Dreamsong was commissioned by Geir Ulseth and Nidaros Brass Band from Trondheim, Norway, to celebrate the 70th birthday of their solo euphonium, Steinar Mørkved. They gave the premiere in a concert on 18th February 2017 in the Byscenen concert hall, Trondheim.
After a short introduction, the soloist introduces a rather nostalgic melody, accompanied by the low brass. A faster central section for the band leads to a climax and the eventual return of the main melody on solo cornet and flugel horn, overlaid with a filigree counter-melody from the soloist, who closes the piece with a short cadenza.
