ATMOSPHERE –

All the expanding shadows

have woven themselves into one,

high in the vault of the heavens

a lone star shines pure as the sun,

heavy in dreams the clouds are swinging,

eyes of the blooms in dew tears are swimming,

curious evening breezes

sigh in linden trees.

Musical Notes:

Olof Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867—1942) was a Swedish composer, opera director and music critic. As a composer, his main musical influences were Grieg, August Söderman and Wagner as well as Swedish folk idiom.

He is best known for three albums of national romantic piano pieces entitled Frösöblomster I, II and III (Flowers of Frösö), which includes the often-performed Vid Frösö kyrka (At Frösö Church) and Sommarsång (Summer Song). The sets, which were composed over a period of 18 years (1896 – 1914) and brought together afterwards as a collection have gained a reputation of representing a quintessential “Swedishness” in the romantic, nationalistic vein of their time.

His other works include five symphonies – as well as the operas Ran, Arnljot, Domedagsprofeterna (“The Doomsday Prophets”) and Adils och Elisiv (“Adils and Elisiv”).

David Johnstone efforts are frankly quite small; he merely transcribes the vocal lines for cello quartet in this transposition adding cello markings – to be truthful all of the creative work is really by the original musical composer Olof Wilhelm Peterson-Berger and enhanced by the wonderful translation of Bertram Kottmann….
