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 . He received a Bachelor of Music degree from Susquehanna University, a Masters of Music from James Madison University, and a doctorate from Columbia University in New York . He was also fortunate to study conducting with Donald Hunsburger and with Frederick Fennell .Dr . Jaeschke taught band and choir at Great Mills High School in Southern Maryland, and for fifteen years, he was the district Music Supervisor in Armonk, New York, where he taught high school concert and jazz bands, beginning band, and music technology . During that time, the music program flourished, and the high school band consistently received Gold Medals in the New York State Festivals, as well as in national, and international festivals . As a clarinet and saxophone player, Dr . Jaeschke performed in the New York metropolitan area with the Rockland Symphony Orchestra, the Putnam Symphony Orchestra, Fine Arts Symphony Orchestra, and served as the concert master for the Hudson Valley Wind Symphony .For several years, Dr . Jaeschke served as the Fine Arts Coordinator for the District 204 schools in Naperville, IL, a district selected as One of the Best 100 Schools in America for Music . Currently, Dr . Jaeschke is an Associate Professor at Augustana College where he teaches music and music education courses, and directs the Concert Band . He has served on various educational boards, is a National edTPA scorer, and has presented at state, national and international music conferences . He lives with his family in Bettendorf Iowa, and enjoys any opportunity to explore the open water in his sea kayak .

The Viking age lasted from the late eighth, to the middle of the eleventh century. During this period, Scandinavian warriors and merchants explored, plundered and left their mark on numerous territories. This work is based on a series of four notes that appear in different forms, consisting of 4 movements: Northern Men, Explorer, Raids and Heritage. It is an impressive and spectacular piece, with lots of interesting and playful parts for all sections. This is a perfect contest piece or an outstanding work for thematic concerts.

Het tijdperk van de Vikingen duurde van het eind van de achtste tot het midden van de elfde eeuw. In deze periode verkenden en plunderden Scandinavische strijders en kooplieden verschillende gebieden, waarmee ze hun stempel op de geschiedenis drukten. Dit werk is gebaseerd op een reeks van vier noten en het bestaat uit vier delen die elkaar naadloos opvolgen: Northern Men, Explorer, Raids en Heritage. Het is een indrukwekkende, spectaculaire compositie met veel boeiende en speelse partijen voor alle secties. Het is een perfect wedstrijdwerk ; ook is het heel geschikt voor een thematisch concert.

Das Zeitalter der Wikinger dauerte vom Ende des 8. Jahrhunderts bis zur Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts. Während dieser Zeit haben die Wikinger, skandinavische Krieger und Händler, zahlreiche Gebiete erforscht, geplündert und ihre Spuren dort hinterlassen. Das Werk basiert auf einer Folge von vier Noten, die in unterschiedlichen Formen verwendet werden, und besteht aus vier Sätzen: Northern Men, Explorer, Raids und Heritage. Es ist ein beeindruckendes und fantastisches Stück mit zahlreichen interessanten und verspielten Passagen für alle Instrumentengruppen. Es eignet sich bestens als Wettbewerbsstück oder als ein hervorragendes Werk für thematischeKonzerte.

L' ge des Vikings s’étend de la fin du VIIIe au milieu du XIe siècle. Pendant cette période, les Vikings, guerriers et marchands scandinaves, ont exploré, pillé et marqué de leur empreinte de nombreux territoires. Cette œuvre est basée sur une série de quatre notes que l’on retrouve sous différentes formes. Elle se divise en quatre parties enchaînées: Northern Men, Explorer, Raids et Heritage. Une œuvre impressionnante et spectaculaire, elle comprend de nombreux fragments intéressants et enjoués pour tous les registres. Elle serait idéale comme pièce de concours ou pour un concert thématique.

The work Pilgrims of Wolfryt tells the story of the legend Walfridus (also known as Wolfryt), a resident of the town of Bedum in the Netherlands who was born in the 11th century. Wilfridus had an eventful life: he introduced Christianity to Bedum and helped the town build its first legal system, but ultimately his story ended in demise murdered alongside his son at the hands of the Vikings. Pilgrims of Wolfryt is a symphonic poem-like masterpiece, full of evocative melodies in a mix of tonalities to make the most of the impressive rhythmic material.

Het werk Pilgrims of Wolfryt vertelt het verhaal van de legendarische Walfridus (ook wel Wolfryt genoemd), een inwoner van het dorp Bedum in Groningen die leefde rond het jaar 1000 na Christus. Walfridus leidde een bewogen leven: hij bracht het christendom naar Bedum, zorgde voor de invoering van een rechtssysteem en was verantwoordelijk voor grote infrastructurele verbeteringen totdat hij en zijn zoon op tragische wijze werden gedood door de Noormannen. Een kleurrijk symfonisch meesterwerk waarin melodieën in verschillende majeur- en mineurtoonsoorten worden gecombineerd met afwisselend en meeslepend ritmische materiaal.

Ce chef-d’œuvre en forme de poème symphonique est haut en couleurs, regorge de mélodies en tonalités majeures et mineures, et offre un bel éventail de matériel rythmique.
