Guðrún´s 4th Song, the work that brought Tómasson the Nordic Council Music Prize, is an operatic work based on poems from the old Icelandic Edda. It consists of 12 numbers for voices and chamber ensemble separated by spoken dialogue. Guðrún´s 4th Song was originally produced by OperaNord in a shipping dock in Copenhagen in the summer of 1996 and had 24 sold out performances.
In 2004 Tómasson selected three songs and two interludes for soprano and ensemble entitled Songs of Guðrún. (See: 064-029)
There is also available a piano reduction of the score.
Price for score only. For enquiries about rental of performance materials or for the piano reduction, please contact itm@mic.is
