Programme Note
Sub luna is a set of four orchestral nocturnes, the first two of which are linked without a break. Bergman says of Sub luna: "The work uses meditation, numerous solo instruments from the various sections of the orchestra, persistent rhythms and sudden contrasts. […] The irregular improvisando episodes in between those with precise bar-line markings can occur in both the strings and the woodwind without any precise pitches. The pitchless breathing and hissing sounds on the woodwinds may express unreal states."
