A Nordic Noel
A Celtic and Scandinavian-inspired orchestral EP created under a simple, slightly unreasonable question: could two composers write four full-length orchestral pieces in only twenty-four hours?
In December of 2025, Jordan Green and a composer friend from UTSA set out to find the answer. The result was A Nordic Noel, a fast-moving collaboration filled with sweeping textures, wintry color, and stirring melodic ideas.

Four orchestral pieces written in one day.
The story behind the project
A wild deadline, a shared musical language, and a lot of creative momentum.
A Nordic Noel was built around creative pressure. Instead of treating the deadline as a limitation, Jordan and his collaborator used it as the engine for the project. Every decision had to move quickly. Every idea had to either serve the sound or make way for the next one.
01
The idea
Write four full-length orchestral songs in a single twenty-four-hour period.
02
The world
Draw inspiration from Celtic and Scandinavian landscapes, winter imagery, and cinematic orchestral color.
03
The result
An orchestral EP shaped by speed, collaboration, texture, and a sense of musical adventure.
Behind the scenes
Watch the full process unfold.
The process video follows the challenge from concept to completion, showing how the duo shaped orchestral ideas, made quick creative choices, and turned a bold idea into a finished project.
Listen to the EP
A fast-written orchestral world with winter in its bones.
