YNGVE SLETTHOLM: ELEGY
for brass quintet
YNGVE SLETTHOLM
Yngve Slettholm, Norwegian composer, conductor, musicologist and administrator completed his studies at the Norwegian State Academy of Music in composition under Finn Mortensen, receiving his diploma in composition in 1980.
From 1986-88, with a Fulbright grant, he studied theory, music history and composition at the State University of New York at Buffalo, with Morten Feldman as his teacher in composition. Slettholm received his PhD in composition in 1989, and has since been awarded several prizes and grants. Read More
Yngve Slettholm has been particularly interested in the relationship between music and time. He points out as an important aspect of modern thought, that linear conception of time is by no means exclusive. This is reflected in music of the 20th century, which not only attempts emancipation from goal-directed tonality and periodicity, but also from goal-directed form.

This is reflected in music of the 20th century, which not only attempts emancipation from goal-directed tonality and periodicity, but also from goal-directed form.
In his own music this reflection has led to a strong concentration on timbral nuances and a more inward-focused, contemplative form of expression, as in his beautiful Elegy written for the ABQ in 1978.
