Bent Fabricius-Bjerre

Olsenbanden

This theme is well known by most Scandinavians, whether you are young or old. Bent Fabricius-Bjerre is one of the Nordic region's greatest film music composers, who is also behind such titles as 'Alley Cat' and the music for 'Matador'. There exists an excellent arrangement for Wind Band by Lars Erik Gudim, but if you do not have the band to play this, we hope that this arrangement, written in the SHOWBLOW series, will suit many small and medium-sized bands (From 5 players or more). There is also an arrangement in the 'Debut series' by Scott Rodgers for the very youngest.

The style itself fits very well in the 'Showblow' series, but as is often the case in film music, the themes are quite short. To get a variation on the theme, musical ideas from the composer's own performances are used in this arrangement. The same applies to introduction and the end. If you want, it can also be used as a march, just change the drum part. It will guaranteed put a smile on the audience.
