{"product_id":"dagsland-sigvart-michelangelo","title":"Dagsland, Sigvart - Michelangelo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichelangelo\u003c\/strong\u003e is recorded on \u003cstrong\u003eNorwegian Euphonium\u003c\/strong\u003e accompanied by the Eikanger-Bjørsvik band. Fundamental Music is proud to present this popular piece in versions for wind band and piano accompaniments respectively. Norwegian singer and songwriter \u003cstrong\u003eSigvart Dagsland\u003c\/strong\u003e is the man behind the pop song about Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet Michelangelo (1475-1564). Dagsland, born in Stavanger but lives in Bergen, is a well respected artist in Norway. He is famous for his great melodies and strong lyrics, which often have a Christian undertone. In \u003cstrong\u003eMichelangelo\u003c\/strong\u003e, the lyricist Erik Hillestad describes the Italian’s life as a haunted man – and Dagsland’s beautiful melancholic tune underlines the serious message in the lyrics. The song was first recorded on the album \u003cstrong\u003eBedre enn stillhet\u003c\/strong\u003e (Better than Silence) from 1992.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe arranger, \u003cstrong\u003eFrode Rydland\u003c\/strong\u003e, is the soprano cornetist and one of my good friends from Eikanger-Bjørsvik. He is also a freelance trumpeter, teacher and conductor in addition to his highly productive arranging carrier. Frode got a commission from the Bergen Brass Band and conductor Stian Svendsen to arrange a show compiled of Dagsland’s music for the 2004 Siddis Brass entertainment contest. \u003cstrong\u003eMichelangelo\u003c\/strong\u003e is a lovely melody, and Frode’s arrangement is top class as always. The piece has certainly proved to be a great success as a euphonium solo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFundamental Music\u003c\/strong\u003e was established in October 2005. ‘Fundamental’ came up when I was searching for anagrams to the name of my son, Amund Flaten. ‘Fundamental’ is indeed a perfect anagram to his name, thus giving the word a strong personal meaning and association. For me, music is also a fundamental aspect of my life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tormod Flaten Solo Series\u003c\/strong\u003e features the first published works on \u003cstrong\u003eFundamental Music\u003c\/strong\u003e and it consists solely of arrangements and compositions for euphonium. Most of the first published titles are recorded on my CD’s \u003cstrong\u003eFlight\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eNorwegian Euphonium\u003c\/strong\u003e and we continue to bring out more quality music in this series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Tormod Flaten\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParts: BC and TC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fundamental Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51509049360553,"sku":"D100","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/0947\/9849\/files\/Dagsland1.jpg?v=1793916115","url":"https:\/\/maxoutlet.shop\/products\/dagsland-sigvart-michelangelo","provider":"Sterling Grove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
