Symphony No. 8
for Orchestra (2011) by
Per Norgard. Premiered on
September 19, 2013 by the
Helsinki Philharmonic
Orchestra and John
Storgards. Programme
note: The first movement
opens with sculptural
rising and falling
scales. Visually the
sound may call to mind,
say, spirals or ziggurats
(temple towers). Brisk
music leads to the climax
of the movement.The
second movement is slow
and sensually melodious
and has three interludes
of greater timbral
melodic action. The third
movement begins very
restlessly but towards
the climax the tempo
gradually begins to
accelerate. An
oscillating
pianissimomurmur ends the
movement - and the
symphony. Symphony no. 8
is commissioned by
Helsinki Philharmonic
Orchestra and is besides
the Orchestra dedicated
to the conductor John
Storgards. Per Norgard
(2012).
