To Nocturner (2001) - for Chamber Choir (12 or 24 Voices). Texts by Ole Sarvig and Ib Michael. English version available: KP01444E Programme note: These two choral pieces for 12 voices consists of radical recompositions on of earlier themes: in Summer's Sleep we hear new combinations of two 'Sarvig melodies' from the 1970s (one of which is now in the Danish Hymnbook under the title aret, The Year): Michael's Night is based on an earlier, simple choral song (Star Mirror,1987), now for 12 voices and composed such that an original idea of simultaneously displaced, opposite motions cf. the poem) comes out as desired. Of the Nocturnes Norgard writes: Summer's Sleep wascomposed to stanzas of Ole Sarvig's poem The Year (from the collection Forstadsdigte ('Suburban Poems')) and forms the picture of the summer of life, which is asleep - while the heaven seed waits for the summer wind (invisible to every mind). The many layers of text are expressed musically in a multilayered choral texture with 'looks' up and down through the various tempo and time-worlds: summer sleep, summer dream. The second nocturne, Michael's Night, takes its name from the author Ib Michael, whose poem Star Mirror (from the collection Himmelbegravelse ('Sky Funeral') (1986) I pushed/coaxed him to expand from one to nine stanzas. The four selected stanzas set in the nocturne focus on the pan-erotic elements of the moonlit, starlit night. With the titles I have chosen I have stressed the mythic layer of the text, the summer night not as a dream but as sensual reality. The two nocturnes are dedicated to Ivan Hansen on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday on 25th February 2003, out of gratitude for over a quarter of a century of inspiring collaboration.

Real music using only the first octave! Absolutely stunning and gorgeous best describes this marvelous ballad created from the pen of noted composer James Swearingen. His ability to make a band sound mature beyond their years is a talent that we've all come to appreciate many times over. Although written for the beginning band, more mature groups will also find A Starlit Night to be a rewarding musical addition to their next concert program. Breathtaking!

This tiny piece was written as a response to hearing the premiere of Nicola LeFanu's momentous orchestral work The Crimson Bird on 17 February 2017. Nicola was my teacher and supervisor from 1986 to 1989, during my studies at King's College London. Although my formal study with her lasted just these three years, her influence on my creative life has been immense and invaluable, and continues to be felt in every piece I write. Luna ... is marked 'A starlit lullaby'. Its final notes, E and F, supply the letters of Nicola's surname missing from the title. The work was recorded by Philippa Harrison on Return of the Nightingales-Music for solo piano (Prima Facie 2017). - Sadie Harrison.
