Composed by Johannes Hanssen. Arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Chamber, Classical, Contest, Festival, March. 16 pages. Sjoerd van der Veen #757989. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.1157644).Experience the majestic beauty of the fjords with this brilliant arrangement of Johannes Hanssen’s legendary Valdres March (Valdresmarsjen), masterfully reimagined for Woodwind Quintet by Sjoerd van der Veen.
Composed in 1904 and inspired by the traditional fanfare of the Valdres battalion, this piece has grown to become one of the most famous and widely performed concert marches in the wind band repertoire.
True to Sjoerd's signature arranging style, the driving rhythmic pulse and the lush, soaring cantabile melodies are expertly distributed across all five instruments rather than relying on a single lead voice. From the sparkling woodwind flourishes to the noble, resonant horn lines, every player is fully engaged. This arrangement perfectly balances classical transparency with symphonic power, making it a spectacular opening number, audience favorite, or high-energy encore for any recital!
Grade 3.5 -4.
