680160901043. Key: G
minor. Nordanvind
is a tour de force
symphonic rhapsody that
is built on three
Scandinavian folk songs.
Composer Carl Strommen
has composed these
Viking-influenced
melodies into a concert
setting that brings out
all of the history of the
Scandinavian people. The
piece is at times bold
and aggressive, at other
times beautiful. Carl
employs all of the
instrumental colors of
the concert band to
create a new work for
more advanced
ensembles. Modern
Scandinavians are
descendants of the
Vikings, an adventuresome
people who were known for
their love of the sea,
their naval prowess, and
as fierce fighters . The
Scandinavian Vikings were
warriors from Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden who
traded, raided and
settled in various parts
of Europe, Russia, the
North Atlantic islands,
and the northeastern
coast of North America
.Starting around 1850,
over one million Swedes
left their homeland for
the United States in
search of religious
freedom and open farm
land . Augustana College
was founded in 1860 by
graduates of Swedish
universities and is
located on the
Mississippi River in Rock
Island, Illinois . Home
of the
“Vikings,â€
Augustana College is the
oldest Swedish- American
institution of higher
learning in the United
States . This powerful
and lively piece takes
inspiration from Swedish
history and from Swedish
folk songs and hymns
.Havsdrake (Dragon of the
Sea)The Nordanvind or
“North Windâ€
blows a cold wind during
a journey of a group of
courageous Viking rowers
. The
“Dragon-shipâ€
or long ships designed
for raiding and war was a
sophisticated, fast ship
able to navigate in very
shallow water . To
musically portray these
magnificent seafaring
vessels, the director is
encouraged to use an
Ocean Drum (or a rain
stick) during the
introduction . Wind
players may consider
blowing air through their
instruments to suggest
the North wind . Adding
men’s voices to
accompany the haunting
low brass and percussive
“rowerâ€
sounds can be helpful in
creating the dark and
ominous portrayal of
Viking adventurers
.Slangpolska efter Byss -
KalleIn Sweden, a
“polska†is a
partner dance where the
dancers spin each other
(släng in Swedish
“to sling or
tossâ€) .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is attributed to
Byss-Kalle, who was a
notable Swedish folk
musician, specifically a
nyckelharpa player .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is a traditional
“polskaâ€
dance song most often
played on the Nyckelharpa
or keyed fiddle and is
commonly heard in pubs
and at festive events
throughout Sweden .
Approximately 10,000
nyckelharpa players live
in Sweden today, and the
Swedish and the American
Nyckelharpa Associations
are dedicated to this
Swedish National
instrument . The director
is encouraged to share
video and audio examples
of the nyckelharpa
playing the original
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen
Vara (Children of the
Heavenly Father)Tryggare
Kan Ingen Vara Is a
traditional Swedish
melody, possibly of
German roots, and was
believed to be arranged
as a hymn by the Swedish
hymn writer, Karolina
Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg
(1832–1903) . As a
daughter of a Swedish
Lutheran minister, she
began writing poems as a
teenager and is said to
have written over 1,700
different texts . There
are two different
accounts as to the
inspiration for this hymn
. The first story is that
Lina (as she was called)
wrote the hymn to honor
her father and to say
thank you to him for
raising her and
protecting her . A second
belief is of her
witnessing the tragic
death of her father . She
and her father were on a
boat, when a wave threw
her father overboard . It
was said that the
profound effect of
watching her father drown
is what caused Lina to
write the text to this
hymn . Although this is a
treasured song to people
of Swedish descent
everywhere, it speaks to
all people about a father
tending and nourishing
his children, and
protecting them from evil

680160918058. The
awardee of two Guggenheim
fellowships, Julia Perry
studied composition with
Luigi Dallapiccola and
Nadia Boulanger, and
conducted her works on a
tour throughout Europe
with the Vienna
Philharmonic and the BBC
Orchestra. She would
become one of the first
African-American female
composers to have an
orchestral work performed
by the New York
Philharmonic. Although
she had an auspicious and
promising career in her
early life, it was
tragically cut short by a
series of strokes leading
to partial paralysis and
eventually, her death, at
age 55 in
1979.Perry’s
catalog is widely varied,
featuring thirteen
symphonies, numerous
chamber and solo works,
pieces for band, choral
and vocal music, and four
operas. Her Violin
Concerto, completed in
1968, shows the influence
of Dallapiccola’s
teachings: sharp harmonic
dissonances organized
around specific pitch
centers, short repetitive
patterns that establish
significant musical
materials, and
contrapuntal textures.
Her fastidious
performance markings in
the solo violin part
indicate her profound
understanding of the
instrument. Angular,
muscled, and sparkling by
turns, this piece is a
sophisticated entry to
the serious violinist's
concert repertoire.There
is no evidence or
documentation that the
Violin Concerto was ever
premiered or performed
during her lifetime,
despite the fact that the
composer prepared a full
score, piano reduction
and orchestral parts.
Regrettably, this is the
case with the majority of
her works composed in the
final decade of her
life. What is
extraordinary about Julia
Perry’s musical
career was the
astonishing success she
attained in her early
years. In her youth she
studied piano, voice,
violin and cello. She
began to compose in her
teenage years, her first
publication being a
choral work in 1947 by
Carl Fischer. Her Stabat
Mater was published in
1951 and would become one
of her most often
performed pieces, with
performances in Europe
and the United States. In
1953 she was awarded a
Guggenheim fellowship to
study with the Italian
composer Luigi
Dallapiccola, first at
the Berkshire Music
Center in Tanglewood,
later in Florence, Italy.
During this time, she
also pursued studies with
Nadia Boulanger in Paris
and was awarded a second
Guggenheim fellowship.
She studied conducting at
this time, touring Europe
in 1957 to conduct her
own works with the Vienna
Philharmonic and the BBC
Orchestra. During her
European sojourns, she
learned and mastered
French, German and
Italian. She would become
one of the first
African-American female
composers to have an
orchestral work performed
by the New York
Philharmonic.Perryâ€
s circumstances would
change dramatically once
she reached forty years
of age, having returned
permanently to the United
States. At some point in
the spring of 1970, she
suffered the first of two
strokes that would
paralyze her right side
and confine her to a
wheelchair for the rest
of her life. Nonetheless,
she continued to compose
and to promote her works
with publishers and
conductors. A second
stroke contributed to her
death in 1979 at age 55.
She likely endured harsh
ethnic and gender
discrimination in the
course of her career, and
her later years would
witness a period of
extreme civil unrest.
These matters and the
significance of music in
her life are undoubtedly
what led her to say,
“Music has a great
role to play in
establishing the
brotherhood of
man.â€Perry’s
catalog is widely varied,
featuring thirteen
symphonies, numerous
chamber and solo works,
pieces for band, choral
and vocal music, and four
operas. Her Violin
Concerto, completed in
1968, is indicative of
the influence of
Dallapiccola’s
teachings: sharp harmonic
dissonances organized
around specific pitch
centers, short repetitive
patterns that establish
significant musical
materials, and
contrapuntal textures.
The work is a single
movement of 392 measures
organized around three
alternating tempos: Slow
(Å’ = 60), Moderate
(Å’ = 84) and Fast
(Å’ = 120). The
opening thirty-measure
cadenza for the solo
violin introduces most of
the thematic material for
the piece. The
orchestration commonly
features antiphonal
writing between
orchestral groups, for
example, strings
alternating with brass,
or strings alternating
with winds. The harp and
piano generally appear as
solo instruments, rather
than as members of the
orchestra. Her fastidious
performance markings in
the solo violin part
indicate her profound
understanding of the
instrument.There is no
evidence or documentation
that the Violin Concerto
was ever premiered or
performed during her
lifetime, despite the
fact that the composer
prepared a full score,
piano reduction and
orchestral parts.
Regrettably, this is the
case with the majority of
her works composed in the

Sonata No. 4 from the
years 1962-1964 is
dedicated to the memory
of Fiser's friend, the
pianist Antonin Jemelik,
who died tragically. As a
tribute to their
friendship the composer
incorporated into the
introduction a quotation
from their favourite
work, Piano Sonata No.
10, Op. 70, by Alexander
Scriabin. The tragedy of
the death of the
composer's friend
pervades the emotionally
intense passage of unison
octaves which follows the
three-bar quotation. From
a compositional point of
view this work is a
masterpiece of the
mid-Sixties. Written as
one movement, the piece
is divided into numerous
mutually contrasting
segments which themselves
are clearly grouped into
two sections, exposition
and development. The
individual themes are
introduced in the first
section and thematically
expanded in the second
section. The motif
treatment lies almost
exclusively in the
fragmenting or curtailing
of the theme, or in the
use of a combination of
several themes, for the
most part brief and
eloquent. This
compositional method,
together with a clear-cut
manner of execution,
mainly semitonal melody
and sharply contrastive
dynamics, lends force and
transparency to the
piece. Piano Sonata No. 4
was completed in 1964
together with Symphonic
Fresco, Concerto da
camera for piano and
orchestra and Fifteen
Prints after Durer's
Apocalypse and has earned
its rightful place
alongside them as
masterpieces of Fiser's
oeuvre.
The work
was first performed by
Pavel Stepan in Prague's
Rudolfinum in 1965. The
new setting for this
piece is based on the
single edition to date
(Panton, 1969); only with
regard to a few
inconsistencies in the
score was it necessary to
consult the composer's
manuscript (kept at the
National Museum - Czech
Museum of Music). $26.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

English. Handelâ??
s â??Semeleâ?, which
premiered in February
1744, is based on an
adapted version of
William Congreveâ??s
opera libretto titled
â??The Story of
Semeleâ?, originally
published in 1706.
However, neither Handel
nor his librettist
referred to
â??Semeleâ? as an
opera or an oratorio,
which, according to the
understanding at the
time, would have required
a biblical and/or
Christian subject matter.
Contemporary audiences
also disagreed on the
genre. The problematic
classification as an
oratorio has persisted
into the present day,
likely due to the edition
labeled as such by
Chrysander. The â??Halle
Handel Editionâ? (HHA)
distances itself from
this classification and,
considering the available
sources, refrains from
assigning a genre
label.
Congreve
deviates from the
mythological source
multiple times in order
to create tensions among
the characters. The
desired marriage between
Semele and Athamas, whom
she does not love, is an
addition by Congreve to
provoke the envy of her
sister Ino, who desires
Athamas herself.
Therefore, Ino sees her
own advantage in
Semeleâ??s abduction by
Jupiter. While
Jupiterâ??s wife Juno
decides to destroy Semele
out of jealousy for his
relationship with her,
Jupiter brings Ino to his
palace to console Semele.
The vengeful Juno takes
advantage of Inoâ??s
presence and transforms
into her likeness,
persuading Semele to
carry out a plan that
later proves fatal. In
the end, Ino emerges as
the winner, as she is
able to convince their
father, Cadmus, to marry
her to Athamas. The
appearance of Apollo in
the final scene to
announce that Semeleâ??s
immortal son Bacchus was
saved from her ashes
provides little
consolation. However,
this twist allows the
drama to conclude with
exuberant joy and a
magnificent final chorus
after the tragic scenes
in the third act,
culminating in the death
of the
protagonist.
Hande
lâ??s autograph score
shows significant
deviations from and
numerous revisions of the
original version
premiered. All surviving
early versions, the
musical movements deleted
before the premiere, and
the version of the
December 1744, are given
in the appendix to the
HHA.
