Arctic Fire - Robert Buckley

The cinematic approach to the music of Arctic Fire portrays many different images of the north - the crimson sunlight glinting off the icebergs, the radiance of the Northern Lights, the blaze of the red twig dogwood, the scarletred sunsets, and the fiery spirit of the people who live there. The piece opens and closes with a series of dramatic musical snapshots. Inbetween, the music evolves and transforms through a wide range of stylistic textures andmoods. A brilliantly scored and effective setting for winds. Dur: 5:15

Arctic Funk - Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen

Arctic Funk might just as well have been a flashing sequel to a scene from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. Popular music but with a difference, as indicated by the title. The work's quiet section temporarily soothes down the heated passion of its two corner movements, but everywhere else action is required throughout. The work was commissioned in 1991 by Troms? Brass. Situated just above the Polar Circle, Troms? is one of Norway's northernmost towns. Topographically, the town probably comes across as freezing cold, but Troms? is famous for its 'warm' night-life. The Composer: In Arctic Funk you might get a feeling of a party that takes place betweenice-rocks and snow-capped mountains.
