Heimdall is the Norse god of light.He is the owner of the horn, Galarhorn, and when this horn is sounded, ragnarok (the destruction of the gods) occurs. The title derives from this and is a dynamic composition. The Oboe Concerto was commissioned by the Minnesota Orchestra in 2004. The Bassoon Concerto consists of three traditional (rapid-modal-rapid) movements, and the orchestral part is modest and simple. (Tobu Shoji)
