Chorale
(2001-02), for orchestra,
is a kind of musical
meditation on the chorale
Es ist genug from Bach's
cantata O Ewigkeit, du
Donnerwort, itself a
harmonisation of J R
Ahle's 1662 hymn. Nick
Kimberley's preface
outlines the context of
the Bach original and
refers to Alban Berg's
use of the chorale in his
Violin Concerto almost
300 years later. In
contrast to both of these
works, Lindberg's Chorale
has no extra-musical
agenda. The composer
explains that he took the
harmonic structure of the
chorale and embedded it
in his own harmonies.
“I make an analogy
with the rise and fall of
the tide. When the tide
is in, the sea-bed is
invisible; but when the
tide goes out, you see
the rock formation on the
sea-bed.” Tribute
is a short show-piece for
full orchestra composed
in 2004 as a gift to
celebrate the 20th
anniversary of Esa-Pekka
Salonen's debut with the
Los Angeles
Philharmonic.

Designed
to show two very

in the state of Virginia,
this programmatic work is
a study in musical
contrasts. The piece
illustrates the contrast
between a thriving

an area known for its
peaceful beauty.
Excellent for

Written to
help students understand
the concept of positions,
this entire piece can be
played by the violins,
violas, and cellos in 3rd
position with no
shifting! Playing in
positions is often a
challenging hurdle for
many young musicians yet
an important prerequisite
for advanced techniques.
The rhythms are kept very
simple so students can
focus on playing in a new
way. With a dark,
mature sound and named
after an ancient Roman
border river, this piece
allows plenty of room for
expression. To cross the
Rubicon is to pass a
point of no return and
enter into a new realm.
This work is both a
valuable teaching tool
for a new musical
adventure and a thrilling
concert piece that
students will be excited
to show off in concert.

The word
GONG is saturated with
associations: the
splendour of the Orient,
mysticism, drama, loud
metallic clangour,
violent impact, etc. The
present piece draws upon
all those connotations,
but it is primarily a
symphonic drama about the
life and behaviour of the
sun, our closest star and
prime source of life on
Earth. Describing the sun
in music is not a new
idea, of course; during a
visit to Greece, Carl
Nielsen was inspired by
the orbit of the sun and
its very un-Danish
ferocity and thus wrote
the Helios Overture. GONG
is a Helios Overture too,
of sorts, albeit more
abstract. Recent
astronomical research
shows, that the surface
of the sun reverberates
like a gong, in four
different, simultaneous
tempi (not directly
depicted in the score,
though); the sun looks
like a GONG, - the O in
the written work looks
like the sun; there is
even a solar research
group called GONG (Global
Oscillation Network
Group). Formally the
composition follows the
life and fate of the sun,
from the initial
explotional birth through
the hyper-activity as
energy source as we know
it today to the final,
predicted flaring up and
collapse into a so-called
white dwarf. But - being
a musical composition,
not an astrophysical
thesis - GONG is brought
to its compositional
conclusion by a real
concert-ending, a chord
taken from the middle of
the piece and sustained
over several bars, from
virtual nothingness to
full force.
