Juryn motiverar beslutet s&amp;#229; h&amp;#228;r: Opus 42 &amp;#228;r ett unikt verk, som representerar en f&amp;#246;rnyelse inte bara av den nordiska vokalmusiken, utan av vokalbaserad partiturmusik &amp;#246;verlag. I Opus 42 finner vi en sl&amp;#229;ende vacker musik som visar de gemensamma dragen mellan den helt gamla och den helt nya musiken – samtidigt som vi ser likheten mellan v&amp;#229;r egen, skandinaviska folkmusik och den vi finner exempelvis i Mellan&amp;#246;stern eller Indien. Det s&amp;#228;tt p&amp;#229; vilket Lasse Thoresen h&amp;#228;r inte bara anv&amp;#228;nder folkmusik som krydda i konstmusiken, utan tv&amp;#228;rtom har funnit s&amp;#228;tt f&amp;#246;r att integrera dess finstilta mikrotonalitet, &amp;#246;vertonsspektra, harmonik och puls med v&amp;#229;r egen tids modernistiska projekt, &amp;#228;r banbrytande. Ett s&amp;#229;dant projekt l&amp;#229;ter sig inte realiseras utan n&amp;#228;ra samarbete med riskvilliga, h&amp;#246;gt kompetenta musiker. Lasse Thoresen har funnit dem bland s&amp;#229;ngarna i ensemblen Nordic Voices. Opus 42 best&amp;#229;r av fyra vokalverk: Solb&amp;#248;n, Likf&amp;#230;rdss&amp;#230;lmin, Himmelske Fader och Tvetrall. Det f&amp;#246;rsta verket best&amp;#228;lldes av festspelen i Bergen, de tre senare av OSA-festivalen; en folkmusikfestival i Norge. Det unika med Lasse Thoresens musik ligger d&amp;#228;rmed ocks&amp;#229; i att den inte bara f&amp;#246;rnyar och vitaliserar konstmusiken, utan har motsvarande effekt inom folkmusiken. www</description><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=3</guid><link>http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=3</link><title>iPaper Page 3</title><description>The Nordic Council Music Prize 2010 goes to the Norwegian composer Lasse Thoresen, for „Opus 42“ Statement by the Adjudication Committee: “Opus 42” is unique. It represents a renewal not just of Nordic vocal music, but of score-based vocal music in general. This strikingly beautiful piece reveals the common denominators in ancient and ultra-modern sounds, drawing our attention to the similarities between Scandinavian folk traditions and the music we might find in, say, the Middle East or India. Lasse Thoresen not only uses folk sounds to spice up art music, he also integrates its finely tuned microtonality, spectral overtones, harmonies and rhythms into the contemporary, modernist project in a truly pioneering manner. A project like this depends upon close collaboration with skilled musicians who are willing to take risks. Thoresen found them in the vocal ensemble Nordic Voices. “Opus 42” consists of four vocal works: Sun Prayer, Funeral Psalm, Heavenly Father and Dual Melodies. The first was commissioned by the Bergen International Festival, the other three by the Osa Festival, a combined Norwegian folk and classical event.&amp;#180;, reflecting the fact that Thoresen‘s ability to rejuvenate and vitalise both art music and folk is another unique aspect of his work.”</description><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=4</guid><link>http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=4</link><title>iPaper Page 4</title><description>… och de NomiNerade &amp;#228;r … … aNd The NoMiNees are …</description><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=5</guid><link>http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=5</link><title>iPaper Page 5</title><description /><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=6</guid><link>http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=6</link><title>iPaper Page 6</title><description>schNee haNs abrahaMseN Hans Abrahamsen (*1952) studerade horn p&amp;#229; Det kongelige danske musikkonservatorium i K&amp;#246;penhamn, men redan som mycket ung uppvisade han en fantastisk talang f&amp;#246;r komposition. Han studerade komposition f&amp;#246;r Niels Viggo Bentzon, Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, N&amp;#248;rg&amp;#229;rd och Ligeti. I b&amp;#246;rjan av sin karri&amp;#228;r var Hans Abrahamsen en centralfigur inom den danska New Simplicity-r&amp;#246;relsen som reagerade mot Darmstadt-skolans komplexitet. Han &amp;#228;r en av de mest sp&amp;#228;nnande moderna danska komposit&amp;#246;rerna, vars kompakta och transparenta men &amp;#228;nd&amp;#229; m&amp;#228;ttade musik har givit honom m&amp;#229;nga anh&amp;#228;ngare och sn&amp;#228;lla recensioner fr&amp;#229;n kritikerna &amp;#246;ver hela Europa. Trots att m&amp;#229;nga av hans verk &amp;#228;r korta och sm&amp;#229;skaliga har hans musik ofta episka kvaliteter som ger intrycket av att det bakom det begr&amp;#228;nsade materialet d&amp;#246;ljer sig digra koncept och v&amp;#228;lgenomt&amp;#228;nkta id&amp;#233;er. Hans Abrahamsen (*1952) studied the horn at the Royal Danish Conservatory in Copenhagen, but showed a remarkable talent for composition from a very young age. He went on to study composition under Niels Viggo Bentzon, Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, N&amp;#248;rg&amp;#229;rd and Ligeti. Early in his career, Abrahamsen was a key figure in the Danish “New Simplicty” movement, which reacted against the complexities of the Darmstadt school. He is one of Denmark’s most intriguing contemporary composers, whose compact, transparent yet dense music has won him many followers and positive critical notices throughout Europe. Despite the small scale and brevity of many of his works, his music often has an epic quality, creating the impression that behind the scarcity of material lie expansive concepts and deep thought. credits: tine Harden deNmark www iN spite of, aNd maybe eveN therefore siMoN sTeeN-aNderseN Simon Steen-Andersen (*1976) tillh&amp;#246;r den yngsta generationen danska komposit&amp;#246;rer, men har redan satt sitt m&amp;#228;rke p&amp;#229; kartan s&amp;#229;v&amp;#228;l p&amp;#229; den danska musikscenen som utomlands. Simon Steen-Andersen h&amp;#228;vdar att han „f&amp;#246;rs&amp;#246;ker att n&amp;#228;rma sig m&amp;#228;nniskan bakom instrumentet, f&amp;#246;r d&amp;#229; kan musik pl&amp;#246;tsligt handla om allt det som &amp;#228;r det allra viktigaste: kommunikation, varande, sk&amp;#246;rhet och intimitet“. I hans senaste verk f&amp;#246;rst&amp;#228;rks knappt h&amp;#246;rbara ljud i extrem omfattning: som om man placerat instrumenten under ett mikroskop. Det &amp;#246;ppnar upp en rik mikrov&amp;#228;rld av nya ljud, i vilken ljud som vanligtvis &amp;#228;r undertryckta, dolda eller underordnade integreras i en intensiv ljudframst&amp;#228;llning. www.simonsteenandersen.dk Part of the youngest generation of Danish composers, Simon SteenAndersen (*1976) has already made his mark both on the music scene both at home and abroad. Steen-Andersen says that he is “trying to approach the human being behind the instrument, because then music can suddenly be about everything that is most important: communication, being, fragility and intimacy”. In his latest works, barely audible sounds are subjected to extreme amplification, as if the instruments have been placed under a microscope. This opens up a rich, new micro-world, in which normally suppressed, hidden or subordinated sounds coalesce into intense imagery. credits: carl Krull www</description><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=7</guid><link>http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=7</link><title>iPaper Page 7</title><description>rack Jukka TieNsuu credits: maarit Kyt&amp;#246;Harju Verket „Rack“ &amp;#228;r skrivet &amp;#229;r 2008 f&amp;#246;r str&amp;#228;ngkvartett. Jukka Tiensuu (*1948) &amp;#228;r en universell musiker. Han omfattar konceptet om den tidl&amp;#246;sa konsten och om musiken som en oundg&amp;#228;nglig komponent i en universell kosmologi; samtidigt visar han prov p&amp;#229; en medvetenhet om de medel och de kanaler genom vilka musikens allra innersta djup kan unders&amp;#246;kas. Tiensuu har ett mycket brett konstn&amp;#228;rligt referensramverk. Det innefattar inte endast de aspekter av musiken som handlar om kreativitet och uppf&amp;#246;rande utan &amp;#228;ven mer perifera &amp;#228;mnen. Han v&amp;#228;xlar mellan att, beroende p&amp;#229; omst&amp;#228;ndigheterna, arbeta som komposit&amp;#246;r, cembalospelare, pianist, festivalarrang&amp;#246;r, f&amp;#246;rel&amp;#228;sare, radiopratare och ess&amp;#228;f&amp;#246;rfattare etc. “Rack” was written in 2008 for string quartet. Jukka Tiensuu (*1948) is an universal musician, one who embraces the timelessness of art and of music as an essential component in a universal cosmology. On the other hand, he is equally conscious of the channels through which the innermost depths of music are explored. Tiensuu has a very broad artistic frame of reference, working not only as a composer and performer, but also in areas only tangentially related to music. Depending on the circumstances, we may encounter him as a composer, harpsichordist, pianist, festival organiser, lecturer, radio presenter, essayist, etc. fiNLaNd www sky sebasTiaN FagerluNd Sebastian Fagerlund (*1972) har en kraftfull musikstil som k&amp;#228;nns igen p&amp;#229; ett &amp;#246;gonblick och som karakt&amp;#228;riseras av korta, skarpa gester &amp;#229; ena sidan och himlastr&amp;#228;vande cirkelb&amp;#229;gar l&amp;#228;ngs med horisonten &amp;#229; andra sidan. En intensiv, rytmisk puls varvas med stillast&amp;#229;ende, meditativa &amp;#246;gonblick. Musiken fl&amp;#246;dar i olika lager: olika saker h&amp;#228;nder i form av olika r&amp;#246;ster eller i olika block p&amp;#229; samma g&amp;#229;ng. Hans intresse f&amp;#246;r m&amp;#229;nga olika sorters klangfullhet, musikstilar och traditioner &amp;#228;r uppenbart i Sky, som &amp;#228;r satt f&amp;#246;r tidstrogna instrument – fl&amp;#246;jttraver, teorb, cembalo och sextett f&amp;#246;r str&amp;#229;kinstrument. Det &amp;#228;r en tarantellalik kraftstation som b&amp;#229;de hyllar den v&amp;#228;sterl&amp;#228;ndska kulturens ursprung i Mellan&amp;#246;stern och dagens heavy metal, allt under samma himmel i sann Fagerlund-anda. Sebastian Fagerlund (*1972) has a powerful and instantly identifiable musical style, characterised by short, sharp gestures on the one hand, and soaring arcs along the horizon on the other. Fervent, rhythmic pulsation is juxtaposed with still, meditative moments; musical events flow in layers; different things happen in different voices or blocks at the same time. His interest in a variety of sonorities, musical styles and traditions is apparent in “Sky”, scored for period instruments — traversi, theorbo, harpsichord and string sextet. With typical Fagerlund eclecticism, this tarantella-like powerhouse celebrates the Middle Eastern origins of Western culture as well as modern heavy metal. credits: saara VuorjoKi/Fimic www</description><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=8</guid><link>http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=8</link><title>iPaper Page 8</title><description>bow to striNg daN&amp;#237;el bJarNasoN credits: saga sigur&amp;#240;ard&amp;#243;ttir iceLaNd Dan&amp;#237;el Bjarnason (*1979) studerade piano, komposition och dirigering i Reykjavik innan han fortsatte med att studera orkesterdirigering vid musikh&amp;#246;gskolan i Freiburg i Tyskland d&amp;#228;r han tog examen med n&amp;#228;stn&amp;#228;st h&amp;#246;gsta betyg &amp;#229;r 2007.

MorTheNsoN Morthenson (*1940) har st&amp;#228;llt sig fr&amp;#228;mmande till en alltf&amp;#246;r entydig stilpr&amp;#228;gel. Typiskt f&amp;#246;r hans verksamhet &amp;#228;r v&amp;#228;xlandet mellan flera omr&amp;#229;den f&amp;#246;r skapande arbete. Trots Morthensons stilbyten finns s&amp;#228;rpr&amp;#228;glade element som &amp;#229;terkommer och ger honom en of&amp;#246;rliknelig identitet i den nya svenska musiken. Till exempel de fragmentariska och frusna satsstrukturerna, de suggestiva inslagen av traditionella klanger i f&amp;#246;rlopp som annars &amp;#228;ger fr&amp;#228;n eller uppl&amp;#246;st, disig harmonik. P&amp;#229; ett personligt s&amp;#228;tt har han ocks&amp;#229; h&amp;#228;vdat att det traditionella hantverket &amp;#228;r otillr&amp;#228;ckligt f&amp;#246;r den radikalt syftande konstn&amp;#228;ren. Morthensons konst lever otvivelaktigt minst lika mycket av hans k&amp;#228;nslom&amp;#228;ssiga inlevelse i det musikaliska materialet, som av en strikt teknisk utformning. Being unambiguous would be alien to Jan W. Morthenson (*1940), whose work is typified by fluctuation between styles and genres. Nevertheless, certain distinctive recurring elements endow him with an incomparable identity in new Swedish music – the fragmentary and frozen structure of the movements; the suggestive elements of traditional dance idioms; his dissolved, hazy harmonies. On a personal level, Morthenson asserts that the traditional craft is insufficient for the artist with a radical purpose. His art is derived at least as much from his emotional empathy with the musical material as from strict technical form. credits: lars tHorndaHl www</description><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=11</guid><link>http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=11</link><title>iPaper Page 11</title><description>faroe isLaNds butterfLy Tr&amp;#243;Ndur bogasoN Tr&amp;#243;ndur Bogasons (*1976) musik har en s&amp;#228;regen och sp&amp;#246;klik pr&amp;#228;gel, full av temperament och primalstyrka. Hans musik best&amp;#229;r av en dramaturgi inom vilken anv&amp;#228;ndningen av rumsliga och visuella aspekter ofta spelar en framtr&amp;#228;dande roll, och d&amp;#228;r musiken skapar en absurd teaterliknande v&amp;#228;rld av starka kontraster. Han har en bred kompositionell sp&amp;#228;nnvidd som str&amp;#228;cker sig fr&amp;#229;n en liten k&amp;#246;r i miniatyr till komplexa verk i olika typer av instrumentation. Han har vunnit &amp;#229;tskilliga f&amp;#246;rstapriser i kompositionst&amp;#228;vlingar och hans musik har uppf&amp;#246;rts av en bred sp&amp;#228;nnvidd av f&amp;#228;r&amp;#246;iska och internationella musiker &amp;#246;ver hela v&amp;#228;rlden. Under de senaste &amp;#229;ren har han &amp;#228;ven varit arrang&amp;#246;r f&amp;#246;r en rad artister inom folk-/pop-/rockmusik, d&amp;#228;ribland Hanus Johansen och Teitur. The music of Tr&amp;#243;ndur Bogason (*1976) has a distinctive, ghost-like character, filled with temperament and primal force. His music displays a dramaturgy in which spatial and visual aspects often play a dominant role, creating an absurd, almost theatrical world of stark contrasts. His wide compositional range spans from miniatures for small choirs to complex, highly instrumental works. He has won several composition prizes, and his music has been performed by a wide selection of Faroese and international performers around the world. In recent years, he has also arranged music for a number of folk/pop/rock artists, including Hanus Johansen and Teitur. www hey hey greeNLaNd rasMus lyberTh Rasmus Lyberth (*1951) &amp;#228;r med sin fantastiska r&amp;#246;st och sina kompositioner/s&amp;#229;nger b&amp;#229;de k&amp;#228;nd och erk&amp;#228;nd l&amp;#229;ngt utanf&amp;#246;r Gr&amp;#246;nlands gr&amp;#228;nser. Detta f&amp;#246;r att hans musik &amp;#228;r gr&amp;#228;nsl&amp;#246;s och appellerar till publiken oavsett var de kommer ifr&amp;#229;n. Musiken &amp;#228;r internationell men gr&amp;#246;nl&amp;#228;ndsk till sitt ursprung; musiken, r&amp;#246;sten och instrumenten talar ett helt eget spr&amp;#229;k. Hey Hey kan beskrivas som nyskapande i f&amp;#246;rh&amp;#229;llande till Lyberths egna tidigare s&amp;#229;ng och musik, och generellt nyskapande i ett gr&amp;#246;nl&amp;#228;ndskt sammanhang p&amp;#229; s&amp;#229; s&amp;#228;tt att musiken &amp;#228;r en kombination av gr&amp;#246;nl&amp;#228;ndsk tradition folk- och trums&amp;#229;ng, nordisk rytmisk musik och world etnomusic. Rasmus Lyberth (*1951) has a fantastic voice and his compositions/ songs are recognised and acclaimed far beyond Greenland. His music knows no borders, and appeals to people no matter where they come from – although most definitely Greenlandic in origin, the voice and the instruments speak a language all of their own. “Hey Hey” is an innovative work, not only in relation to Lyberth’s usual oeuvre, but also in the context of Greenlandic music, as it fuses elements of the Greenland folk and drum tradition with Nordic rhythms and a range of world-music styles. www</description><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=12</guid><link>http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=12</link><title>iPaper Page 12</title><description>aubade-estampida kJell Frisk Kjell Frisk (*1955) &amp;#228;r f&amp;#246;dd i Helsingfors i Finland men har sedan 1995 varit bosatt p&amp;#229; &amp;#197;land. Med undantag av n&amp;#229;gra f&amp;#229; &amp;#229;r har han sysslat med samma sak sedan han tog examen i Stockholm 1979. Hans huvud&amp;#228;mne inom musiken &amp;#228;r undervisning i r&amp;#246;rbladsinstrument. Hans f&amp;#246;rsta instrument &amp;#228;r klarinetten, men han spelar ocks&amp;#229; g&amp;#228;rna oboe, fagott och blockfl&amp;#246;jt. Hans passion f&amp;#246;r att skapa egen musik har han burit med sig sedan han var mycket ung. Det &amp;#228;r dock inte m&amp;#229;nga verk som har &amp;#246;verlevt – endast en cantata f&amp;#246;r br&amp;#246;llopsceremonin mellan honom och Catherine och ett antal skisser finns kvar. Den kreativa processen tog ny fart s&amp;#229; sent som 1998 d&amp;#229; Kjell fick stipendium fr&amp;#229;n &amp;#197;lands landskapsregering, d&amp;#229; han, trots att summan var blygsam, kunde ta n&amp;#229;gra veckors „egen tid“ f&amp;#246;r att skriva n&amp;#229;gra k&amp;#246;rverk. Kjell Frisk (*1955) was born in Helsinki, Finland, but has been a resident of &amp;#197;land since 1995. He has for the most part worked in music since graduating from Stockholm in 1979. He tutors reed instruments – principally the clarinet, but he is also an eager oboe-, bassoon- and recorder-player. Frisk has had a passion for creating his own music since an early age. However, few of his early works have survived – only a cantata he wrote for his own wedding and a few outlines remain. His creativity received a boost in 1998, when he was awarded a modest scholarship from the Government of &amp;#197;land that enabled him to devote several weeks to writing a number of choral works. &amp;#229;LaNd credits: Kjell s&amp;#246;derlund www</description><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=13</guid><link>http://pfformula.ipapercms.dk/NLH/NordiskMusikpris2010/?Page=13</link><title>iPaper Page 13</title><description>viNNareN av Nordiska r&amp;#229;dets musikpris 2010 avsL&amp;#246;jas tisdageN 1 juNi The WiNNer oF The Nordic couNcil Music Prize 2010 Will be revealed oN Tuesday 1 JuNe</description><a10:updated>2010-06-02T17:32:30+02:00</a10:updated></item></channel></rss>
