Score: WH30964

Programme note

A Light Hour is for ‘any number of percussion musicians’ (but a minimum of ten). The duration is about 60 minutes. The instrumentation is in principle open, as long as percussion is used within the three types specified in the score: skin, metal and wood. Each musicianuses two sound sources with two different sounds, one of which is bright (or light) and the other dark. Certain passages also include tuned percussion instruments – vibraphone, xylophone, marimba, gamelan, glockenspiel, steel drums, crotales and the like. 

The work integrates and combines a number of rhythms that Nørgård has used in percussion works since the 1970s, for example in Early Spring Dance (for choir and percussion), and percussion works like I Ching, Easy Beats, Whirls, Zigzag, Nemo Dynamo and Echo Zone I-II-III. 

Special “tone-feasts” (the composer’s term) – followed by a rest – are an recognizable 
me lodic feature of the work.: the first minute end with a short tone-feast (and a rest), the first four minutes end with a tone-feast lasting a minute (and a rest), the first quarter of an hour ends with a tone-feast of four minutes (and a rest) – and the work ends with a tone-feast lasting quarter of an hour (and a rest, when the work is over ...). 

The first 15 minutes have a bright, light character throughout, and alternate between 
rhythms and melodic play. The following 15 minutes are more insistent and decidedly 
percu ssion-based, Afro-Cuban, whereas the third quarter of A Light Hour moves in the.

Fall ing... in love is the musical narrative of an ancient Antwerp folktale. A young boy and his lovely lady decided to get married. Their passion was stronger than ever. However, the parents of the young folks did not agree: their love became forbidden, and a marriage was impossible. Driven by despair, the young couple climbed up the tower of the cathedral. The fiancees jumped hand in hand, shattering their endless love into 1000 golden pieces. Seized by sadness and remorse, the families repented. As a means of penance and reconciliation, and to honor their children, they placed a monument close to the cathedral: a tombstone made out of 1000 golden pieces. Nothing can bring people closer together than the power of love.
