Original tekst

Helios Overture. Opus 17. Composed by Carl August Nielsen. 1865-1931. Arranged by Douglas McLain. For Concert Band. Grade 5. Full score. Duration 12. 30. Published by Baton Music. BF.BM276-SCORE. 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. Komponeret af Carl August Nielsen. 1865-1931. Arrangeret af Douglas McLain. For Concert Band. Grade 5. Fuld score. Varighed 12. 30. Udgivet af Baton Music. BF.BM276-SCORE. Helios Overture er komponeret i 1903, mens Nielsen var på ferie i de græske øer. Stykket siges at skildre forløbet af solen gennem himlen fra solopgang til solnedgang. Selvom stykket er komponeret i Grækenland, er der umiskendelige antydninger af skandinavisk smag - kan man ikke undgå at forestille åbning horn afsnittet som en viking horn ekko fra de stejle vægge en fjord. Eller den glacially skiftende akkorder på retransition. I Nielsens sag fremgår det, at man kan tage komponisten ud af Skandinavien, men ikke Skandinavien ud af komponisten. Nielsen mest husket for sine seks tårnhøje symfonier, de koncerter for fløjte og klarinet, den træblæser kvintet, tonen digte Pan og Syrinx og A Fantasy Rejsen til Færøerne, og scenen arbejder Maskarade og Saul og David. Inden Danmark, han er også berømt for mange nationalistiske sange, der stadig regelmæssigt udføres.
