Work introduction
After trombone player in the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra Thorbjørn Lønmo heard Silent Wave for piano performed by Simon Trpceski during the Oslo Philharmonic tour in Spain, he suggested that I should have the piece arranged for brass quintet. I appreciated the idea, and we started working together on this project.
Here, some words about my inspiration when I started writing the original: “Silent Wave for piano”.
Whether you are out at sea or you are standing on the shore looking outwards, you sometimes may observe these rolling silent waves giving you an impression of a water-landscape rising and falling in regular sequences that over time may calm you down in an almost meditative way. Once, when I by chance hit some chords at my piano, I was inspired to start working on a piano piece titled Silent Wave because this opening chord sequence reminded me of such waves at sea.
