Esperanza - Eremitkrebs-Tango (1997) Hermit Crab Tango, Esperanza is part of Norgard's Animals in Concert, a suite of piano pieces, so far comprised of:  1. A Tortoise's Tango (1984) - dur.: 4'  2. Light of a Night - Paul meets bird (1989) - dur.: 6'  3. Hermit Crab Tango - Esperanza (1997) - dur.: 5'  The pieces can be performed together or one by one.  In the1980s, quite a few “finds” turned up in Per Norgard's music. The material could be, say, a number of song birds' equilibrist melodic lines, the overtones of the ocean surf, or waltzing themes by the schizophrenic artist Adolf Wolfli (1864-1930). Or again, as heard here, it can be the rhythms and motifs of the tango and a Beatles song (with bird), explored in three independent piano pieces that form the Animals in Concert suite, about which the composer writes:  Programme note for Animals in Concert:  1.

Or again, as heard here, it can be the rhythms and motifs of the tango and a Beatles song (with bird), explored in three independent piano pieces that form the Animals in Concert suite, about which the composer writes:  “A Tortoise's Tango”: The tortoise as tango dancer must presumably possess certain rhythmic peculiarities, which I have chosen to express by letting the tune of the tortoise shuffle broadly, tripartite through the strict four partite time of tango.  Tortoise Tango was the original title of this piece, “written for Achilles” (the pianist Yvar Mikhashoff), for his so called tango project”, including new tangos for piano by composers from all over the world.  “Light of a Night (Paul meets bird)” was commissioned by pianist Aki Takahashi. It is a “reworked” arrangement for piano of the Beatles song ”Blackbird”. As some of us will recall, the Beatles on “The White Album” let the beautiful song to the blackbird be accompanied by an (apparently) live blackbird song. It is this authentic bird-motif world that in “Light of a Night” weaves itself into the Beatles melody and in turn is gradually infected by it, so that a completely new third entity ensues: a kind of Bird-rock ballad (or maybe it is a Beatle-bird?).  “Hermit Crab Tango (Esperanza)”: The tango situation is quite special for a Hermit Crab. It is a well-known fact that the hermit crab - this soft animal - must run the gauntlet among the many perils at the bottom of the sea when it must move hose. I have chosen to express the angers by a.

Wer den Tango begreift, versteht, der wird ein neues 'sowohl als auch' entdecken: Die Interpretation. Es gibt zwar Tempoangaben, Akzente, dynamische Hinweise, aber sie sind nur eine Moglichkeit von vielen. Diese 8 Tangos soll sich der Spieler ganz zu eigen machen: die finale Raserei des Timbaud-Tango auskosten, den Witz im Zirkus-Tango auf die Spitze treiben oder sich die Unerbittlichkeit des Tango Nuevo auf der Zunge zergehen lassen. Lisboa kann eine epische Habanera sein, eine romantische Fantasie oder ein gestrandeter Tango und Firpo-Tango - eine Verneigung vor dem unglaublichen Roberto Firpo - ist der Versuch, den Rio de la Plata mit der Donau zu verbinden. Tango Shanghai verbeugt sich vor den Naherinnen einer chinesischen Fabrik, die Tango-Kleidung und Schuhe fur die unzahligen Milongas in Europa herstellen. Casar ist einem Hund gewidmet, und Tango E bleibt ein Geheimnis.

One of the most exciting composers of his generation, Jonathan Cole was awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize in 1999.

In Go Tango, fragments of various imaginary tangos are juxtaposed in an attempt to kick start a realtango. As these attempts become increasingly frustrated, the possibility of a tango resulting from them seems ever more remote. In the coda, a gentle Habanera emerges as if from outside the preceding musical argument.

With their wide range of differing moods these pieces concentrate less on the typical rhythm of the Tango but convey something of the demonic forces inherent in this dance. Unusual playing techniques like plucked strings, clusters from wrist to elbow and the use of the voice further emphasize the composer's 'sinister' intentions. Piano solo.
