New NOMU project – new notes/works in 5 grades from the nordic countries for the nordic orchestras – this time FINNISH WIND BAND MUSIC
NOMU – the Nordic Orchestra Music Union – presents Nordic wind band
repertoire on the first Saturday of every month. We invite conductors to
discover new Nordic music, showcase our composers, and inspire the continued creation of repertoire across the region.
This spring, we will share exciting suggestions to bring fresh sounds and
new ideas to bands everywhere – and ensure Nordic music gets the spotlight it deserves.
This time, the focus is on Finland. Explore fresh and inspiring Finnish works
— and discover new pieces for your ensemble’s repertoire
Grade 1
Timo Forström: Lucky Boy
Duration: 2´10
One can have real full-bodied musical repertoire even
with modest playing skills. Lucky Boy encourages the
aspiring musician to develop oneself as well as creates
faith in the listeners. Lucky Boy is downright playable
already by a musician with only six months of musical
experience with one’s instrument.

Jukka Viitasaari: The School Detective
Duration: 2´30
The ever-vigilant hall monitor, always on patrol for delinquents running amok, needs a secret assistant in tough times like this. That’s where the School Detective comes
in! Navigate through winding chromatic passages set to groovy ostinati and drum fills.
