I
wrote my First Symphony
while studying in the
United States in 1955,
but the work has since
undergone two substantial
changes. The original
four-movement structure
changed into a
two-movement structure in
1988, with an expansive,
Romantic and pathos-laden
principal movement
followed by a grotesque
and ironic scherzo. This
version seems to owe
something to Dmitri
Shostakovich, one of the
idols of 1950s Modernism
in Finland. Later I found
that the structure was
out of balance, and in
2003 I added a lyrical
slow movement (Poetico)
between the two existing
ones. In order to
preserve the 1950s spirit
of the original work, I
based the slow movement
on solo song written
around the same time
(third movement from the
song cycle Die
Liebenden).

The
Sieidi concerto is in one
movement but divided into
several sections both
faster and slower, wildly
rhythmic, lyrical and
more static. For the
soloist it is extremely
demanding because he is
constantly having to
switch from one technique
to another - for djembe
and darabuka playing with
the hands differs
radically from that of
tom-tom or drumstick
technique or the playing
of pitched percussion
instruments such as the
marimba and
vibraphone.
Normal
ly, in a percussion
concerto, the soloist has
to play surrounded by a
huge battery of
instruments, often behind
the orchestra. In Sieidi
he uses only nine
instruments, and he is in
front of the orchestra
the whole time. The
instruments are in a row
in front of the platform,
starting with the djembe
on the far right (as
viewed by the audience)
and ending with the
tam-tam on the far left.
The soloist plays only
one instrument at a
time.
The title
of the concerto, Sieidi,
is Sami - a language
spoken in the northern
region of Finland, Sweden
and Norway known as
Lapland. It denotes an
ancient cult place such
as an unusually-shaped
rock, sometimes also a
special rock face or even
a whole mountain
fell.

Symphony
No. 6 for orchestra,
1997-99. Preface /
Program Note:... with the
Lord a day is like a
thousand years, and a
thousand years is like a
day(New Testament, 2
Peter 3:8)My SYMPHONY NO.
6 was commissioned by the
Danish National Radio
Symphony Orchestra, the
Gteborg Symphony
Orchestra and the Oslo
Philharmonic Orchestra,
to be premiered at the
millenium 2000.The
subtitle AT THE END OF
THE DAY can be understood
literally or it can mean
when all is added up.
However, in my opinion,
nothing ever quite adds
up, there is always
something missing, any
ending will be
provisional ...This
symphony appears to end
only a few minutes into
the first movement, the
first passage, as the
music fades away to
almost-silence, after a
start of flying colours.
But then there is still
something, a small motive
(first heard in the
initial sound-waves)
which reappears,
hesitant, but persistent,
and this embryo is what
leads on the musical
progression. An agitated
section of many
instrumental voices comes
next, until all the
voices become obsessed
with the same phrase, a
see-saw motive based on
thirds. This section
evolves into almost
martial ferocity, when
broken off by a tutti
descent into an extreme
bass-world (a bass-world
which actually permeates
the whole symphony,
emplyoing instruments
that I have never used
before: double-bass tuba,
double-bass trombone,
double-bass clarinet, and
bass flute).The second
movement, the second
passage, apparently takes
off where the first
passage ended, but now
the events are more
ambiguous, and the same
music may be perceived as
fast-moving one moment
and slow-moving the next.
This section is a kind of
passacaglia, the
characteristic baroque
bass-variation.Without a
break follows the third
and last passage, in a
contrasting high
register. The music is
rhythmically knotty as
well as freely flowing.
As in the beginning of
the symphony, a
never-ending descent or
fall breaks off the
events, and at the very
end a delta of new
beginnings, of other
worlds, is revealed
....The symphony is
dedicated to Helle, my
wife. - Per Norgard.

Le
Voyage Dans La Lune is a
continuous orchestral
score of approximately 14
minutes comprising two
outer fast sections and a
slower inner section of a
dream-like character. The
work is directly inspired
by the film Le Voyage
Dans La Lune (1902),
written and directed by
the pioneering French
film-maker, Georges
Méliès. Méliès was
influenced by 19th
century interests in
science and discoveries,
as well as the science
fiction of Jules Verne.
At the same time his work
seems fantastic, surreal
and satirical. Some
critics point out an
underlying critique of
colonial adventuring. The
plot centres on a group
of astronomers who decide
to launch a rocket to the
moon containing a handful
of their number. They
reach the moon (famously
landing on the moon’s
face) and then encounter
a strange race of aliens,
whom they battle and
destroy. The return to
earth involves a dramatic
descent, a plunge into
the ocean and then
celebratory dancing. The
film inhabits a surreal
and dream-like space, and
uses an idiosyncratic
visual language which
transforms reality. This
inspired an active
musical response in my
own score, which is by
turns abrupt, smooth,
lyrical and violent, and
expresses something of
the strange shifting
surfaces and multiple and
layered tempos evident in
the film. The canons in
the horns in the first
scene reflect the intense
arguments of the
astronomers as they
consider the project. The
slower inner section is
inspired by the scenes of
the industrial City
viewed from its rooftops
by the astronomers. It
also expresses the wonder
of the astronomers as
they see the earth rise
from the perspective of
the moon after their
arrival there. The music
of the final section is
in places conflicted,
reflecting the violent
encounters with the
moon’s inhabitants. It
moves into a more
harmonious phase at the
close to match the
celebrations upon the
astronomers’ return
from their adventuring.
The music could be
considered to be a
surreal mini-opera
without voices, voicing
instead the characters of
the silent screen. - Ed
Hughes.
