note
A Light Hour
is for ‘any number
of percussion
musicians’ (but a
minimum of ten). The
duration is about 60
minutes. The
instrumentation is in
principle open, as long
as percussion is used
within the three types
specified in the score:
skin, metal and wood.
Each musicianuses two
sound sources with two
different sounds, one of
which is bright (or
light) and the other
dark. Certain passages
also include tuned
percussion instruments
– vibraphone,
xylophone, marimba,
gamelan, glockenspiel,
steel drums, crotales and
the
like.
The
work integrates and
combines a number of
rhythms that
Nørgård has
used in percussion works
since the 1970s, for
example in Early Spring
Dance (for choir and
percussion), and
percussion works like I
Ching, Easy Beats,
Whirls, Zigzag, Nemo
Dynamo and Echo Zone
I-II-III.
Special
“tone-feasts”
(the composer’s
term) – followed by
a rest – are an
recognizable

lodic feature of the
work.: the first minute
end with a short
tone-feast (and a rest),
the first four minutes
end with a tone-feast
lasting a minute (and a
rest), the first quarter
of an hour ends with a
tone-feast of four
minutes (and a rest)
– and the work ends
with a tone-feast lasting
quarter of an hour (and a
rest, when the work is
over
...).
The
first 15 minutes have a
bright, light character
throughout, and alternate
between
rhythms
and melodic play. The
following 15 minutes are
more insistent and
decidedly
percu
ssion-based, Afro-Cuban,
whereas the third quarter

BACH TO THE FUTUREFor
many years I have been
specially fascinated by
three of the preludes of
Bach's Well-tempered
Piano, and I wish with
this concerto-version for
percussion-duo and
orchestra to highlight
some of the structural
aspects of these pieces:
It is my belief that
there is a tradition in
the music history, that
makes it possible to let
certain germs in an
earlier period unfold
into new, but not
heterogenious, dimensions
of a perhaps several
hundred years later phase
of the tradition.This
concerto is a result of
several years
collaboration with Uffe
Savery and Morten Friis
(Safri-Duo), as well in
original compositions -
(Resonances,
Repercussion, Resume in
EchoZone I-III) as in
arrangements of the 3
Bach preludes, preparing
for the enormous
stylistic challenges of
this work.A few
introductory comments to
each movement:I Movement:
The archetypal sequence
of broken chords within
C-major has established
itself as almost a
cultural code, allowing
the composer of 1996 to
tell his tale-in-tones
only by stressing and
colouring the tones in
the original piece
without changing the
pitches or (relative)
durations as a
'palimpsest' containing
as well the old as the
new musical tale
simultaneously. Later in
the movement, this
singleline is multiplied
by the, till then
discrete, but permanently
pervading, proportion -
throughout the piece -
very close to the 'Golden
Section'(= 3:5:8.t.i:8
before repetition, 5
before starting anew from
the deepest tone, 3 as
the rest etc. unchanged).
The 3 tonal levels as
well as the 3 relative
speeds are treated
according to these
proportions for certain
passages, but even in
those the main focal
point is directed at the
freely invented melody
(by me) incarnating
itself solely by the
unpermutad sequels of the
original prelude.II
Movement: One feature of
the F sharp-prelude
pervades all the six
minutes-long second
movement: A 4 times
identical rhythmic
pattern = 6:4:3:2:3:4:6 -
as an hourglass-shaped
timeshape - inspired me
by the closeness of this
pattern to a shape within
the infinity-drumming of
my invention, called
Wide-Fan and Narrow-Fan ,
referring to pattern
consisting of
8:4:2:1:2:4:8, the
familiarity with the
above - quoted one being
obvious. New and old
elaborations of this
pattern-pair permeates
the movement, especially
since the Safri-Duo by
their performance of my
Repercussion had
augmented my appetite for
including this idiom in a
wider context:III
Movement: Without the
existence of the
d-minor-prelude I doubt
that I would have dared
to write a work like
this, since it is the
inexhaustible, rare
quality and pecularity of
this piece, which has
stimulated my feeling of
wonder and 'modernity'
(or: eternity!) of this
piece, of which I know of
no equal in its special
respect: the perpetual
ambiguity of melodic
foothold in the rhythmic
ostinato of a broken
descending triad, co. $82.50 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |
