Bragi’s Harp is a captivating piece for harp and symphony orchestra, drawing you into a rich tapestry of evocative landscapes and the profound beauty of Norway. Named after Bragi, the Norse god of poetry, wisdom, and music, this piece is a tribute to the art of skaldship, where eloquence and musical mastery reign supreme. As the son of Odin, Bragi’s legendary harp playing is said to inspire the skalds, the poets of the Norse world, whose craft was named after him.
Crafted with a romantic and cinematic flair, the concerto draws inspiration from Norwegian folk music and the majestic natural beauty of Norway’s west coast. With its musical brushstrokes, the piece vividly illustrates Norway’s majestic mountains, the journey of crystal-clear streams to the fjords, and the tranquil existence of traditional mountain farms, known as “sæters,” weaving a rich soundscape that carries listeners to a timeless, enchanting realm.
Embark on this melodious expedition with Bragi’s Harp and let the strings of the harp guide you through the fabled lands of the Norse gods, where every note tells a story of wisdom, beauty, and the enduring power of music.
Bragi’s Harp had its world premiere on May 24, 2017, performed by the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra & Opera, featuring Uno Vesje on harp and conducted by Ingar Bergby, at Olavshallen in Trondheim, Norway.
The concerto is available in multiple formats: for solo harp with full symphony orchestra, with wind ensemble plus cello and double bass adding a symphonic texture, or as a piano reduction for more intimate settings.
