Vastness of the Universe
Jonas Hallgrimsson
(1807-1845).
About
Jónas
HalgrÃmsson
(1807-1845) was an
Icelandic poet, author
and naturalist, who is
considered one of
Iceland's most renowned
poets. Considered a
Romantic writer, the
strong imagery in his
poetry was influenced
heavily by the landscapes
around him.The imagery,
excitement, and curiosity
of the universe leapt off
the page and the music
almost wrote itself.Â
Reflecting on the cosmos
and origin of the
heavens, the poetry
elicits excitement and
stirs spatial imagery -
...speeding spark of
light, ...wings swifter
than wind..., ...I
watched the stars...rise
from the still stream of
heaven... The pure and
almost child-like
fascination with the
universe and its
expansion and progression
fuels the perpetual
rhythm of the work as it
continually pushes
forward.A good friend
asked if I would write a
song for her ensemble.
The original voicing, for
SAB choir, contained
parameters in that it had
to be three-part with a
limited range in the Bass
part. With these
stipulations I began to
write. I searched for
something that would be
exciting for them and
landed on Jonas
Halgrimsson’s
writings. I believe it is
equally as exciting,
accessible and
challenging for treble
choirs.Note to the
DirectorTruly consider
how the work can come to
‘life’ off
the page. Rise and fall
with phrase and sometimes
each note. The magic
exists beyond the ink on
the page!Consideration to
range, tessitura, and
content was all
considered as part of
this process in creating
music that is accessible
to all programs and
ensembles.Accompaniment
NoteThe accompaniment can
look intimidating, but
please feel free to alter
the pulsing eighth notes
in the left hand with the
eighth notes in the
right-hand so it creates
a compound rhythm. So
long as the momentum of
the work is pressed
onward, you are doing
this work
justice. About JÃ

this work justice.
