Serie / Series: Concert Band Originals and Transcriptions
Few composers have had such an impact on Swedish music life as Tor Aulin (18661914). He studied violin and music theory in Stockholm 187783, and in Berlin 188486. In 1887 he founded the Aulin Quartet, which for more than 20 years played an important role in broadening Swedish interest in chamber music. The quartet was often on tour with the composer Wilhelm Stenhammar at the piano.

18891902 Aulin was the leader of the orchestra at the Royal Opera in Stockholm.
At Aulin's instigation the Concert Association in Stockholm (later The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) was founded in 1902, and he was its conductor until 1909. From then on he was the conductor of the Gothenburg Concert Association (nowadays The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra).

Besides being a first class violinist, Tor Aulin was also an accomplished pianist, and Edvard Grieg was deeply impressed by Aulin's rendering of his piano concerto.
Aulin's list of works is dominated by his music for violin. He wrote three violin concertos, the third of which still has a place in the repertoire.

Four Aquarelles for violin and piano from 1899 is his most beloved composition. In 1996 Jerker Johansson arranged this work for solo instruments, one for each of the four movements, and concert band. The solo instruments being clarinet, trumpet, flute and alto saxophone.


[NO]Få tonsättare har haft så stor betydelse för svenskt musikliv som Tor Aulin (18661914). Han studerade violin och musikteori 1877-1883 i Stockholm och 188486 i Berlin. 1887 grundade han Aulinska kvartetten som under mer än 20 års verksamhet skulle bidra till ett vidgat intresse för kammarmusik i Sverige och ofta turnerade kvartetten tillsammans med Wilhelm Stenhammar vid pianot.

18891902 var han anställd som konsertmästare i Kungliga Hovkapellet men kom med tiden att ägna sig alltmer åt dirigering. På Tor Aulins intitiativ grundades 1902 Konsertföreningen i Stockholm (numera Kungliga Filharmonikerna) vars dirigent han var fram till 1909 och var därefter dirigent för Göteborgs orkesterförening (numera Göteborgs Symfoniker).

Tor Aulin var även en skicklig pianist och Edvard Grieg var mycket imponerad av Aulins tolkning av hans pianokonsert. Aulins produktion domineras av musiken för violin. Han skrev tre solokonserter varav den tredje fortfarande har en plats i repertoaren.

Fyra akvareller för violin och piano från 1899 har blivit hans mest älskade verk. 1996 arrangerade Jerker Johansson det fyrsatsiga verket för solistiska blåsinstrument och blåsorkester. Soloinstrumenten för de olika satserna är klarinett, trumpet, flöjt och altsaxofon.
