Berghoff: Olympic Tune

Informatie

Basically works of the EXPLORA series are easy in terms of form and structure, as they were especially composed for young bands or smaller groups. This does not imply, however, that this kind of music must sound to be simple. OLYMPIC TUNE, for example, relies on modern techniques of composition, and the subject is also of current impact. Its main motif could be taken from a science fiction movie, and in addition to the different wind instruments, the percussion section also plays an important role. The main motif in the first two measures is through-composed as far as possible, and it also is the central theme throughout the entire piece.
