Tognum Power Jerker Johansson

Serie / Series: Concert Band Originals and Transcriptions

The German engine manufacturer MTU Friedrichshafen, which long has had its own Concert Band, in 2006 became part of Tognum AG, which commissioned Tognum Power in 2009. That both companies produce powerful engines naturally was a heavy influence on a piece for Concert Band, which indeed is a most powerful type of ensemble. The character of the piece is heroic, alternating between lyrical and dramatic sections. Tognum Power was premiered in Friedrichshafen on April 12, 2009, by the MTU Orchestra (MTU-Bläserensemble) under Reiner Hobe.

[NO]Den tyska motortillverkaren MTU Friedrichshafen, som länge haft en egen blåsorkester, blev 2006 en del av Tognum AG och företaget beställde 2009 ett nyskrivet verk till en jubileumskonsert. Att båda företagen tillverkar kraftfulla motorer var naturligtvis en tacksam inspiration till att skriva något för blåsorkester som i sig är en synnerligen kraftfull ensembleform. Verket har en heroisk stil med omväxlande lyriska och dramatiska avsnitt. Tognum Power uruppfördes den 12 april 2009 av MTU-Bläserensemble i Friedrichshafen under ledning av Reiner Hobe.
