According to legend, Tolenas Springs, in Solano County, CA was once known as The Land of the Healing Waters due to the restorative powers of the water. This beautiful descriptive work begins with a slow, lyrical melody reminiscent of the flowing water, followed with the music evolving into a faster, heroic theme stated by the brass. The piece culminates in a riveting conclusion suggesting the healing waters washing over us. (Grade 4) Dur: 4:30.

Waterways (Vandveje) - Three Pieces for Piano by Per Nørgård (2008-09).

Written for Anne Marie Fjord Abildskov.

Preface / Programme Note
The three small piano pieces collectively called WATERWAYS was composed in 2008-2009 for Anne Marie Fjord Abildskov and they are dedicated to her.
You will hear traces of earlier piano works of mine – GROOVING from 1968 and ACHILLEUS AND THE TORTOISE from 1983 – in these new pieces.

The first movement is characterized by echo-like sounds, which also appear in GROOVING. Semitones are overlayered and soundsimultaniously, and then they are muted one by one to give a reminiscence of the initial sound. In this new movement an extra echo is added, like an extra skim of the stone
across the water surface – three skims, actually.

In the second movement you may hear traces of ACHILLEUS AND THE TORTOISE. The left and right hand both play arpeggio-like scale patterns. The music is shimmering, like a moiré on a water surface, with constantly changing, very short durations.
In the third movement the pattern of irregular durations is maintained and expanded, but only in fragments – and you may catch a glimpse of a new melody emerging.

Choral (Highlights)

SKU: HL.48187787

Composed by Pierre Boulez. Leduc. Classical. CD. Heugel & Cie #HE31629. Published by Heugel & Cie (HL.48187787).

14.0x0.227 inches. French.

French composer, Pierre Boulez (b. 1925) is best known for his serialist, experimental and electronic compositions. However, his work for Soprano, Mixed Choir and Piano Reduction, The Water Sun also remains regularly performed. Having studied at the Paris Conservatoire under Olivier Messiaen, Boulez soon began his own creative experiments. Amongst his earlier works was his cantata, The Water Sun, composed in the late 1940s. The work has since been revised many times. Based on poems by Rene Char, The Water Sun is atonal, exploiting many techniques. For advanced choirs and Soprano soloists, Boulez's The Water Sun provides a challenging yet riveting performance work..
