has gloss | eng: Motorbike Odyssey is a concerto for solo tenor trombone and (extended) full orchestra, written by Swedish composer Jan Sandström in 1989. It was dedicated to the trombone virtuoso, Christian Lindberg. The piece is meant to be a musical telling of a modern Odysseus, traveling the world with his trombone. The performance Lindberg's world premiere serves as the guideline for how the piece should be performed. The audience sits facing the stage and the orchestra tuning. Suddenly, there is a loud engine sound, and a white motorcycle rolls onto the stage, driven by Lindberg. He is dressed in full, light red leathers and generally makes a very impressive sight. Wasting no time, the orchestra begins with haunting chords, shrieking lower and lower, and the concerto begins. |
