English comments: In 2003, I wrote Introspeccion for solo clarinet and, although I had already used the clarinet many years ago (in 1963 with a Duo for clarinet and piano), I felt the need to return to that instrument again: malleable, dynamic, with a considerable tessitura and an expressive and effective timbre both in pianissimo and fortissimo.
Apart from the Piano concerto I wrote in 2003, over the last four years I have preferred to work with chamber music. In 2005 I used the clarinet again, this time alongside the classic string quartet, a combination that has always caught my attention. So this is how the Quinteto de la Sala de Llevant arose, as a work designed in a single tempo that I think follows along the same lines marked by my compositions in recent years, in the sense that all superfluous elements are removed to leave a strict musical discourse that I hope can be considered markedly expressive.
The Quinteto de la Sala de Llevant was first performed on 29 June 2005 at the Sala de Llevant in the Library of Catalonia, when I loaned my musical archives to this institution. It was played by Josep Fuster (to whom the work is dedicated) on the clarinet and the Glinka Quartet (Ala Voronkova, Guerassim Voronkov, violins, Bernat Bofarull, viola, Nabi Cabestany).--The author
Comentarios del Espanol: En el ano 2003, escribo Introspeccion para clarinete solo y, si bien ya habia usado el clarinete hace muchos anos (en 1963 con un Duo para clarinete y piano) senti la necesidad de volver al mismo instrumento: ductil, agil, de una tesitura considerable y de un timbre expresivo y eficaz tanto en el pianissimo como en el fortisimo.
Exceptuando el Concierto para piano del 2003, en estos ultimos cuatro anos he trabajado preferentemente la musica de camara. En el 2005 vuelvo a usar el clarinete, ahora junto al clasico cuarteto de cuerda, conjuncion que siempre me habia llamado la atencion. Nace, pues, el Quinteto de la Sala de Llevant, obra concebida en un solo tiempo y que creo que continua con la linea marcada por el autor durante estos ultimos anos, en el sentido de eliminar todo elemento superfluo para seguir un discurso musical riguroso y que querria marcadamente expresivo.
El estreno del Quinteto de la Sala de Llevant tuvo lugar el 29 de junio del 2005 en la Sala de Llevant de la Biblioteca de Catalunya, en ocasion de la cesion de mi archivo musical a esta misma institucion. Josep Fuster (a quien la obra esta dedicada), clarinete, y el Cuarteto Glinka (Ala Voronkova, Guerassim Voronkov, violines, Bernat Bofarull, viola, Nabi Cabestany) fueron sus interpretes.--El autor

Cronaca must be regarded as one of Nordgren's most inventive and ground-breaking scores to date. The opening Adagio and closing Epilogo carry the weight of the musical message. The two soli from which the second movement gets its title Duo prove to be parallel manifestations of the same personality - two players but one instrument, duality in oneness - behind which the ripieno strings express diversity in pianissimo mobiles.

The character of the opening movement, Allegro, is determined by the sonata form with two themes. In the course of its development, the first theme takes on a jazz-like diction. In contrast, the second theme has the character of a ländler (folk dance in 3/4 time). As the movement continues, interactions and contrasts between the two themes create charming moments. The second movement, Sostenuto, has the form of an arch. Above a pedal-point, the melodic material of the movement is presented. In Arioso, chorale-like episodes alternate with recitative-like insertions. At the medial section of the movement, the Gregorian hymn Veni creator spiritus is heard---played by the saxophone. A substantially reduced reprise closes the movement in extreme pianissimo. The final movement, Presto, with its variable metrical structure, has a rondo-like character. Three different musical ideas emerge and are tossed together into a colourful mixture. A terse Stretta concludes this playfully virtuoso movement. Arranged for E-flat alto saxophone and piano. Titles: Allegro * Sostenuto * Presto.

Beethoven's Meeres Stille und Gluckliche Fahrt (Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage) op. 112 for four-part mixed chorus and symphony orchestra - his setting of a pair of poems by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - defies straightforward categorization, but can best be described as a choral ode. Beethoven in fact never voyaged by sea, but his composition, premiered in 1815, continues to surprise even today. He depicted in music the smooth surface of the motionless water and the oppressive calm, which meant nothing other than being becalmed, a delayed voyage, and short rations in the era of sailing, with the same intensity as a freshening increasing wind, with which Aeolus, the God of the winds, ultimately enabled the longed-for prosperous voyage to take place. The composed calmness of the motionless sea is conveyed in the low register used throughout, in which the chorus sings the first poem accompanied by washes of pianissimo sounds on the strings. There is a surprising moment with the musical portrayal of the ungeheuere Weite (immense breadth), at which the vocal-instrumental writing suddenly crescendos to forte and unfolds into a texture of over five octaves. By contrast Gluckliche Fahrt is written in restlessly-compiled meters, whose musical setting in flowing movement with diatonic scale passages evokes happy excitement and confidence. The work was dedicated to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whom Beethoven greatly admired throughout his life. The work has now been published in a new critical edition based on the first printed edition and the performance score which Beethoven himself checked and corrected. Score and part available separately - see item CA.1039500.

Song of Hope, composed by Kay Johannsen the Kantor of the Stiftskirche in Stuttgart in 2016, is a Fantasia in G minor based on a six-measure melody. It is improvisatory in style and has a melancholy basic character. Over the course of the work, the melodic idea is varied rhythmically several times, and is heard in the treble, tenor and bass registers. Against a quiet basic pulse, the accompanying harmonies appear in the manuals and pedals mostly in subtly matching rhythms, reminiscent of a saxophone soloist with a discreet supporting jazz band. The dynamic of the piece grows from piano to a fundamental forte, and for the conclusion a fine pianissimo is required. Song of Hope is composed for two-manual organ, with a duration of four-and-a-half minutes. The expressive harmonies and the hidden swing of the music communicate directly with audiences, including those with less musical experience.

Er macht nicht nur als Braunschweiger Domkantor, Organist und leidenschaftlicher Musik- bzw. Gesangspadagoge von sich reden. Gerd-Peter Munden stellt mit seiner Vertonung des 126. Psalms unter Beweis, dass er auch als Komponist geistlicher (Chor)Musik Meisterhaftes hervorzubringen versteht. Den zur Gattung der Wallfahrtslieder zahlenden Psalm Wenn der Herr die Gefangenen Zions erlosen wird setzt Munden fur sechsstimmigen gemischten Chor (SSATBB) a cappella und verlangt den Ausfuhrenden dabei in nur 70 Takten einiges ab. Haufige Taktwechsel sowie eine reiche (nicht nur) dynamische Ausdruckspalette mit feinsten Abstufungen, die vom dreifachen Pianissimo bis zu dreifachen Fortissimo reicht und ruhige bis sehr lebhafte Passagen umfasst, verleihen diesem 5-minutigen Werk einen hochst ergreifenden Gestus.

Scored in G major, this original in ABA form paints a convincing picture of twilight time in the old American West. The optional percussion part for temple blocks imitates the sound of horse's hooves in the A segments, and divisi 1st Violin and cello parts in the B section add harmonic depth and drama. The piece ends with a gradual diminuendo and ritard before the final pianissimo chord is played. Duration 2:30. Available in SmartMusic.
