Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra
Description:
The prestigious Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra performs a diverse selection of works by Finnish roots music composer Viljam Nytköski The Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra, one of Finland’s most internationally renowned orchestras, was founded in 1972 by conductor Juha Kangas as a student orchestra in Kokkola, in the central province of Pohjanmaa. It was reorganized as a professional orchestra in 1989. Since 2013, Sakari Oramo has served as artistic director, succeeding Kangas, and in the fall of 2019, Maroj Broman of Sweden assumed the role of music director. An album commemorating the orchestra’s 50th anniversary will feature the music of “roots music composer” Viljami Niittykoski (1895–1985). Niittykoski was born in the Salonkula district of Kustinen, where the Folk Music Festival is held every July. He earned a living as a cabinetmaker and by working on the farm his parents had cleared, growing up surrounded by the music passed down by the local people. At the age of 19, he composed his first piece, “The Rose of Memories,” and in the early 1930s, he gathered local fiddle players to form the “Salonkula Orchestra.” By the time of his death in 1985, he had composed over 100 pieces. This album features “secular and religious songs and choral works modeled after composers of the National Romanticism period, such as Oskar Melikanto, Levi Madetoya, and Heikki Kremetti,” “Salon Orchestra-style instrumental pieces,” “short folk-style pieces written for the Kustinen Folk Music Festival.” With the exception of *Let’s Play with Sounds*, which was orchestrated by Nytköski himself, the pieces were arranged by Timo Ala-Kotila (1959–), Ilukka Kotaja (1980–), Lauri Plakka (1962–), and Kreeta-Maria Kentaara (1964–) from *Folk Season* (ABCD402). *Sounds of Nature*, arranged by Plakka, is a short piece consisting of five sections: “Spring Birds” at a “fairly fast tempo,” “Rippling Waves” and “Cuckoo’s Call” with “natural rhythms,” and “Whispering Pine Needles” and “Coda” performed “slowly and deeply.” King International
