A daring venture into Norwegian music for percussion<\/p>\n
Released in collaboration with the Norwegian Percussion Society, a nation-wide organization working to maintain and develop the technical standard and general conditions of Norwegian percussionists, this album is packed with some of the most ground breaking music for percussion \u2013 all written by Norwegian composers. This album is not only important in disseminating Norwegian music for percussion to a wider audience, it is a daring venture into a vast and, for many, unknown repertoire within contemporary Norwegian music. <\/p>\n
Performed by a range of prominent musicians, including Rob Waring, Kjell Samkopf and jazz musicians C\u00e9lio de Carvalho, Jon Balke and Jon Christensen, we are treated with five works all diverse in their expression. Magne Hegdal\u00b4s \u201cSchema Sonante\u201d is a movement along a scale from precise coordination to total freedom, achieving free and individual development within a fixed and unifying framework. Bj\u00f8rn Kruse\u00b4s \u201cSyllables\u201d reflects impulses from a great variety of musical styles in a modern and personal musical language, with improvisation being a core element. \u00d8istein Sommerfeldt\u00b4s \u201cMusic for One Percussion Player\u201d is a welcome addition to the percussion-repertoire, showing off the \u201cbeautiful\u201d side of percussion instruments. Kjell Samkopf\u00b4s \u201cVariations on Parang Chant\u201d echoes the Swedish jazz pianist Jan Johansson in what must be one of the most pleasing-to-the-ear compositions on this album. As the album\u00b4s closing piece we find one of Norway\u00b4s most famous jazz drummers Jon Christensen\u00b4s piece \u201cRhythm Notes\u201d, a collective, improvised session featuring some highly renowned Norwegian musicians.<\/p>\n
