ...This
symphony appears to end
only a few minutes into
the first movement, the
first passage, as the
music fades away to
almost-silence, after a
start of flying colours.
But then there is still
something, a small motive
(first heard in the
initial sound-waves)
which reappears,
hesitant, but persistent,
and this embryo is what
leads on the musical
progression. An agitated
section of many
instrumental voices comes
next, until all the
voices become obsessed
with the same phrase, a
see-saw motive based on
thirds. This section
evolves into almost
martial ferocity, when
broken off by a tutti
descent into an extreme
bass-world (a bass-world
which actually permeates
the whole symphony,
emplyoing instruments
that I have never used
before: double-bass tuba,
double-bass trombone,
double-bass clarinet, and
bass flute).The second
movement, the second
passage, apparently takes
off where the first
passage ended, but now
the events are more
ambiguous, and the same
music may be perceived as
fast-moving one moment
and slow-moving the next.
This section is a kind of
passacaglia, the
characteristic baroque
bass-variation.Without a
break follows the third
and last passage, in a
contrasting high
register. The music is
rhythmically knotty as
well as freely flowing.
As in the beginning of
the symphony, a
never-ending descent or
fall breaks off the
events, and at the very
end a delta of new
beginnings, of other
worlds, is revealed
....The symphony is
dedicated to Helle, my
wife. - Per Norgard.

this work is in no small

quartet's sense of

by two
end-of-civilization
novels the composer was
reading prior to

quartet unfolds in a
single movement, loosely
based on plot lines in
both novels. One of the
novels includes a
Traveling Symphony, an
assortment of musicians

and orchestral
arrangements of popular
music alongside
performances of
Shakespeare plays,
reminiscent of medieval
troupes traveling the
countryside in

also singing and 'stage
whispering' fragments of
King Lear and other text

This stunning
composition by Robert W.
Smith is actually a full
symphony in smaller

was composed to
commemorate the Battle of
Bad Axe, the historic
last Indian-American
battle fought east of the
Mississippi River.
Written in four
descriptive movements
entitled Foreshadows,
Warriors, Carnage, and
Elegy, the piece evokes
powerful sounds and
imagery through
contemporary scoring
techniques while being
technically accessible to

Men
delssohn described his
1840 work “Lobgesang”
as “a symphony for
chorus and orchestra”.
It is now firmly
established in the
standard repertoire of
the major oratorio
choirs. For many choirs,
Lobgesang remains on
their wishlist of works
they want to sing. But
what can be done if the
choir is to small, the
budget is limited, and
the performance space is
tight?Here, the
experienced arranger and
orchestral musician
Joachim Linckelmann
offers an excellent
tried-and-tested
solution. In his
arrangement for soloists,
chorus, and chamber
orchestra, he has reduced
the wind instruments from
the original 17 to just 7
single instruments. The
string parts remain
largely identical to the
original, but can also be
played by smaller
numbers. And the vocal
parts (soloists and
choir) remain unaltered
in this arrangement, so
that they can be sung
from the piano reductions
and choral scores of the
Carus Urtext
edition.•,Major

Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart wrote his
Hafner Symphony K. 385 in
the summer of 1782 on the
occasion of the elevation
into the nobility of his
friend and patron Sigmund
Hafner. Next to the
well-known movements,
this version (A) also
contained the March K.
408/2 (385a) and possibly
a second, no longer
extant minuet. Called
Hafner=Musique by Mozart,
the work was
unquestionably a serenade
at first. In early 1783
Mozart then reduced the
Hafner Music for his
subscription concert at
the Vienna Burgtheater on
23 March 1783 to a
four-movement symphony.
This is the form in which
the work was first
printed in 1785 (Version
B). For a further
performance, Mozart added
flute and clarinet parts
to the symphony. In 1805,
this version (C) was
published by Andre in
Offenbach, who thus began
making it known.The
primary sources of the
present Breitkopf Urtext
edition are the
autographs to K. 385 and
K. 408/2 (385a). It thus
becomes possible for the
first time to play all
three versions of the
Hafner Music, since the
variants of Versions A
and B can be easily
discerned through
indications in footnotes
and notes in small
print.

Leoš
Janácek’s symphonic
fragment Dunaj (The
Danube) dates from the
period of the composition
of “Katya Kabanova”.
The composer was not
concerned with a
musical-picturesque
description of a river
landscape, but with the
mythical link between
women’s destinies and
water.
“Pale
green waves of the
Danube! There are so many
of you, and one followed
by another. You remain
interlocked in a
continuous flow. You
surprise yourselves where
you ended up – on the
Czech shores! Look back
downstream and you will
have an impression of
what you have left behind
in your haste. It pleases
you here. Here I will
rest with my symphony.”
Thus Leoš Janácek
described the idea behind
the composition project
which occupied him in
1923/24. However, after
further work, it remained
incomplete in 1926. His
“symphony” entitled
Dunaj has survived as a
continuously-notated,
four-movement bundle of
sketches in score form.
It is one of the works
which occupied him until
his death. The scholarly
reconstruction by the two
Brno composers Miloš
Štedron and Leoš Faltus
closely follows the
original
manuscript.
A
whole conglomeration of
motifs stands behind the
incomplete work. What at
first seems like a
counterpart to
Smetana’s Vltava, in
fact doesn’t turn out
to be a musical depiction
of the Danube. On the
contrary, the fateful
link between the destiny
of women, water and death
permeates the range of
motifs found in the work.
It seems to be no
coincidence that
Janácek, whilst working
on the opera Katya
Kabanova, in which the
Volga, as the river
bringing death plays an
almost mythical role,
planned a Danube
symphony, and that its
content was linked with
the destiny of women: in
the sketches, two poems
were found which may have
provided the stimulus for
several movements of the
symphony. He copied a
poem by Pavla Kriciková
into the second movement,
in which a girl remarks
that whilst bathing in a
pond, she was observed by
a man. Filled with shame,
the young naked woman
jumps into the water and
drowns. The outer
movements likewise draw
on the poem “Lola” by
the Czech writer Sonja
Špálová, published
under the pseudonym
Alexander Insarov. This
is about a prostitute who
asks for her heart’s
desire: she is given a
palace, but then goes on
a long search for it and
is finally no longer
wanted by anyone. She
suffers, feels cold and
just wants a warm fire.
Janácek adds his remark
“she jumps into the
Danube” to the
inconclusive
ending.
To these
tangible literary models
is added Adolf
Veselý’s verbal
account which reports
that the composer wanted
to portray “in the
Danube, the female sex
with all its passions and
driving forces”. The
third movement is said to
characterise the city of
Vienna in the form of a
woman.
It is
evident that in his
composition, Janácek was
not striving for a
simple, natural lyricism.
The River Danube is
masculine in the Slavic
language – “ten
Dunaj” – and assumes
an almost mythical
significance in the
national character,
indeed often also a role
bringing death. The four
movements are motivically
conceived. Elements of
sound painting, small
wave-like figures in the
first movement, motoric,
driving movements in the
third are obvious
evocations of water. And
the content and the
literary level are easy
to discover. The
“tremolo of the four
timpani”, which was
amongst Janácek’s
first inspirations,
appears in the second
movement. It is not
difficult to retrace in
it the fate of the
drowning bather. The oboe
enters lamentoso towards
the end of the movement
over timpani playing
tremolo, its descending
figure is taken over by
the flute, then upper
strings and intensified
considerably. The motif
of drowning – Lola’s
despair – returns again
in the fourth movement in
the clarinet, before the
work ends abruptly and
dramatically.
One
special effect is the use
of a soprano voice in the
motor-driven third
movement. The singer
vocalises mainly in
parallel with the solo
oboe, but also in
dialogue with other parts
such as the viola
d’amore, which Janácek
used in several late
works as a sort of
“voice of
love”.

Rihards
Dubra (born Latvia, 1964)
wrote his Symphony
No. 2 in 2014. It is
a large-scale work, over
30 minutes long, in three
movements (titled
'Visio', 'Cantus', 'Et
vidi...'), for large
orchestra comprising
triple wind and brass,
percussion and
harp.
Speaking of
symphonic writing, the
composer says: 'I don't
think a symphony should
speak about small,
everyday things and
issues; it should speak
of global, fundamental
and substantial things.
Only then does it justify
the name 'symphony'. It
must be something
serious.'
