Three Stages of Placebo Hans Offerdal

Serie / Series: Young Brass Band

This piece is about the anxiety of going to the doctor, the effect of taking too many pills, and the frustration of not getting the proper medication!

Three movements:
I - At the Doctor
II - Under the Influence
III - Back to the Doctor

To the conductor:
This piece present challenges regarding accidentals and dissonant chords but consists for the most part of simpler rhythms and texture. There is much use of repeating patterns. The use of dynamics is of importance throughout the whole piece and should present an interesting challenge.

[NO]Dette stykket handler om angsten for å gå til lege, virkningen av å ta for mange piller, og frustrasjonen over å ikke få riktig medisin!

Tre satser:
I - At the Doctor
II - Under the Influence
III - Back to the Doctor

Til dirigenten:
Dette stykket byr på utfordringer vedrørende løse fortegn og dissonerende samklanger, men består hovedsakelig av enkel tekstur og enkel rytmikk. Det er mye bruk av repeterende figurer. Bruken av dynamikk er avgjørende gjennom hele stykket og kan være en interessant utfordring.
