An elegant concert piece, duration ca. 3´30´´. The Composer in his own words: The musical material of this piece is based on eight notes of a synthetic scale presented as a falling melody of antidactyluses in introduction, in the middle turn and in the Coda. There are four enharmonic chords emerged of this scale constituting a central, melodic-harmonic construction of the peacefully flowing A turn. The rest of this sophisticated "candid march" reminds of a safe, slightly grandiloquent wind band repertoire. An excellent piece for concert, capable for gigs, pedantically playable for market.

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.
