Marching Band Series - Brass. Composed by Svein H. Giske. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2015. Norsk Noteservice #NNS9790261709064. Published by Norsk Noteservice (BT.NNS9790261709064).This march was commissioned by The office of cultural affairs in Fana and Ytrebygda (a part of Bergen Municipality) for the opening of The Bergen Light Rail.
The premiere was given by The Norwegian Navy Band Bergen and Smørås skolemusikkduring the light rails maiden voyage.
Her Majesty Queen Sonja of Norway opened the light rail on June 22nd 2010.
My idéa was to give the march a strong link to Bergen. In the bass solo (letter B) I have quoted Bergens "national"anthem Nystemtn and in the Trio (letter E) I have used a bugle call from Bergens unique tradition of archerchery brigades.
The first part of the march is meant to have a sort of train feel to it; somethingthats moving steadily through thestreets of the city.
