    Flashback

    (by Antti Nissilä)

    grade 2,5

    dur 3'

    score + parts 40 €

An energetic piece of rock music with a challenging low brass solo that can also be played on the electric bass.

The screaming woodwind solos fire up the latter half of the piece, and the energy never fails. A sure-fire hit with young musicians once they have navigated its rhythmical difficulties.

    Hot Sand

    (by Antti Nissilä)

    grade 2

    dur 3'

    score + parts 40 €

The hot sand goes flying as the percussion section kicks off this Latin number. Towards the middle there is a surprise,

the woodwind and then the brass being allowed to show off without percussion support. An excellent piece for a pops concert!

    Jorpakon legenda (Tingle In The Tangle)

    (by Antti Nissilä)

    grade 1,5

    dur 2'

    score + parts 30 €

Relaxed dotted rhythms and a slightly sarcastic melody make this easy introductory piece worth looking at.

    Local Heroes

    (by Antti Nissilä)

    grade 1,5

    dur 2' 30''

    score + parts 40 €

Local Heroes makes the musicians become exactly what the title says. The handsome introduction has its challenges, and before the tempo change there is a brilliant crescendo and ritardando. The same rhythm is played by all instruments in turn, and after playing this piece everyone will be able to produce a double-accent triplet. A fine and engaging beginners’ piece.

    Yökulkue (Night Procession)

    (by Antti Nissilä)

    grade 1

    dur 2'

    score + parts 30 €

Yökulkue (Night Procession) is mystical and compelling. In both pieces [Prairie Wind and Night Procession], the same rhythm is shared by many sections, inspiring mutual learning and boldness in playing. Good for first concerts.
