ALLT UNDER HIMMELENS FÄSTE
Johan Svendsen laget flere flotte folketone-bearbeidelser for strykere. Disse er alltid preget av hans smakfulle og velutviklede harmoniske sans. Allt under himmelens fäste er fra hans opus 27; To svenske folkemelodier utgitt i 1878.
Det er viktig å ha en forestilling om stryker-versjonen i bakhodet når man tolker denne blåser-utgaven - særlig med tanke på klang og karaktér.

FAR AWAY STAR
Johan Svendsen wrote several great adaptions of folk music for strings. These are all characterized by his tasteful harmonics. Far Away Star is one of the two Swedish folk songs published as op. 27 for strings in 1878.
It is important to have in mind the original string version when interpreting this instrumentation for wind instruments. This is particular important in terms of timbre and character.
