Ferdaminne Helge Hurum

Serie / Series: Concert Band Originals and Classics

Helge Hurum is often inspired by elements from Norwegian folk music, like in this new work, Ferdaminne. His skills to combine themes from Norwegian folklore with his own character (style, timbres and rhythmic) is very clearly in this composition.
The motifs are from a part of Norway named Østerdalen, which has it's own character in the folklore. The music from Østerdalen is a bit undetected of the Norwegian folk music.

[NO]Helge Hurum henter ofte inspirasjon og ideer fra norsk folkemusikk. Så også i "Ferdaminne". Hans evne til å kombinere motiver fra norsk folkklore med eget særpreg (stilart, klangfarger og rytmikk) kommer tydelig fram i denne komposisjonen. Motivene er hentet fra Østerdalen som med sin egen karakter i folkloren ofte har blitt kalt et uoppdaget stykke i norsk folkemusikk.
