Nordhagen, S :: Pastorale and Toccata
Edition Svitzer presents 'Pastorale and Toccata' for piccolo and piano by Stig Nordhagen.
The composer writes about this piece, 'I've always been captivated by the unique sound quality of the piccolo. Its pure, clear tone can range from the most delicate and soft whispers to the brilliance of the extreme altissimo register. These two qualities are at the heart of this composition.
'The piece opens with a gentle and intimate pastorale, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. This is followed by a lively and energetic toccata, where the piccolo's clarity and technical agility come to the forefront. A more expansive development of the pastorale theme leads into a cadenza, allowing for further exploration of the instrument's expressive range. In this final section, I seek to merge the pastoral serenity with the toccata's vigor, before the piece returns to where it began- closing with the piccolo's pure tone, once again evoking the tranquility of the pastorale.'
