ROMANTARCTICA Ingrid Ose, flute Henning Kraggerud, viola Natallia Papova, piano Levin Hall, Oslo, Norway 2021 ​-------------- ROMANTARCTICA (Heroes from the Past and Hopes for the Future) A musical expedition from the Arctic regions of the North and South. Commissioned by the Arctic Philharmonic and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, the world's northernmost and southernmost professional symphonic orchestras. I am inspired by the romanticism inherent in the voyages of the great explorers Scott and Amundsen and the many adventurers who faced the unknown with an unquenchable thirst. I am also inspired by my musical heroes from the Romantic era to whom the great explorers were exposed growing up. Ports of Departures. The fact that I, the Artistic Director of the Arctic Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, which is based in Tromsø, was tasked with this co-commission with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, which is based in Hobart, triggered my imagination beyond belief. Tromsø is the most important Arctic port from which Amundsen, Nansen and many more headed for the North, but it is also the first port Amundsen used before redirecting Nansen's Fram to the South Pole, reaching it right before Scott. And the last port of departure for both Scott and Amundsen was exactly Hobart, Tasmania. The idea for this commission, which was initiated by Simon Rogers, was born when I performed excerpts from my composition Equinox in Tasmania on the very day of Equinox. During long conversations with Simon in Tasmania and during his travels in Norway, the project matured through mind-boggling perspectives in highly unusual talks. Psychologically, I believe that the explorers in some ways were Romantics first and foremost. None of them had the training needed when they made their choices, but seemingly nothing could stop them. Even the tragic fates of Scott and his team, and the ones suffered similarly in the north by Amundsen later on have elements of Romanticism in their weave. They were willing to die for their beliefs and dreams, or to protect the romanticized images they had created of themselves. Scott heading for the South Pole with ponies and gramophone recordings conjures up a scenery of tragedy but also of courage, faith and grand deeds and actions. I am also inspired by my own dreams and hopes for the future. I believe that all the exploring we ultimately need to undertake for the future of humanity is best done with a Romantic creative spirit not limited to conventional scientific thinking alone, but instead it will require us to jump willingly into the unknown without having clear answers.
