St. Olaf Orchestra string section, 2003-2004
Steven Amundson - conductor

  Composer's Notes
"Veturnaetur" is the old Norse holiday of "Winter Nights," the last two weeks in October. It was a dark time of supernatural events, but also a time for weddings and celebration. The musical material of this piece is derived from a four note motive and employs idiomatic string techniques to capture the mood of this foreboding time of year.

- Matthew Peterson, class of 2006
