Brodrene James og Adam Price har igennem en arraekke begavet det danske kulturliv med alt inden for teater musicals revy og tv-serier. I 1993 startede de med bragende succes en ny trend i Danmark: 'Musicals pa dansk' hvor James Price skrev musikken og Adam Price teksterne over forskellige klassikere som: Myten om Tordenskiold Livsens Ondskab (Gustav Wied) Trold kan taemmes (William Shakespeare) De tre Musketerer (Alexandre Dumas) Myten om Robin Hood og Naboerne (Leif Panduro og Bent Christensen) Savel tekster som musik spaender meget bredt fra melodrama laengsler og dromme over politisk satire tilmoderniserede klassikere om krig og kaerlighed bade pa den historiske verdensscene og i vores egen lille andedam. Alt sammen sat sammen med vid og bid glimt i ojet en overdadig humor samt en overlegen jongleren med genrer og stemninger sa publikum i de stopfyldte teatre har bade grinet og graedt.. Udsogte smagsprover pa de sakaldte 'Highlights' kunne meget vel tjene som inspiration til landets teaterdirektorer til at tage en eller flere af de naevnte musicals pa programmet. Og haeftet rummer mange muligheder for genhor med nogle af stykkernes orehaengere eller endnu bedre: for at synge med til eget akkompagnement. Musical Highlights er forsynet med tekster noder med becifring teaterfotos og handlingsresumeer. Og den tidligere direktor pa Gladsaxe Teater Flemming Enevold som satte lavinen i gang med Tordenskiold i 1993 har skrevet bogens sprudlende forord.

Indischer Roosengaarten und Chineesischer Hexensee. Work for Orchestra dating from 1981. Per Norgard's Symphony No. 4 (1981) - Indischer Roosengaarten und Chineesischer Hexensee (Indian Rose Garden and Chinese Witch See). Programme Note : This symphony in two movements entitles Indischer Roosen-Gaarten und Chineesischer Hexensee was inspired by Adolf Wolfli's works - consisting of 20.000 pages of prose poetry and pictures -. An English translation of the title would read: Symphony no. 4 - Indian Rose Garden and Chinese Witch See; after an idea by Adolf Wolfli (1864-1930) and dedicated to him. Wolfli was from 1895 (31 yearsold) until his death in 1930 confined to the mental hospital at Waldau near Bern Switzerland. Although he had no technical knowledge of music he considered himself to be a great composer and his paintings were almost always covered with long festoons of six-lined (!) music staffs. In 1912 Wolfli ordered paints and paper for a planned Musikbuchlein which was to be published in 1920 under the title Indischer Roosen-Gaarten und Chineesischer Hexensee. (Wolfi uses his characteristic illustrative phonetic spellings with double vowels). The work was never completed and I took it upon myself to realize Wolfli's idea according to his vision but of course within my own preconditions. The double and suggestive title is typical of Wolflis polarized conception of the world which shifts between idyll and catastrophe. This polarization is of almost Chinese nature in that no idyll exists without catastrophic disturbances just as there is a black spot in the white fish and vice versa in the famous Yin/Yang symbol. One might explain this idea with a quote by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun: A prisoner on his tumbrel is wheeled to the scaffold. A nail chafes at his behind; he moves over and feels more

Stratifications was composed by Hans Abrahamsen in 1973-75 and was premiered in the summer 1977 by the Iceland Symphony Orchestra at the Young Nordic Music Festival in Reykjavik. Programme note: The stratifications referred to in the title unfold two different levels. There is the stratification of the time dimension produced by the opposition of contrasting parts at the same time the polyphony the presence of several simultaneously sounding layers is of great importance to the music. By garish colours and clear-cut outlines a polyrhythmic simultaneousness of simple melodies is produced with more gestic music and other material which give a peculiar “set piece-like” effect inthe sound picture. The “new simplicity” details are here woven together in a new kind of complex whole. “Stratifications” begins with a series of concretistic masklike “pictures of the music”. It is like seeing lantern slides. But this “fictive” form crackles and the music gets attentive and real. The music is in a night-mare condition where it is not getting anywhere in spite of a great dynamic display. But finally is liberating itself and rising “in triumph”.

Per Nørgård 's 2 Nocturnes - for 12 voices (2003) 1. Summer's Sleep (text: Ole Sarvig) 2. Michael's Night (text: Ib Michael) English version. Programme note: These two choral pieces for 12 voices consists of radical recompositions on of earlier themes: in Summer's Sleep we hear new combinations of two 'Sarvig melodies' from the 1970s (one of which is now in the Danish Hymnbook under the title året The Year): Michael's Night is based on an earlier simple choral song (Star Mirror 1987) now for 12 voices and composed such that an original idea of simultaneously displaced opposite motions cf. the poem) comes out as desired. Of the Nocturnes Nørgård writes: Summer's Sleep wascomposed to stanzas of Ole Sarvig's poem The Year (from the collection Forstadsdigte ('Suburban Poems') and forms the picture of the summer of life which is asleep - while the heaven seed waits for the summer wind (invisible to every mind). The many layers of text are expressed musically in a multilayered choral texture with 'looks' up and down through the various tempo and time-worlds: summer sleep summer dream. The second nocturne Michael's Night takes its name from the author Ib Michael whose poem Star Mirror (from the collection Himmelbegravelse ('Sky Funeral') (1986) I pushed/coaxed him to expand from one to nine stanzas. The four selected stanzas set in the nocturne focus on the pan-erotic elements of the moonlit starlit night. With the titles I have chosen I have stressed the mythic layer of the text the summer night not as a dream but as sensual reality. The two nocturnes are dedicated to Ivan Hansen on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday on 25th February 2003 out of gratitude for over a quarter of a century of inspiring collaboration.

The Planets-Written in 1995 as one part of Lorentzen's 'Suite of Seven Pieces for organ' Mercurius is a symbol of merchants trade and thiefs traditionally depicted with wings on his heels forever restless scurrying about. The music is divided into sequences of four resulting in a sense of weightlessness and hurried urgency. The first complete performance of 'The Planets' took place in 1996 and was given by Jens E. Christensen.

The Romance for Trombone and Piano was given its premiere at the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen in 1916 in an Orchestral version and with Axel Jorgensen 's friend Anton Hansen as soloist. This fully tonal Scandinavian work of charm intelligence and lyricism was well received though the Orchestral parts were destroyed in the bombings of the Second World War. Jorgensen produced this Trombone and Piano version a few years after the premiere and it continues to enjoy performances and recordings today.
