Illuminatio
ns - Capriccio For Flute
And Orchestra was
composed by Erik Norby in
1977. Programme Note: The
title should rightly be
pronounced in French
(same spelling), as the
piece was composed for
and is dedicated to
French flute virtuoso
Jean-Pierre Rampal, who
premiered ILLUMINATIONS
in connection
withhimreceiving the
Danish Sonnings Musikpris
in 1978. The title
reflects my endeavour to
create different
illuminative effects in
sound, for which the
flute is an excellent
medium, with its apparent
ability to transform
light phenomena into
musical shapes. Tue music
in ILLUMINATIONS
sometimes sounds like
glittering reflections,
sometimes like a roaring
bonfire. The absence of
ordinaryflutes in the
orchestra further enables
the soloist to shine
above a darker orchestral
background. Several
motives and shapes are
illuminated along the
way, and the music
progresses in
kaleidoscopic pattems of
prismatic refractions.
Erik Norby.
