Composer
Pehr Henrik Nordgren (1944-2008)
Pehr Henrik Nordgren (19 January 1944[1] in Saltvik, Åland Islands – 25 August 2008 in Veteli) was a Finnish composer.Nordgren's style proceeds from the twelve tone technique as well as the cluster technology Ligetis, refers however many further elements and can altogether than pluralistisch being designated. Apart from the meeting with the traditional Japanese music (e.g. in the Kwaidan Ballads for piano) and the employment of its instruments into its compositions the Finnish people music with their instruments, particularly the kantele, plays a large role. In the center of Nordgren's œuvre are located however the works for strings; whether in concertos, works for string orchestra (e.g. Portraits of Country Fiddlers, one of his most often performed orchestral works), string quartets or sonatas.
