Original

Helios Overture. Opus 17. Composed by Carl August Nielsen. 1865-1931. Arranged by Douglas McLain. For Concert Band. Grade 5. Full score and set of parts. Duration 12. 30. Published by Baton Music. BF.BM276-SET. 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. Compost per Carl August Nielsen. 1865-1931. Arreglat per Douglas McLain. Per a Banda de Concert. 5è Grau. Partitura general i conjunt de peces. Durada 12. 30. Publicat per Baton Music. BF.BM276-SET. L'Helios Overture va ser composta el 1903, mentre que Nielsen estava de vacances a les illes gregues. La peça es diu per representar el curs del sol a través del cel des de l'alba fins a la posta del sol. Tot i que l'obra va ser composta a Grècia, hi ha indicis inequívocs de sabor escandinau - No es pot deixar d'imaginar la secció de vents d'obertura com una banya víking fent-se ressò de les escarpades parets d'un fiord. O les glaceres canviant els acords al retransition. En el cas de Nielsen, sembla que un pot prendre el compositor d'Escandinàvia, però no Escandinàvia fora del compositor. Nielsen és més recordat per les seves sis simfonies imponents, els concerts per a flauta i clarinet, el quintet de vent de fusta, el to poemes cassola i la siringe i A Fantasia Viatge a les Illes Fèroe, i l'etapa funciona Maskarade i Saül i David. A Dinamarca, també és famosa per moltes cançons nacionalistes que encara es duen a terme amb regularitat.
