Cadentia Nova Danica: August 1966, Jazzhus Montmartre

Saxophonist John Tchicai returned home to Denmark in 1966 after four years in New York, where he had made himself one of the most prominent members of the avant-garde movement that had become known as the New Thing. He then formed the Cadentia Nova Danica ensemble with young Danish musicians who were already playing together: Tchicai assumed the role of mentor for the experimental group, who learned to navigate the unorthodox technical demands and wild emotions of the controversial new sound. Tchicai also allowed band members Karsten Vogel (who later formed Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe) and composer Finn von Eyben to add their own compositions to the repertoire, thereby helping them establish the foundation of their musical careers which soon flourished. On this live recording, they prove themselves worthy as conceptual and creative equals of their most advanced contemporaries in other European countries. The music they played on this first public appearance radiates passionate honesty and intense humanity. Richard Williams’ liner notes explain: “ Although in some respects very characteristic of its era, [the music] communicates its raw and heartfelt beauty across the decades with undimmed strength, still reaching out in hope to an unknown future ”. Cadentia Nova Danica ’s 1966 concert is a wonderful gem and, finally, no longer a hidden one.

Sadie Harrison: Sextet: "In Divers Knottes..."'

Sextet: "In Divers Knottes..." for Clarinet, Piano, Percussion, Violin, Viola and Cello. Composed 1998, published 2000. Duration: 16 minutes. This piece has had several working titles, the longest being Asteroceras obtusum (after a coiled fossil found during a summer visit to Lyme Regis), the most cynical, RAE III, and Flying Starts suggested by a colleague during a conversation about the importance of writing music that “takes off”! I decided on a title that conveyed something o the tangled contrapuntal nature of the piece, taken from an extended text by Stephen Hawes (The Historic of Graunde Amoure and la Bell Pucel, 1554) : With Flora paynted and wrought curiously in divers knottes. With many dragons of marveylos likenes Of divers floures made, full craftely By Flora couloured, with colours sundrye . The piece is episodic and is constructed from three principal textures – the opening music which introduces the only theme of the piece and which is never heard again in this form, the fast and increasingly hectic music which grows as the thee proliferates into several knotted variations of itself, and the very slow music which occurs twice as stark contrast to the surrounding material. Written last and within sight of the deadline, this music leaves some of the decisions to the players – the last gasps of the composer and the gathering energy within the piece! - Sadie Harrison
