Movements Thomas Asanger

Movements was commissioned by the company Hödlmayr International in honor of the Viertelfest by the Federation of Wind Band Music in Upper Austria in 2016. The world premiere was performed by the Landesjugendblasorchester Oberösterreich (Regional Band of Young Musicians from Upper Austria), conducted by the composer in the Brucknerhaus in Linz (Austria). The composition is about the synergy between the car industry and music. It is strongly influenced by the sounds in the factories and workshops. The tile of the composition refers to the musical idea of “movement” as well as to the literal meaning of “motion” and musically depicts what happens in the workshops. Let this composition surprise you!
