The Old Halden Town / Gamle Halden Oscar Borg / Arr. New Instrumentation Bjørn Mellemberg

Serie / Series: Oscar Borg Edition

Norwegian composer and conductor Oscar Borg conducted the 1st Brigade Band (now the Norwegian Wind Ensemble) in Halden for more than 40 years. This march was probably composed sometime between 1905 and 1920, though we know little about its origin. However, what we do know is that ever since it was composed, this march has been a part of the repertoire for this ensemble on every 17th of May (Norway's national day).

[NO]Oscar Borg var dirigent i 1. Brigades Musikkorps i Halden i over 40 år. Denne marsjen er udatert (sansynligvis komponert en gang mellom 1905 og 1920). Vi vet lite om opprinnelsen, men den har vært en del av 17. maiprogrammet til dette korpset (nå Det Norske Blåseensemble) i alle år.
