Per Nørgård's 3rd Symphony was composed in the years 1972-75 and was premiered in 1976. It immediately attracted much attention and has been performed several times since. The work is a summary expression of the new world of musical experience the composer began to work in from the late 1960s. Twilight refers to American anthropologist Carlos Castaneda's famous books on Mexican wizard Don Juan: "The world is a mysterious place," said Don Juan, "especially at dusk."
