Nozze di Primavera (1984) Martin Dalby
It's a contemplative and gentle memento of Dalby's marriage which took place as he was beginning to write it and it is dedicated to his wife Hilary.
The starting point for its musical language and ideas is an Orcadian reference in the form of a the wedding hymn for the marriage of Margaret of Scotland and Eric II of Norway in 1281. The hymn forms a sort of cantus firmus in the bass part at the beginning and at the recapitulation. there is also a musical cipher derived from the beginning of the Latin text Ñ Ex te lux Oritur, O dulcis Scotiae. (Sweet Scotland, from you a light arises)
The work rocks between the keys of G major and E flat major, a happy relationship which he admires in the two G major violin sonatas by Beethoven. These are two works which he and his wife (a violinist) enjoy playing together.
