Fantasy on My Heart remains in Wonder / Mitt hjerte alltid vanker - Fantasi Hans Adolph Brorson / Arr. Svein Henrik Giske

Serie / Series: Brass Band Christmas
This arrangement was commissioned by B3 (The Bergen Woodwind Ensemble).
B3 is a large woodwind ensemble located in Bergen with a mix of professional and amateur players.

My Heart Remains in Wonder is a well-known Christmas hymn in Scandinavia.
I wanted my version to be different to the traditional hymn tune style in which it is normally performed.

One day I was outside walking and this idea came to me: an ostinato-like, mechanical skeleton of arpeggio semiquavers on which I could 'hang' the melody.

However, I also wanted to do the melody line a bit different.
The inspiration for this comes from folk music and the way fiddlers hardly ever lift their bow off the strings when they play. Because of this, it is important that the melody is played in a very sostenuto style in this arrangement.

The harmonies lie somewhere between jazz and folk music with a little nod towards Grieg (himself heavily influenced by folk music) in the slow middle section.


[NO]Dette arrangementet ble opprinnelig bestilt av B3 (Bergen Treblåsensemble) som jeg har skrevet en del musikk til de seneste årene.

Jeg ønsket å gjøre noe annet med Mitt hjerte alltid vanker enn den tradisjonelle salmeinnpakningen. En dag jeg var ute og gikk, kom idéen om å ha dette ostinat-aktige, mekaniske skjelettet av arpeggio 16-deler som jeg kunne henge melodien på.

Men, jeg ønsket å gi melodien en ny drakt i tillegg. I dette arrangementet er den inspirert av folkemusikk og måten felespillere nesten aldri løfter buen av strengen når de spiller.

Derfor er det viktig at melodien spilles veldig utholdt (sostenuto) i dette arrangementet.

Harmonikken ligger i et slags grenseland mellom folkemusikk og jazz med et lite nikk til Grieg (som også var svært påvirket av folkemusikk) i den rolige midtdelen.
