About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 5 SKU: WJ.3014901 Composed by Johan Halvorsen. Arranged by John R. Bourgeois. Concert Band Grade 4 & Up. Bourgeois Editions. Concert and Contest. Concert and Contest. Score and parts. Wingert-Jones Publications #3014901. Published by Wingert-Jones Publications (WJ.3014901). UPC: 822424020606. 9 x 12 inches.Johan Halvorsens In Memoriam, Opus 30 was written for the great Norwegian poet Bjornstjerne Bjornson. The two men became very close friends and Halvorsen composed a funeral march in Bjornsons honor upon his death in 1910. The musics link with Bjornson is underscored by the fact that it opens with a paraphrase of the Norwegian national anthem. At the peak, it suddenly falls away, and following a roll of the timpani, the anthem is played in its entirety. Vocal parts sung by members of the ensemble contribute to the overall effect and make this a most memorable and moving work.
