\n \n About work:

Nordron (1979-97) is a rondo for symphonic wind orchestra with eccentric meters forming the basis of the rhythm. Three different ways of dividing the rhythm into 7 (2+2+3, 3+2+2 and 2+3+2) add to the variation and excitement of the piece. The melodic content grows from a motive in the bass which then fuels the musical development of the work. The excitement comes mostly from the rhythm; here too, the meters shift quickly, which contributes to the piece's wonderful play between rustic and gracious gestures. One can add that the different groupings of the ensemble are sometimes united, but can also be set against one another, for example woodwinds against brass! Their profiles interact, perhaps not in conflict with one another, but at least in lively argument. The percussionists also participate as spiritual players in the drama, with heavy and light accents, energetic rhythmic patterns and hearty attacks. Sometimes, Nordron feels like a divertimento, composed with a light hand; however, one soon realizes that the composer has prepared an interesting panorama, with colors and motives that truly engage the listener! The composition was originally written for symphony orchestra, as part of Simai’s job at the College of Music in Gothenburg. He saw the work as an arena for the different instruments and groups in the orchestra. 18 years later, this version was written on the initiative of Jerker Johansson, the artistic director and conductor of Göteborgsmusiken.
