I tried to establish a connection between the two fields of "new music" and "wind band music which sometimes are thought of as opposing. I wanted to initiate a stimulating development by using elements of one and material from the other. The piece consists of five parts:
1. Abrupt changes of hymn-phrases and a wind band-cliché; the wrong spelling in the title of the piece indicates that there is something wrong with the hymn.
2. Taking over of the activity of the cliché into an aggressive and edgy agitato-section.
3. "Gloomy": A four-phase, lonely melody in an even bar is accompanied by a curiously shifted waltz-motif which at the same time prepares the next section; a low sustained note illuminates the scenery.
4. "Waltz": The only largely undisturbed situation of the whole composition; at the end melody and movement dissolve.
5. The hymn returnes, this time uncut and with a big crescendo. On the climax it leads to the wind band cliché of the beginning with which the piece ends.
