He was an exceptionally inspiring pedagogue and personality who made friends and contacts all around the world. He wanted his solo euphonium player at the Göteborg Brass Band, Patrik Randefalk, to play a melodic, sonorous tune in the upper register in a concert that consisted of Bengt’s own favourite music. Patrik then commissioned \u003cstrong\u003eSong \u003c\/strong\u003efrom Frode Rydland before Christmas 2006. Bengt was at the time very sick from cancer. The premiere took place in Frölunda Kyrka, Göteborg on the 4th ofMarch 2007. Bengt conducted the concert himself, only three weeks before his sad death. \u003cstrong\u003eSong (in memoriam Bengt Eklund) \u003c\/strong\u003eis a rather simple tune, but nonetheless, quite beautiful. Patrik tells that Bengt loved the simple, which you made something out of.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrode Rydland\u003c\/strong\u003e (born 1971), studied trumpet and pedagogy at the Grieg Academy, University of Bergen.
