Circius Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen

Serie / Series: Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen Signature Edition - BRASS
The work is important for me because it was my first piece to be performed outside Norway. Black Dyke Band/David King performed it and did a recording of it in 1991.

In the original score I quote a Swedish bishop (Olaus Mangnus) who lived in the 15th century. He travelled around Scandinavia and drew maps - very important historic material.

When he came to the north of Norway (where I come from) he decribed the wind from the north as Ciricus: (something like) Worst of all winds is Circius, that revolves (?= turn upside down) heaven and earth.» (Well, not a good translation I´m afraid).

The fast sections reflects the mighty winds from the north. In the middle section, I borrowed a folksong-like tune (by C. Elling, a Norwegian composer). The text (by Kristoffer Janson) tells about old times when the fishermen used open boats: they had to put their lives in the hands of God.


[NO]Dette verket betyr mye for meg fordi det var mitt første verk som ble fremført utenfor Norge da Black Dyke Band/David King bade fremførte det og spilte det inn i 1991.

I verket siterer jeg en svensk biskop (Olaus Mangnus) som levde på 1500-tallet. Han reiste rundt i Skandinnavia og tegnet mange kart som inneholdt betydningsfullt historisk materiale.

Da han kom til nord-Norge (landsdelen jeg kommer fra) beskriv han vinden fra nord som Circius den verste og sterkeste av alle vinder.

De raske delene i stykket reflekterer de mektige vindene fra nord. I midt-delen lånte je gen folkemuskk-aktig melodi av den norske komponisten C: Elling. Teksten til denne (av Kristoffer Janson) forteller om gamle dager da fiskerne hadde åpne båter og la sine egne liv I Guds hender.
