Sunday Bandstand 9 February 2025

Eiliv Herikstad (1942—2023) was a Norwegian music educator, composer, arranger, conductor and trombonist. He was a soldier in the Salvation Army and a contributor to the organisation's musical life, both nationally and internationally. He was among the first, if not the first, to write music influenced by swing and jazz in the Salvation Army.

He was born and raised in Fredrikstad and lived at the Fredrikstad dairy, where his parents worked, and where he received his Christian education in the Church of Norway.  He received his first training in music in the city's boys' music corps, a Janissary corps. He learned music theory primarily from the cathedral organist at Fredrikstad Cathedral.

When he was 16 and it was time to leave the boys' music, he had got to know some of the musicians at the Salvation Army in Fredrikstad and chose to play there. It was his gateway to the Salvation Army

He later studied trombone at the Oslo Conservatory of Music (MKiO) and music pedagogy at the Gothenburg Academy of Music .
