Nordanvind is a tour de force symphonic rhapsody that is built on three Scandinavian folk songs. Composer Carl Strommen has composed these Viking-influenced melodies into a concert setting that brings out all of the history of the Scandinavian people. The piece is at times bold and aggressive, at other times beautiful. Carl employs all of the instrumental colors of the concert band to create a new work for more advanced ensembles.
Modern Scandinavians are descendants of the Vikings, an adventuresome people who were known for their love of the sea, their naval prowess, and as fierce fighters . The Scandinavian Vikings were warriors from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden who traded, raided and settled in various parts of Europe, Russia, the North Atlantic islands, and the northeastern coast of North America .Starting around 1850, over one million Swedes left their homeland for the United States in search of religious freedom and open farm land . Augustana College was founded in 1860 by graduates of Swedish universities and is located on the Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois . Home of the “Vikings,” Augustana College is the oldest Swedish- American institution of higher learning in the United States . This powerful and lively piece takes inspiration from Swedish history and from Swedish folk songs and hymns .Havsdrake (Dragon of the Sea)The Nordanvind or “North Wind” blows a cold wind during a journey of a group of courageous Viking rowers . The “Dragon-ship” or long ships designed for raiding and war was a sophisticated, fast ship able to navigate in very shallow water . To musically portray these magnificent seafaring vessels, the director is encouraged to use an Ocean Drum (or a rain stick) during the introduction . Wind players may consider blowing air through their instruments to suggest the North wind . Adding men’s voices to accompany the haunting low brass and percussive “rower” sounds can be helpful in creating the dark and ominous portrayal of Viking adventurers .Slangpolska efter Byss - KalleIn Sweden, a “polska” is a partner dance where the dancers spin each other (släng in Swedish “to sling or toss”) . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is attributed to Byss-Kalle, who was a notable Swedish folk musician, specifically a nyckelharpa player . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is a traditional “polska” dance song most often played on the Nyckelharpa or keyed fiddle and is commonly heard in pubs and at festive events throughout Sweden . Approximately 10,000 nyckelharpa players live in Sweden today, and the Swedish and the American Nyckelharpa Associations are dedicated to this Swedish National instrument . The director is encouraged to share video and audio examples of the nyckelharpa playing the original Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara (Children of the Heavenly Father)Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara Is a traditional Swedish melody, possibly of German roots, and was believed to be arranged as a hymn by the Swedish hymn writer, Karolina Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg (1832–1903) . As a daughter of a Swedish Lutheran minister, she began writing poems as a teenager and is said to have written over 1,700 different texts . There are two different accounts as to the inspiration for this hymn . The first story is that Lina (as she was called) wrote the hymn to honor her father and to say thank you to him for raising her and protecting her . A second belief is of her witnessing the tragic death of her father . She and her father were on a boat, when a wave threw her father overboard . It was said that the profound effect of watching her father drown is what caused Lina to write the text to this hymn . Although this is a treasured song to people of Swedish descent everywhere, it speaks to all people about a father tending and nourishing his children, and protecting them from evil .SPS71FThe Augustana College Concert BandFounded in 1874, the Augustana Band program is one of the oldest continuously active collegiate band programs in the country . The Concert Band is one of two bands on campus and was formed more than thirty years ago . The Concert Band attracts students of every skill level and from a wide variety of majors . Students in the ensemble play a large part in choosing their music for performance, which include works from the standard repertoire, orchestral transcriptions, and the latest compositions from leading composers .Rick Jaeschke began his musical career as a clarinet player in the 1st US Army Band .

This highly programmatic work begins with an original waltz that sets a circus atmosphere. Soon after, the circus has packed up and the train begins to move to its next destination - but trouble looms in the distance and chaos ensues. Using two familiar melodies (Camptown Races and Over the Waves), this colorful work uses a myriad of clever effects as it juxtaposes circus music with impending disaster. Unbelievably creative!

This composition reflects a colorful time in American history and is an opportunity for your band to discover ragtime rhythms. Folk hero Billy Miner (the Grey Fox) was the last of the old-time bandits. He was noted for his unusual politeness and is believed to be the originator of the phrase, Hands up! This composition is like a mini movie score and starts with the Billy Miner ragtime theme, followed by a train robbery, his capture, and final release. The artful interplay between sections gives this piece the sophisticated sound and intensity of a much more advanced work. Dur: 3:35.

Composed by Huckeby. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR359). Extra full score. Composed 2008. Duration 4 minutes, 17 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-3767-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-3767-01).

Written in an exciting programmatic style, this piece is based on folklore surrounding the derailment and crash of a turn-of-the-century passenger train in North Carolina. The descriptive and creative writing of Ed Huckeby make this story come alive through the sounds of the train and driving rhythms which imitate the locomotive. With creative changing meter, syncopation and dramatic rhythmic drive, contrasted with the flowing melodic lines of the introduction and interlude, this piece is a real winner for concert or contest performance.

The magnificent shows at the Moulin Rouge have left their mark on the collective imagination of all who read about them. For decades, a small but spectacular band formed one of the basic ingredients in this internationally famedcabaret theatre. With the first sounds of this composition by Peter Kleine Schaars, the exciting Parisian nightlife immediately comes to mind. The musette takes us to quartier Pigalle, the red-light district of Paris, and when thedoors of the Moulin Rouge open, we hear the recognizable rhythms of a contemporary disco: a combination of the rhythmic cells 8 / 4 and 3 / 14. In addition, the composition has been highlighted with a plentiful and varied use of rhythmic cell 5. Naturally, the themes and accompaniments have been divided equally among all parts.

De schitterende shows in de Parijse Moulin Rouge spreken tot ieders verbeelding. Een klein maar spectaculair orkest vormde tientallen jaren een van de basisingrediënten in dit wereldwijd vermaarde variététheater. Met de eersteklanken van deze compositie van Peter Kleine Schaars wanen we ons meteen in de Franse hoofdstad. De musette brengt ons naar quartier Pigalle, de rosse buurt van Parijs, en als de deuren van de Moulin Rouge zich openen, horen we deherkenbare ritmieken van een hedendaagse disco: een combinatie van de ritmische cellen 8-4 en 3-14. Daarnaast is de compositie geaccentueerd met een veelvuldig en gevarieerd gebruik van ritmische cel 5. Uiteraard zijn de thema’sen begeleidingen evenredig verdeeld over alle stemmen.

Die großartigen Shows im Moulin Rouge prägten das kollektive Bewusstsein all jener, die sich damit beschäftigt haben. Jahrzehntelang war eine kleine, aber fantastische Band Bestandteil dieses international bekanntenKabaretttheaters. Mit den ersten Klängen der Komposition von Peter Kleine Schaars fühlt man sich sofort in das aufregende Pariser Nachtleben versetzt. Die Musette führt uns ins Quartier Pigalle, das Rotlichtviertel von Paris, undwenn sich die Türen des Moulin Rouge öffnen, erklingen die bekannten Rhythmen einer modernen Disco: eine Kombination der Rhythmus-Einheiten 8 / 4 und 3 / 14. Darüber hinaus ist die Komposition durch eine vielfältige Verwendung derRhythmus-Einheit 5 geprägt. Die Themen und Begleitungen verteilen sich dabei gleichmäßig auf alle Stimmen.

Les spectacles grandioses du Moulin Rouge ont laissé leur empreinte sur l’imagination de tous ceux qui connaissent leur histoire. Pendant des décennies, un orchestre de taille modeste mais d’une aptitude exceptionnelle formaitl’un des ingrédients de base de ce cabaret de réputation internationale. Dès les premières mesures, cette composition de Peter Kleine Schaars évoque la vie nocturne animée de Paris. Le style musette nous emmène Pigalle, lequartier chaud de la capitale, et lorsque s’ouvrent les portes du Moulin Rouge, nous entendons les rythmes bien reconnaissables d’une discothèque contemporaine : la combinaison des cellules rythmiques 8 / 4 et 3 / 14. Cette œuvrecontient aussi de nombreux exemples variés de la cellule rythmique 5. Naturellement, les divers thèmes et accompagnements sont divisés également entre toutes les parties.
