Northern Lights: Indigenous Icelandic Aspects of Jón Nordal's Piano Concerto

Taylor, Kristín Jónína

Abstract Details

2006, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Piano.
This study investigates the influences, both domestic and foreign, on the composition of Jón Nordal´s Piano Concerto of 1956. The research question in this study is, “Are there elements that are identifiable from traditional Icelandic music in Nordal´s work?” By using set theory analysis, and by viewing the work from an extramusical vantage point, the research demonstrated a strong tendency towards an Icelandic voice. In addition, an argument for a symbiotic relationship between the domestic and foreign elements is demonstrable.
