This arrangement was written for Dragefjellets Musikkorps Bergen for their performance at the Norwegian Wind Band Championships in 2019.
The original orchestral work is one of our country s greatest national works for symphony orchestra. It combines Norwegian folk music with the symphonic tradition, but on a slightly different way than Edvard Grieg.
Compared to the original score, I have made parts of the work more chamber-music like by making the instrumentation a bit thinner. By doing this, I hope the span in dynamics will benefit the tutti sections as well. Unlike the symphony orchestra, concert bands do not have the large string section to enrich the soundscape.
