Description:
Cobalt' was commisioned by Modum Janitsjar as own choice piece for the Norwegian Wind Band Championships, third section in 2009.
The Royal Cobalt Works of Modum were established in 1773 to extract cobalt ore from the local mines. The works were in operation until 1893.
The cobalt was used in the production of cobalt blue pigment for the world's porcelain and glass industry.
To day it is a museum showing us how people at that time worked and lived.
Most of the work was done by hand. There were also bad accidents with many fatalites.
But in their free time there were dancing and drinking, and the entire piece ends with a dance-episode including a local tune.
