Grim : Folkloric Pastiche for Wind Band

Grim was commissioned by Sandviken Ungdomskorps in 1998. Grim is a folkloristic pastiche, but also with a jazz-flavoured inspiration. The piece ends with the folk-music played on top of a theme from a march: "Sandvikguttenes marsj" to salute the band that commissioned the music. The title is taken from the word "grimen", a kind of troll that lives in water. He teaches fiddlers how to play if they offer him food a Thursday night in a north-faced waterfall.Grim was commissioned by Sandviken Ungdomskorps in 1998.

Performance time - ca. 3:00 (With opt. vocal solo and opt. men's chorus) Dimitri Tiomkin's iconic western theme from the TV series of the same name (1959-62) evokes the energy and excitement of a 19th-century cattle drive.Originally sung by Frankie Laine, the lyrics (by longtime Tiomkin collaborator Ned Washington) describe riding the range in the Wild West, with picturesque references to dogies (motherless calves) and vittles (the folk spellingfor victual or prepared food). The song remains among the most recognized of western themes, recorded by such diverse artists as Johnny Cash, The Jackson 5, Oingo Boingo, and Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi in The Blues Brothers.
