Heavy at Gnitahei / Heavy på Gnitahei Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen
Serie / Series: Concert Band Entertainment
An old norse folktune is used in this piece: The song about Sigurd, the Dragonslayer. The myth is one of the eldest norse myths.
Scenes from the myth are carved as decorations in old Norwegian stave churches, and Wagner was inspired by the myth when he wrote his opera Sigfried.
The huge dragon Fafnir is hiding in Gnitahei (up in the mountains).
He guards a fantastic treasure. Sigurd rides his horse Grane up in the mountains.
His sword Gram is made by a cunning dwarf, the only sword known to cut through dragon skin.
Heavy at Gnitahei was commissioned by Storhaug Skolekorps for their 100th anniversary in 2011.

[NO]Folketonen som benyttes er sangen om Sigurd Fåvnesbane.
Det eldgamle heltekvadet om Sigurd som klarer å drepe dragen Fåvne som vokter en fantastisk skatt er benyttet både som inspirasjon for utskjæringer i gamle norske stavkirker, men har også blitt opera som i Wagner´s "Sigfried".
Sigurd drar med hesten Grane opp på Gnitahei.
Med seg har han sverdet Gram som en dverg har smidd.
Det er det eneste sverdet som kan trenge igjennom drageskinn.
Heavy på Gnitahei ble bestilt av Storhaug Skolekorps v/Ola Koll Aune til korpsets 100-års jubileum i 2011.
