Greta

Children for a New World was written at a time when many children worldwide skipped school and took to the streets to campaign for better climate control. This youth movement ‘Fridays for Future’ was inspired by the Swedish student Greta Thunberg and helps everybody to think about the future for us and our children. Young people are important for the future of our music bands too. Wind bands can play a significant part in children’s social and musical lives and are an ideal way to initiate cooperation between primary schools and the local community. Children for a New World is a good way to integrate class bands into local wind bands and provides a unique opportunity to perform in a larger ensemble. Accompanied by a youth or adult band or even both the class band will be at the centre of the performance.In Children for a New World you may recognise fragments from Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 ‘From the New World’. The conclusion of the piece also includes the famous Ode to Joy a theme composed by Beethoven for his ninth symphony a melody that has become synonymous for friendship and peace all over the world.Children for a New World was written at a time when many children worldwide skipped school and took to the streets to campaign for better climate control.

Programme Note Per Nørgård LIBRO PER NOBUKO (1992)LIBRO PER NOBUKO (BOOK FOR NOBUKO) consists of two pieces written for Nobuko Imai the Japanese violist.Dedicated Nobuko Imai (1) and Bo [Vincens Steensen-Leth] (2) 1: Sonata 'The Secret Melody' (1a Prologue 1b Roaming 1c Singing 1d Playing 1e Epilogue) 2: Bofast (in English: Resident)The first (and longest) piece is a sonata in five movements called LA MELODIA SEGRETA (THE SECRET MELODY). The title is borrowed from a book by Trinh Xuan Thuan the Vietnamese astrophysicist. Of the mysterious and inexplicable order of the universe he writes: Nature sends us the notes of a music formed by a melody that will remain secretforever.The five movements of the sonata circumscribe a hidden melody: a clear melodic shape appears often enough but it soon reveals itself as being part of another superior melody - and so on. In this labyrinthine way the three middle movements framed by a short prologue and epilogue unfold different moods (roaming singing playing) in an eternal hide-and-seek of the melody (melodies).The second piece for Nobuko BOFAST (RESIDENT) is dedicated to Bo Vincens Steensen-Leth in gratitude of the many and selfless services he has rendered to the musical audiences at the locality of Langeland Denmark. The piece remains faithful to one single motif a 'resident' like Bo and his ancestors who have been residents at the manor house Steensgaard for over 400 years.Per Nørgård 1997
