Frankenstein - Kelly Bennette

This tone poem entitled Frankenstein is based on the original novel by Mary Shelley (1797-1851). Victor Frankenstein creates life from pieces of many dead bodies. Soon, his monster comes to life. Though very intelligent, the monster has the maturity of a child. In a fit of rage, the monster kills William, Victor's younger brother. The monster finds Victor in The Alps and asks him to make him a mate. Victor makes him a mate, but kills her. The enraged monster tells Victor, "I will be with you on your wedding night." The monster forces his way into the wedding and kills Victor's fiance, Elizabeth. Victor chases the monster all the way to the Arctis where he dies of exhaustion. The monster finds Victor's body and realizes he has nothing to live for and goes away to die.

Fraxinus Excelsior - Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen

Fraxinus Excelsior is the latin name for the ash tree. The piece is written for a school band seated in Asker, a community with its name derived from the word "ash". The tree is also known in Norse mythology as Yggdrasil. The piece is based on two types of musical material, the blues scale, and some motives that are quite different to blues, f.ex. a lydian-souding motive (b. 29). When the two types of material is forced together, the musical alchemy is carried throughout on rhythms that add energy to the process.
