Oktaaviunis purkautuu Kesto 15:20 (grade 1-2), SPOL jäsenhinta 80 € alekoodilla (muut 100 €). Oktaaviunis purkautuu (sarjasta Meidän uusi orkka) säv. Anne Kankare Partituurivideo YouTubessa Meidän uusi orkka! ”Meidän uusi orkka”- sarja syntyi puhtaasti käytännön tarpeista. Sain syksyllä 2022 uuden D-orkesterin, jossa oli aika jännä kokoonpano. Seikkailu oman instrumentin kanssa oli myös vasta alkumetreillä. Tutustuimme nopeasti toisiimme improvisoinnin ja soittimilla hassuttelun kautta. Huomasin pian työskenteleväni niin mahtavan erikoisjoukon kanssa, ettei vaihtoehtona ollut kuin tehdä itse biisit. Kirjoitin kappaleita sitä mukaan, kun tarve uudelle tuli. Lopulta kehittyikin alkeispaketti, millä rauhallisesti edeten pärjää kevääseen asti, varsinkin jos harjoituksiin lisää muutakin musiikillista oheistoimintaa. Eka, toka ja kolmas biisi ovat tavallaan kivijalan muuraamista ja toimivat jatkossa myös lämmittelyinä. Aiemmin opitut toistuu ja vähitellen niiden päälle lisätään liikettä ja mausteita. Stemmoissa on muistin tueksi kirjoitettu sävelten nimiä, rytmejä ja uusia nyansseja. Sarjan nimikkokappale Meidän uusi orkka! sopii vaikka aloituskappaleeksi ensimmäiseen konserttiin. Räpin voi halutessaan tartuttaa yleisöönkin. Kilinää, kalinaa taas lähestyy joulun odotusta, jossa on kuultavissa joulupukin kolkutusta ja tiukujen kilinää. Pena Pentatonisessa tutustutaan nimensä mukaisesti pentatoniseen asteikkoon vuoropuhelujen avulla. Tippuu, tippuu, räystäästä tippuu kappaleessa tiputellaan rännistä staccatoja ja kevät tuo hymyn huulille. Oktaaviunis lähti sanahassuttelusta kollegani Tomi Nikun kanssa muotoutuen lopulta purkautuvaksi tulivuoreksi, pienellä jännityksellä.

Finnish National Wind Band Competition 2025 A-Class compulsory piece. Duration ca. 10 minutes. Take a look and listen! Composer’s note: “Dreamer's Wind” is a commission by Finlands Svenska Sång- och Musikförbund as the A-class compulsory piece for the Finnish National Wind Band Competition 2025. I set out to compose this piece from a place of beauty, nostalgia, and remembrance. While composing during the late summer of 2024, I reflected on all the beauty left behind and also the beauty that lies ahead of us, still remembering and appreciating the struggles and hardships. Ideas and visions of dreams and winds are present in the landscapes depicted by this piece — in the emotion, the movement, the energy, the shifts in atmosphere, from the small and personal to the grand and collegial. This piece aims to challenge each performer by inviting them to bring their artistry into the piece — to be dreamers, in a sense, hoping that some of the wind from my imagination catches on to your wings and dreams as you perform the music. Through my years in music, ranging from playing fast punk rock to studying complex contemporary music, I’ve come to realize that all music is difficult and requires skill, determination, and careful execution, whether it's a pulsating and repetitive accompaniment, a glorious trumpet fanfare, or a wild tutti section featuring all members of the orchestra in every imaginable register and figuration. In other words, I did not write a "competition piece" specifically, but rather something that would give each section and member of the orchestra a chance to do their best, thereby serving the piece as a whole. With these words, I give to you, “Dreamer's Wind.” The purchase includes both the score and the individual parts in PDF format.

Aatto A. Liljeström was a Finnish military band conductor and composer. He used the Finnish name A. A. Lumme as was the custom of the time. He served in several leadership roles around Finland during his career, especially in Tampere and Savonlinna. After independence in June 1918, Lilijeström was appointed the first chief conductor of the new Finnish army bands. Impromptu is one of many works he wrote for brass band and was published by the Sibelius Club in Monessen, PA. The Finnish Brass in America Series presents brass band music of immigrants and has not played in more than a century. This band sheet music was found in community band libraries and in archives in Hancock, Michigan- Virginia, Minnesota- Minneapolis, Minnesota – Conneaut, Ohio, and Fitchburg, Massachusetts. These compositions were coming from a much wider range of Finnish immigrant communities from coast to coast and reflect an intense activity during that time. The primary promoter of Finnish community music activity in the U.S. in the early 1900s was the Sibelius Club of Monessen, Pennsylvania. In cooperation with the HN White Music Company of nearby Cleveland, the Sibelius Club published many band pieces, some of which are included in this series. Several compositions are also from unpublished manuscripts. The Finnish Brass in America Series is scored primarily for original Finnish brass septet: E flat Soprano Cornet, two B flat Cornets, an E flat Alto Horn, a B flat Tenor Horn, an Euphonium, and a Tuba. However, these sets also include alternate parts for flute (piccolo), clarinet, French horn, and tenor saxophone. The original seven parts can also be played by other instrumentalists who read those clefs and transpositions (tenor saxophone, bassoon, bass clarinet, etc.) While many of us in Ameriikan poijat have contributed arrangements to this series, it has been primarily of work of Tracey Gibbens, with additional editing by Russell Pesola and Paul Niemisto. The Finnish brass septet (torviseitsikko in Finnish) has its roots in the late 19th century. The Finns that played in the army bands took their music and instruments home with them and formed brass bands in their home communities. These musicians had been trained in the army to play Russian, German, and authentic Finnish music. Many of them emigrated to America. As the music developed in Finland over the years, the tango, cabaret music, and jazz added their influence to the Finnish septet arrangements. Traveling bands and recordings from other nations influenced the music of the brass septet--and also contributed to its eventual downfall. The septet tried to adapt to these new styles, but soon fell from popularity as jazz and the music of the accordion became more fashionable. By the end of the 1930's, the age of the torviseitsikko was over, and Finland was caught up in the jazz movement. In the 1990's, a revival of the brass septet began to place in Finland due to renewed interest in their own heritage during centennial years. Ameriikan Poijat (Boys of America) is an ensemble of American brass players with an interest in Finnish heritage, playing traditional Finnish brass septet repertoire to American audiences and on international tours. Ameriikan Poijat had the honor to participate in events celebrating Finland's 75th Anniversary of independence in 1992, and has made four tours to Finland. Poijat is pleased to be representing North American Finns, reviving old traditions, and contributing to the appreciation Finnish music.
