Commissioned by the Royal Norwegian Navy Band.

In 1911, the Australian pianist and composer (and friend of Edvard Grieg), Percy Grainger (1882-1961) went on a tour in Norway. He performed more than forty concerts over a few months.

Fifty years later, in 2011, The Royal Norwegian Marine Band made a concert project called 'Percy Grainger Revisited Tour'.

'Frånarormen' is a worm or a dragon as described in norse medieval ballads.
I have used four different tunes from the region Telemark were Frånarormen is mentioned in the text. The piece is a musical reflection - not at all as drammatic as the text. It is like a picture of an old fairytale and a dwell on the sound of ancient songs.

The piece can be performed without the piano part. Instructions to be found in the percussion parts.
