Oorspronklik

Helios Overture. Opus 17. Composed by Carl August Nielsen. 1865-1931. Arranged by Douglas McLain. For Concert Band. Grade 5. Full score and set of parts. Duration 12. 30. Published by Baton Music. BF.BM276-SET. The Helios Overture was composed in 1903 while Nielsen was on holiday in the Greek isles. The piece is said to depict the course of the sun through the sky from dawn to sunset. Even though the piece was composed in Greece, there are unmistakable hints of Scandinavian flavor - can one not fail to picture the opening horn section as a Viking horn echoing from the steep walls of a fjord. Or the glacially changing chords at the retransition. In Nielsen's case, it appears that one can take the composer out of Scandinavia, but not Scandinavia out of the composer. Nielsen is most remembered for his six towering symphonies, the concertos for Flute and clarinet, the woodwind quintet, the tone poems Pan and Syrinx and A Fantasy Journey to the Faroes, and the stage works Maskarade and Saul and David. Within Denmark, he is also famous for many nationalistic songs which are still regularly performed.

Helios Overture. Opus 17. Saamgestel deur Carl Augustus Nielsen. 1865-1931. Gereël deur Douglas McLain. Vir Concert Band. Graad 5. Volle telling en stel dele. Duur 12. 30. Gepubliseer deur Baton Musiek. BF.BM276-SET. Die Helios Overture is gekomponeer in 1903, terwyl Nielsen was op vakansie in die Griekse eilande. Die stuk is gesê deur die loop van die son deur die lug uit te beeld van sonop tot sononder. Selfs al is die stuk is saamgestel in Griekeland, is daar onmiskenbare wenke van Skandinawiese geur - kan 'n mens nie daarin slaag om die opening horing artikel as 'n Viking horing weerklink uit die steil wande van 'n fjord te beeld. Of die glacially veranderende akkoorde by die retransition. In Nielsen se geval is, blyk dit dat 'n mens kan die komponis neem uit Skandinawië, maar nie Skandinawië uit die komponis. Nielsen is die meeste onthou word vir sy ses manjifieke simfonieë, die concerto vir fluit en klarinet, die houtblasers kwintet, die toondigte Pan en Syrinx en 'n fantasie Reis na die Faroëreilande en die stadium werk Maskarade en Saul en Dawid. Binne Denemarke, hy is ook bekend vir baie nasionalistiese liedere wat nog gereeld uitgevoer.
