Graduation

by Juuso Wallin  (grade 4 / dur. 5´17´´) 70 €/USD 90

 

Premiered by the Satakunta Symphonic Band in 2005, "Graduation by young Finnish composer Juuso Wallin

 is a useful opening work for a concert, with the initial fanfare giving way to a quite intricate development of the material in compound meters...

Still in his early 20’s, Wallin is a composer to keep an eye out for in the future".

October Sun

by Jukka Viitasaari (grade 4 / dur. 8´00´´) 70 €/USD 90

 

From the files of Satakunta Symphonic Band: light and shade/fire & brimstone

 

"Back to premieres of new Finnish music and October Sun by Jukka Viitasaari. Adept and prolific at school and youth band level, Viitasari has an extensive output published by Edition 7. October Sun perhaps reflects this background a little, being relatively safe in terms of orchestration and doublings, but Viitasaari has a good ear for colour and with careful balancing this is an effective tone poem...certainly school band directors looking for something a little different would do well to investigate his catalogue". -Mark Heron, http://www.timreynish.com/finland.htm"http://www.timreynish.com/finland.htm
