Recorder player Anna Petrini and nyckelharpa player Emilia Amper have commissioned a 40 minutes long work by Frode Haltli. The three first parts of the piece (Tangled Hierarchy, Found Game and Lost in History) was first performed at Frontside – Gothenburg International Chamber Music Festival on January 15th 2023. The work is entitled “Fruits of Labour” and is a selection of pieces exploring the musical possibilities of this duo, consisting of two musicians rooted in traditional, classical and contemporary music.
‘It is not really a very ambitious work, in spite of its 40 minutes duration. It is a collection of pieces derived from my experiences as a performer and composer through the years. These are in a way commonly available experiences, I don’t claim to have invented something completely new. It should be possible to hear inspiration from everything from Bach and Messiaen to traditional music from different parts of the world, probably dependant on the listener’s own background. I love the combination of different recorders and nyckelharpa, and am truly happy that the duo chose to commission a work from me!’
Frontside has existed since 2019 and is largely driven by volunteer efforts, but we are highly dependent on additional financial sponsors and fundings. All contributions are used to engage fantastic musicians, rents of venues and all other things that make the festival a magical experience.
