Festival Polka Jerker Johansson

Serie / Series: Concert Band Entertainment

[EN]
The Festival Polka was first time performed by the Royal Swedish Army Band 1987. Jerker Johansson served as percussionist during his military service and was asked to be soloist with the band for the final concert. Not just did he accept the honour to be soloist, but also composed the Festival Polka for the occasion. The Festival Polka is also known in a version for xylophone and brass band. This version was premiered as one of the pieces of free choice at the World Brass Band Championship 1988, Australia, by Göteborg Brass Band winning the first prize. The success of the piece was spread and is today performed in many countries worldwide.


[NO]När Jerker Johansson gjorde sin militärtjänstgöring som slagverkare i Arméns Musikpluton 1987 blev han ombedd att på sista konserten spela ett xylofonsolo. Detta gjorde han gärna under förutsättning att han fick komponera ett eget. Festival Polka skrevs ursprungligen för xylofon och blåsorkester men har lika ofta framförts för xylofon och brass band. Den fanns med bland de fritt valda styckena när Göteborgs Brass Band vann ”World Brass Band Championship 1988” i Australien. Dirigent var då Bengt Eklund och bakom xylofonerna fanns Jerker och hans gode vän Per Björkqvist. Sedan dess har stycket spelats i länder som USA, Ryssland, England, Norge, Schweiz, Frankrike och Japan.
