Bent Sørensen: The Wings Of Night

Beskrivning

Bent Sørensen THE WINGS OF NIGHTI do not yet know what to write about this short piece which I have just finished.But like my Piano Concerto LA NOTTE, it seems to take place at night-time - or perhaps it is only because I wrote the piece by night. In short, the title is from Shakespeare’s ’Romeo and Juliet’.Juliet sings to the night - the night of love: ’Come, night: come Romeo: come, thou day in night: For thou wilt lie upon the wings of nightWhither than new snow upon a raven’s back.THE WINGS OF NIGHT was composed as a commission from the Warsaw Autumn for Christian Lindberg and the Silesian String Quartet.Bent Sørensen
