Per Nørgård's Maya Dances (-for her unborn son) 
for mixed chorus SATB (1979/1992) - English version.

Original Danish text by Ole Sarvig - from the opera Siddharta. English vocal version by Paula Hostrup-Jesse.
< br/>The two melodies of MAYA DANCES was originally composed for children’s chorus and mixed choir with orchestra, respectively, as part of the opera SIDDHARTA (1974-79). The children’s song (bars 1-27) was later incorporated into the first movement of the choral work WIE EIN KIND for mixed chorus from 1979-80 (printed edition WH 29552). 

Th e presentchoral version for SATB from 1992, edited by Ivan Hansen and the composer, is a combination of the two above mentioned songs from the opera. 

In the opera the children’s singing game describes the sad Queen Maya’s longing for a child. She senses the coming of a new age and is enlivened by dancing a fertility dance for the unborn prince Siddharta. Two themes alternate: the straightforward song of the children, and the comment of Prajapati (Maya’s sister) on Queen Maya’s dance.

Aurora Dances was commissioned by the Hong Kong-based Winter Band Festival, and consists of three movements, to be played without a break. ‘Aurora Borealis’ opens with florid woodwind figures and highlights different sections of the band in turn. The second movement ‘Aurora Australis’ leads to a sombre chorale, which builds to a full-band climax. The finale ‘Aurora Dances’ is characterised by rhythmic, dance-like themes. A central section features a contrasting legato melody, but this doesn’t dispel the energetic feel of the opening, which returns to close the work.

Aurora Dances werd geschreven in opdracht van het Winter Band Festival in Hongkong. Het werk bestaat uit drie delen die in elkaar overlopen. ‘Aurora Borealis’ opent met sierlijke motieven in het hout en bevat korte, herhaalde frasen waarin de verschillende secties afwisselend in de schijnwerpers worden gezet. Het melancholieke koraal van deel twee, ‘Aurora Australis’, ontvouwt zich tot een climax in het hele orkest. Het laatste deel, ‘Aurora Dances’ wordt gekenmerkt door ritmische, dansachtige thema’s. Een middengedeelte bevat een contrasterende legato melodie, maar die gaat niet ten koste van het energieke gevoel van de opening, waarmee het werk wordtafgesloten.

Aurora Dances wurde vom Winter Band Festival in Hongkong in Auftrag gegeben und wird ohne Pause gespielt. Aurora Borealis“ beginnt mit überschwänglichen Holzbläserfiguren und hebt abwechselnd verschiedene Sektionen des Blasorchesters hervor. Der zweite Satz, Aurora Australis“, führt zu einem düsteren Choral, der sich zu einem Höhepunkt des kompletten Orchesters aufbaut. Das Finale, Aurora Dances“, zeichnet sich durch rhythmische und tänzerische Themen aus. Ein zentraler Abschnitt ist durch eine kontrastierende Legato-Melodie geprägt, die jedoch die energiegeladene Stimmung des Anfangs nicht aufhebt, welche am Ende des Werkes wiederkehrt

Comman de du Festival hivernal des harmonies, basé Hong-Kong, Aurora Dances se compose de trois mouvements interprétés sans interruption. « Aurora Borealis » s’ouvre avec des figures élaborées aux bois et met en avant divers pupitres de l’orchestre. Le deuxième mouvement, « Aurora Australis », introduit un choral sombre qui aboutit un climax en tutti. Le final, « Aurora Dances », se caractérise par des thèmes rythmiques et dansants. Le passage central présente un contraste avec une mélodie legato, sans pourtant dissiper la sensation d’énergie du début qui revient pour clore la pièce.
