Reach for the Sky Jerker Johansson

Serie / Series: Concert Band Originals and Transcriptions
Reach for the Sky was composed by Jerker Johansson at the time he was serving as principal conductor for The Royal Swedish Air Force Band. The march, written in a classical British style, was premiered 30th of January 2000 dedicated to all the employees of the Swedish Air Force. The idea for the piece came to Jerker when he was on a concert tour in Scandinavia. Overwhelmed by the grandeur and the majestic landscape of Norwegian mountains and fjords he was inspired to form a piece as being one with nature. Thematic unity mirrors man and nature unified and all melodies are built on the opening motive, presented in a traditional form, with a glimpse of rhapsody. The title alludes to the Air Force, but further more also a reminder to all of us to stay with our dreams and visions.


[NO]Reach for the Sky beställdes under den tid Jerker Johansson var dirigent för Flygvapnets Musikkår. Marschen uruppfördes den 30 januari 2000 och är tillägnad alla anställda inom det svenska flygvapnet. Inspirationen till detta verk fick Jerker under en konsertresa i Norge då han överväldigades av det storslagna landskapet. Fjordarna, fjällen och känslan av att vara ett med naturen gestaltas i musiken genom en tematisk enhetlighet. Samtliga melodier bygger på det inledande motivet och formen är traditionell med rapsodiska inslag. Styckets titel är en anspelning på flygvapnet men också en påminnelse om att hålla fast vid våra inre drömmar och visioner.
