The Celebration / Den store dagen Benny Borg / Arr. Bjorn Morten Kjaernes

Serie / Series: Brass band Entertainment
This beautiful song contains a huge contrast between the hopeful and the disappointing. A mother has her birthday and is waiting her children to celebrate it. Each verse starts optimistically, but the short chorus is characterized by the disappointment, that everyone calls, and cannot come. This has been tried recreated musically, mostly in the last two choruses, as it dawns on her that she will not receive a visit. It's a beautiful tune, but with a serious message that it's easy to take someone for granted.

One of the elements Hjørring Brass Band (DK) came up with after rehearsal, was that they really liked the change between the ballad parts with even eights and the swing parts. This also gives the piece a sense of "parlando" character, which tells a story, and is therefore important to focus. It is not quite simple, as the melody also in those parts with even eights has some triplet rhythms. Therefore, this is a topic you can work on very consciously.

If you have heard the Wind Band version, you can notice that both keys and modulation are different in the Brass Band arrangement to sound better for this instrumentation.
Regarding instrumentation, Flugelhorn, Solo Horn and Euphonium have important roles, in addition to Solo Cornet.

It is also possible to use a vocal soloist, but then you have to soften the melody voices, especially, where small variations in the melody have been made for the wind instruments.


[NO]Denne vakre sangen har en stor kontrast i seg mellom det forhåpningsfulle og det skuffende. En mor fyller år og venter på sine barn for å feire bursdag. Hvert vers starter optimistisk, men det korte refrenget preges av skuffelsen over at hver og en ringer og ikke kan komme. Dette er prøvd gjenskapt musikalsk, mest i de to siste refreng, da det går opp for henne at hun ikke vil få besøk. Det er en vakker melodi, men med et alvorlig budskap om at det er lett å ta noen for gitt.

Et av elementene Hjørring Brass Band (DK) kom med etter prøvespilling, var at de likte meget godt vekslingen mellom ballade partiene med jevne åttendeler og de swing baserte delene. Dette gir også stykket en følelse av «parlando» karakter, som forteller en historie, og er derfor viktig å fokusere på. Helt enkelt er det ikke, da melodien også i de delene med jevne åttendeler har en del triol bevegelser. Derfor er dette et tema man kan arbeide meget bevisst med.

Har man hørt Janitsjar versjonen kan man legge merke til at både tonearter og modulering er forskjellig for å klinge bedre i et Brass Band.
Besetningsmessig, har flygelhorn, solo Horn og euphonium viktige roller, i tillegg til Solo Cornet.

Det er også mulig å bruke sang solist, men da må man dempe melodi stemmene, spesielt, der det er laget små variasjoner i melodiføringen for blåserne.
