Olsenbanden (Flexible Ensemble - Score and Parts) - Fabricius-Bjerre, Bent - Kjaernes, Bjorn Morten

This work fits very well in the Showblow series, but as is often the case in film music, the themes are quite short. In order to create a variation on the theme, musical ideas have been taken from the composer's own performances. The same applies to the introduction and conclusion. If you want, it can also be marched in the streets, which is guaranteed to bring smiles to the lips of the audience.Flexible instrumentation (Flex 5 ShowBlow) makes it playable for small as well as larger ensembles.Duration: 2.00

You can really smell the sawdust and cotton candy with this one. Immense!

Olympica (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan

This "Grand Overture" was commissioned by the "Nagano Community Band" - Japan- on occasion of its jubilee in 1992 and is dedicated to the band's conductor, Ikuo Inagaki. The work is based upon three main themes, each symbolising a certain theme. The first part is characterized by its bright themes played mainly by the brass, accompanied by the woodwinds and festive percussion. This part symbolizes the jubilee which is the origin of the composition. This is followed by a bouncing allegro, in which each register of the band displays brilliant techniques. Especially the woodwinds come to the fore! This movement depicts the industriousness and enthusiasm shown by the members of the "Nagano Community Band" in the carrying out of their hobby. A third, main theme, is choral-like in character and is displayed both in the (soft) brass as well as in the warm medium register of the reeds. Here, nature's beauty in and around the city of Nagano is musically celebrated. Following a "chamber-music episode" (featuring the flute, oboe, clarinet, alto-saxophone and horn) the initial allegro re-occurs, weaving its way towards a grandiose finale, in which the two previous themes are once again apparent. Due to its very colourful scoring and the enormous diversity of musical thoughts and ideas, this composition is a fascinating and memorable piece, worthy a jubilee overture!Duration: 10:15
