Hans EkAbout
The Nordan Suite is based on the gathering of strong sources of inspiration. On the one hand we have the enticing world of fantasy hidden in the myths and legends of medieval ballads, along with the musical treasures of ancient and unique melodies that have born these stories from generation to generation throughout the ages. On the other is a desire to experience the fascinating tonal world of the symphony orchestra, with all its rich musical possibilities.
Folk music in combination with classical music is nothing new in itself. On the contrary, folk music has always been an obvious inspiration for symphonic repertoire, and every stylistic period has had its own methods of interpreting this. Here we explore these possibilities according to current trends. The initiatives come from within, from the folk musician's own surroundings.
Singer-instrumentalist Lena Willemark and multi-instrumentalist Ale Möller are two unique profiles among swedish musicians. With origins in the characteristic sounds of swedish folk music they continuously form ties to other musical worlds that allow new music to arise. Through many years spent touring numerous countries they have reached an enormous audience for their music. The recording 'Nordan', published by ECM in 1994, marked the start of a musical journey that is continued here.
This new CD, 'The Nordan Suite', marks a cooperative effort with arranger and composer Hans Ek, who together with Ale Möller has composed the music. Through his presence on the scandinavian music scene over the past 25 years, Hans Ek has made the symphony orchestra into a meeting place for classical, jazz, pop and folk music.
