Centennium
For Brass Band
Centennium was first written for Concert Band in 2023. The piece was composed for Lillestrøm School Band and their conductor Anders H. Halvorsen in celebration of the band’s 100th anniversary in 2023.
Centennium is based on a melodic theme that, throughout the work, changes character, tempo, time signatures, and harmony, surrounded by train signals. Lillestrøm got its train station as early as 1854, as part of the “Main Line” from Oslo to Eidsvoll, Norway’s first railway route. Lillestrøm is widely known as a “railway town,” and thus, the train signals not only illustrate the town’s identity but also symbolize the band’s journey through its first 100 years.
The transcription for brass band was written for Hetlevik Musikklag (Norway) for their participation at the Norwegian National Finals in 2025.
Durata: approx. 13’ 30”
Centennium ble skrevet til Lillestrøm Skolekorps og deres dirigent Anders H. Halvorsen i anledning korpsets hundreårs-jubileum i 2023.
Stykket tar utgangspunkt i et melodisk tema som gjennom verket skifter karater, tempo, taktarter og harmonikk omgitt av togsignaler.
Lillestrøm fikk sin togstasjon allerede i 1854, da som en del av “Hovedbanen” fra Oslo til Eidsvoll, Norges første jernbanestrekning. Lillestrøm by er for mange kjent som en “togby” og derav skal togsignalene ikke bare illustrere byens identitet, men også symbolisere korpsets reise gjennom de første 100 årene.
Transkripsjonen for brassband ble skrevet til Hetlevik Musikklag for deres deltakelse i NM Brass 2025.
