SYMPHONY NO. 1 FOR WIND BAND - SOLITUDE STANDING
De to satsene i denne symfonien er ganske like i oppbygging og lengde, og det er ikke tilfeldig.
Det jeg som komponist prøver å gjøre, er å lage to musikalske fortellinger. Disse har samme utgangspunkt og tanke, men høres og føles forskjellig.
Ofte er det slik at musikken forteller noe en ikke kan si med ord. Her står komponisten i midten av stykket, i form av en trombonesolo (eller euphonium), og prøver ensomt (Solitude Standing) å bygge bro mellom disse fortellingene.

SYMPHONY NO. 1 FOR WID BAND - SOLITUDE STANDING
The two movements in this symphony have quite similar structure and length, and this is no coincidence.
As a composer, I try to create two musical stories that comes from the same starting point and thought, but they sound and feel different.
Music often describes something you can´t say in words. This composer stands in the middle of the symphony, here personalized as trombone solo (or euphonium) and tries Solitude Standing to make a bridge between the two parts.
