Our composition of the Week is CUR? (Why?) from Finnish composer Jukka-Pekka Lehto (1958).
This work obtained the 1st prize in the 2009 International Composition Competition "Ciutat de Betera", in Spain. 
Cur? is a three movement 20 minutes long work written for symphonic wind orchestra, but also very suitable for the wind ensemble. Beside the standard Wind Orchestra Instrumentation, this Grade 6 challenging work calls for a Contrabass Clarinet, Contrabassoon, Soprano Saxophone, as well as piano.
This live recording is performed by the Finnish Defense Forces’ Guards Band, major Raine Ampuja conducting.
