Vagn Holmboe's Concerto No.11 Op.44 For Trumpet And Orchestra is part of a series of 'Chamber' concertos written for soloists with smaller accompaniment groups. Concerto no.11 is based upon the concertos of Joseph Haydn, and features the fast-slow-fast formal structure typical of the Classical concerto. Holmboe's melodic writing is modelled upon the motivic and thematic developments that are highly characteristic of Haydn's melodic constructions, lending the work a timeless air.

Vagn Holmboe (1909-1996) was a 20th century composer in the neo-classical style, widely recognised as the most important Danish composer since Nielsen. He is best known for his symphonic works, solo concertos, and chamber music, but his choral a cappella compositions are worthy of the same merit.
Vagn Holmboe’s Lauda, Anima Mea Op.59c is taken from his second collection of Liber Canticorum and consists of three movements: Lauda, Anima Mea, Laudabo Dominum and Psallam Deo. The texts are taken from the Old Testament, and the music is scored for a cappella SATB Choir.

String Quartet No.1 - 'Quartetto Breve' (1952) by Per Norgard. Programme note: The spectrum of sound, the gesticulation - in short, the very nature of the strings - has always had a central place in my output, demonstrated by the numbers of string quartets, concertos with string soloist, chamber and solo works. The interest dates back to my school years, when I was fortunate to be able to compose for a cello-playing schoolmate and to accompany him on the piano. I discovered then the innumerable nuances of sound and playing varieties offered by just one bow, four strings and five fingers.. My first string quartet - Quartetto Breve - has a firm root in the Nordictradition and is strongly inspired by Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) and my teacher Vagn Holmboe (1909-96). Per Norgard (1998) .
