To the Fallen is a work for brass quintet by Swedish composer Henrik Dahlgren, written in 2016. The piece is a musical reflection on loss, remembrance and those who have gone before us.
The music moves between powerful, dramatic passages and more intimate, reflective moments. It creates a sense of solemnity and vulnerability, while also carrying a feeling of strength and hope. Rather than telling a specific story, the piece leaves room for the listener to create their own connection to the music and to those they wish to remember.
To the Fallen works particularly well in concert programs dealing with remembrance, loss, history or reflection. It can also function as a powerful standalone work, offering a contrasting and emotionally charged moment within a brass quintet program.
