Michelangelo for Euphonium and Piano, Sigvart Dagsland arr. Frode Rydland

The Tormod Flaten Solo Series  Michelangelo for Euphonium and Piano, Sigvart Dagsland arranged by Frode Rydland

Michelangelo is recorded on Norwegian Euphonium accompanied by the Eikanger-Bjørsvik band. Fundamental Music is proud to present this popular piece in versions for wind band and pianoaccompaniments respectively.

Norwegian singer and songwriter Sigvart Dagsland 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 hav a Christian undertone. In Michelangelo, 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 Bedre enn stillhet (better than Silence) from 1992.
