Vaage: "Hokkaidos Hagar"

[faroenmano]

First, I read the comments posted in the video (very valuable by the way), omitting the sound. Then I heard it. Great music! Thanks

From the moment I began listening to this piece, I wanted more.. more of its richness and textural color and density, and certainly to explore more of Mr. Vaage's music.. I seem to detect the influences of Toru Takimetsu, Iannis Xenakis and perhaps Poul Rouders, at least in this specific piece.. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks for upload, the intensity of this piece kind of remind me of Beat Furrer's concerto for piano and orchestra. BTW, English is also not my first language

@Playingtrombone I study composition at a music university, and "academic" is the last word that I would want used to describe my music. xD

Thanks a lot, especially the discription of the piece, always benifit from it.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate your video and I am a fan of modern academic music. I hope visiting new updates of your videos.

@BeachWolf1979 It's unfair that these people criticise the term "academic". Mayvbe they shd realize that not everyone speaks English as first language.

I didn´t knew this composer. If you have more music from him, please upload it. I really like this piece. Do you know if he teaches, and where? Thanks for posting. The quality of what you upload and the notes that you put are excellent!
