Bjorn SagstadAbout
You can name all kinds of music, and of course there is much music in the world which is of interest — you can name some of the great canons, certainly they are interesting! But all other music is reduced to nothing compared with a good military march.
With these words the writer Agnar Mykle pays tribute to military music. Whether one agrees or not, it is impossible not to be swept away by Mykle’s enthusiasm – bracing marching rhythms played by a decent band are intoxication enough for anyone. And the writer’s words certainly bear witness to the cultural importance of military music – whether they are marches or any other kind of music.
The Norwegian Army disbanded the ensemble on December 31, 2002, and all the musician posts were transferred to the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra as of January 1, 2003. Under its new name Kristiansand Blåseensemble (“Kristiansand Wind Ensemble”), the band is now part of a unique orchestra model in Norway. Three main groups share activities: Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra, Kristiansand Chamber Orchestra and Kristiansand Wind Ensemble.Bjørn Sagstad
"We lack sensitivity here for everything except politics and — sport!"
Edvard Grieg wrote those words to Percy Grainger in 1907, expressing his despair at the low standard of culture among Norwegians compared with the rest of the world. Has the situation improved? The question shall remain open – since Grieg’s time at least one Norwegian cultural tradition has developed, which other countries may envy us: the tradition of wind bands. Many of Norway’s leading talents received their first inspiration and training through the voluntary activities of school wind bands, and let it be oft repeated: the importance of this movement for Norway’s music life – at every level – must not be underestimated! The conductor Bjørn Sagstad too began his musical career in his local wind band.
