This number opens with a variation of the fanfare that has been traditionally inserted as an introduction and interlude between stanzas. The chorale is then presented in a traditional harmonization by the full band. The second section is in a faster tempo, and is based on statements of the opening motive of the hymn presented in fugal style

    FANTASY ON NORDIC THEMES (Concert Band) - Erickson, Frank

    In western culture the richest heritage of folk music is undoubtedly of British origin. Even our American folk songs owe much to this tradition and the same can be said of Nordic (Scandinavian) folk songs as well. The origin of folk songs is quite similar throughout all of Scandinavia. This is a comprehensive designed "folk music" tune that generally covers peasant songs and instrumental pieces which have survived from earlier times.

    REVERENCE FOR LIFE (Young Band) - Erickson, Frank

    Following a gentle, lyric fanfare at the opening, each section begins in a quiet way, gradually growing toward maturity, and isn't thus true of life itself? It is also hoped that other inflections of these thoughts and ideas will come to life through the music.

    TWO SONGS OF MORNING (Concert Band) - Erickson, Frank

    TWO SONGS WITHOUT WORDS (Concert Band) - Holst, Gustav - Erickson, Frank

    Two Songs Without Words was composed in 1906 and was dedicated to Ralph Vaughan Williams and is similar in style to his two suites for band. The Country Song opens with the principal theme as an unaccompanied clarinet solo, followed by its repetition in the full woodwind section. The main theme returns in a "maestoso" setting before fading into a quite closing. Marching Song is characterized by a distinctive running sixteenth note figure. The principal melody, first played by the low woodwinds, is punctuated by these same running sixteenth note fragments. Both themes are again repeated with much variation before the tempo picks up into a short coda-style ending.

    Rhythm of the Winds - By Frank Erickson

    What a great interplay of rhythms! History will remember this work as one of the most played concert and contest pieces of all time. The alternation of two rhythms---one syncopated and the other an after-beat pattern---form the rhythmic foundation for the work's theme. This rhythmic pattern has become a staple for many contemporary band compositions. It's just as classy as it is classic! (5:15) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
