Description:
Commissioned by the Norwegian Band Federation and Tom Brevik. Composed in 1991.
The composer: 'Elegy and March was one of my first original compositions (no quotations, no folk-tunes) and it was one of my earliest attempts to experiment with form.
The elegy-part is quite obvious, but the march is not quite a march. If the elegy-part tells a sad story, then the march should tell a happy story.
My problem is that I don't think life is like that.
Result: the march collapses! '
