Grade 5.0 Duration 07.15
Pulse is a solo work for baritone or euphonium and brass band but also available concert band - and with piano accompaniment. As the title suggests, this piece is very rhythmic in nature. Pulse represents life and vitality, which also characterises the work. The tempo remains virtually constantthroughout the piece. Even during the cadenza, played by the baritone, the pulse of the timpani continues to beat steadily. This work is dedicated to the young soloist Felix Geroldinger of upper Austria.

The versatile Norwegian guitarist and composer Knut Reiersrud has worked with many different musicians and artists throught the years. What particularly caught my ear was his collaboration with organ player Iver Kleive and saxophone player/producer Bendik Hofseth.
Three tunes played by these fine musicians form the basis of my arrangement:
Hit me with your fingerpicks,
Tramp
The barber's pulse.
Puls (Pulse) premiered at Siddis Brass 2003 and was the last piece of the performance of Eikanger-Bjørsvik Musikklag. It can be a quite daunting task to arrange or write a 'finisher', I think.
What I tried to do was: Use the Reiersrud material quite freely and make sort of a variation-type build up where key, meter and tempo changes all seek towards a big climax at the end. The arrangement features both soloists and sections of the band and includes some choreography that enhances the music.

«Purple Lips» is a nice summer ballad, inspired by the sun, summer, swimming and beach life.
The title reflects the color the children get on their lips after bathing a little too long without taking breaks on land to warm up. The parts are written in a way so that also the youngest and least-experienced musicians can play this piece well.

Quintet has been heralded as the most significant new music addition to the Canadian Brass' repertoire in the last decade. The piece is included on their CD, Amazing Brass and is a tribute to the late composer, who passed away in 2003.

First performed in Vienna on the 31st August 1848, the Radetzky March is one of Strauss’ most enduring pieces. It was commissioned to celebrate the Austrian Empire’s victory over Sardinia at the Battle of Custoza earlier that year, and was named for and dedicated to the Austrian commander, Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz.
When it was first played in front of Austrian officers, they spontaneously clapped and stamped their feet when they heard the trio; a tradition that continues to this day with audiences. It is traditionally played as the last piece at the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra’s New Year's Concerts.
