Nordic Spring. Composed by Daniel Fjellström. Secular. Octavo. 24 pages. Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital #1282P. Published by Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital (BJ.1282P).8.27 x 11.7 inches.
Nordic Spring takes you on a ramble through moods and tones inspired by the brilliant, astringent and melancholic poetry of Edith Södergran. The two percussion parts take turns accompanying the choir and painting contrasts with their own melodies and an extended instrumental interlude.
Spring is represented by the marimba, the vibraphone and the crotales, that create a tonal world based on the Chinese philosophy of the Five Elements: Spring (wood), Summer (fire), Late Summer (earth), Autumn (metal), and Winter (water). These phases generate or give birth to one another in one order, while they control or undo each other in the reverse order.
Nordisk vår was commissioned by the Vocal Art Ensemble of Sweden, conducted by Jan Yngwe, and the Rhythm Art Duo – Daniel Berg and Fredrik Duvling, with financial support from Körcentrum Syd (Southern Choral Centre), Lund University. The piece is dedicated to these two ensembles that also performed it at its world premiere on May 19, 2015 at the venue Artisten in Gothenburg. – Daniel Fjellström
