Lyric Dance, Paul Okkenhaug arr. Gavin David Lee. Brass Band

Lyric Dance

Paul Okkenhaug was a prolific composer and organ virtuoso, but due to his own modesty and self-criticism, only a few of his compositions have been published.  He has composed chamber music, orchestral music, piano music, and music for the theatre.

Lyric Dance is one of Okkenhaugs best-known pieces for orchestra.  The work was composed in 1937 and won him first prize in a national composition contest.

This symphonic music is in the style of Edvard Grieg and has been arranged for Brass Band by Gavin David Lee
