Parcourez les partitions de piano de Kjetil Bjerkestrand sur Zen Virtual Piano. As the son and grandson of organists, Bjerkestrand found that playing the organ came naturally, and he also began composing early. He studied church music at the Norwegian Academy of Music from 1974 to 1978. Applausen quotes a former teacher at the academy as saying he discovered Kjetil's gift when Kjetil began there. He took the organist and cantor examination, but his professional road turned out to be a different one. An organist's family and a church-music degree followed by a different career suggest a musician who used a traditional foundation as a base for something broader, even if he left the organ loft. The first years after his studies were mostly studio work, with artists such as Arve Tellefsen, a-ha, Dance with a Stranger, Ray Charles, Dee Dee Bridgewater, TNT, Ian Hunter and Solveig Slettahjell. Gradually composing and arranging took over, with eighteen feature films, more than twenty theatre productions and dozens of TV films, and a long collaboration with Ivo Caprino. Several films and television series carry his music, much of it made with Magne Furuholmen as Timbersound. A move from session work to scoring films and plays hints at a musician who followed the demand for his writing as it grew, with composing slowly replacing session work. The Gammleng Prize came to him in 1988, and in 1998 he and Furuholmen shared the Edvard Prize for the music of the TV series Hotel Oslo. Other honors include the Rolf Gamleng grant, the Blåtone Prize and the Kardemomme grant. The Nye Noter site says he works at the meeting point of pop or rock and contemporary music, inspired by Messiaen's modes, which he lets meet the triads of pop and rock. A composer mixing Messiaen's modes with pop triads suggests a style that sits between genres and which listeners may find hard to place. The fanfare played at the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Concert on December 11, 2007, at Oslo Spektrum was composed by Bjerkestrand and performed by the young trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth, and it was broadcast live on Norwegian television. In 2010 he released the solo album Piano Poems on Kirkelig Kulturverksted, and he is now artistic director of the Kristiansund festival. Applausen adds that he can turn his knowledge into performing music in different styles, which it calls truly impressive. He has said in an interview that he found his own style only after passing sixty. A musician who says he found his own style after sixty suggests how long the path from wide skill to a personal voice can take.
