"Who can Sail without the Wind" is an old folk tune from Åland in Finland, here in an arrangement for band in 5/4 jazzwaltz-style!
The rhythm is originally a 3/4 time signature, but in this arrangement for band I have chosen a kind of jazz waltz feeling with 5/4 time signature. That makes a distinctive, kind of "rocking" rhythm. A bit of the melancholy certainly disappear, but it's replaced by cool riffs and rhythms.
