Per Nørgård's Hedda Gabler - Incidental Music and Suite (1993) for Viola Harp and Piano.Programme noteThe music was composed for the BBC production of Henrik Ibsens´s famous play “Hedda Gabler”. For the production the director Deborah Warner changed the location from Bergen Norway to Dublin – two cities with many things in common both in size and atmosphere. All the movements are played attacca as one movement and the reason that I accepted this incidental music to be performed as a concert piece is that ithas a unity – decided by Deborah Warner and me – always following the character of Hedda. In Fiona Shaw´s´ interpretation Hedda Gabler is just as ruthless as Ibsen created her – but also deeply felt understood and shown as a victim of the suppressed role of women in the Victorian age. Therefore the associations to the salon music of the era are coloured with a strong expressionistic expression – the music being entirely created from the inner universe of the main character Hedda.
