Little is known about the actual composition process of Lemminkainen, and the performance and publication history is rather complex, resulting in a first complete printing of all four movements en suite through the complete edition of Jean Sibelius Works only in 2013.In summer 1894 Sibelius went to Central Europe, carrying among others a plan for an opera freely based on the Kalevala in his mind. But during this trip he reassessed his composing: I think I have found my old self again, musically speaking. I think I really am a tone painter and a poet. As a result he abandoned his opera plans, but musical parts may have found their way into the Lemminkainen pieces which he started composing during that time. Definitely the overture had, it is now known and loved as The Swan of Tuonela.Lemminkainen became popular from the beginning and has attained a fixed position in the concert repertoire.On Lemminkainen and the Maidens on the Island a critic opined: We do not hesitate to award this tone painting of Lemminkainen's erotic emotional world the first prize among all the young composer's works. Sibelius himself said about Lemminkainen in Tuonela: The cradle song at the end of the work is maternal love, which rakes the pieces of Lemminkainen together from the River Tuonela. and commented on Lemminkainen's Return: I would like to see more pride in us Finns. Why should we be ashamed? This is the underlying thought in Lemminkainen's Return. Lemminkainen is just as good as the noblest of earls. He is an aristocrat, without question an aristocrat!.

Urban Sprawl grew directly from the composer's months-long search for a new home. In looking over many prospects, he began to wonder about the variety of home owners and their approaches to their wildly different dwellings, resulting in this funky, jazzy, kitschy, and hopefully fun ode, as he describes it. Duration: 6'30.After spending months looking, my wife and I bought a home in the suburbs. While looking, I increasingly became intrigued by the overall “funkyness†of the insides of a number of houses we were shown by our realtor. From the crazy wallpaper, to the downright hideous paint colors, to the do-it-yourself projects gone wrong, to the fresh smells of wacky tobacky, some of these homes were real “standouts.†After seeing so many of these homes, I began to imagine who these current homeowners were. I started picturing them moving about their homes, doing these crazy projects, and dancing a quirky new dance I called the “urban sprawl†(think Nixon dancing in “Nixon in Chinaâ€). Urban Sprawl is a 6½-minute funky, jazzy, kitschy, and hopefully fun ode to “Suburban Life†(which was the working title). The work was written for and premiered by Alarm Will Sound at the 201111 Mizzou New Music Summer.

This piece was commissioned by Japan Ground Self Defense Force Western Army Band. In the programme note for the premiere the composer wrote: I am always impressed by the expansive earth and sparkling ocean scenery when I come to Kyushu. I have met many local people here and they are all expressive and energetic. I wrote this dramatic piece to convey to the whole of Japan the memory of my experience here, swaying in the west wind. I wrote this, hoping that the Self Defense Force will forge closer ties with the community through this piece. Eastern drama felt in the west wind!Dieses Stück basiert auf dem Motto eines japanischen Musikfestivals der japanischen Streitkrafte: Unsere Leidenschaft soll in unserem Herzen widerhallen. Der Komponist liess sich ausserdem von der eindrucksvollen Küstenlandschaft in Kyushu, wo das Festival stattfand, inspirieren und vom Wunsch, dass die verschiedenen Militarblasorchester der Region engere Bande knüpfen mogen, leiten. Aus diesen Themen entstand dieses ausdruckvolle, dramatische Werk.L'oeuvre fut donnee en creation dans le cadre du Festival des Musiques Militaires des Forces armees japonaises 2010, qui s'est tenu sur l'ile de Kyushu. Le theme fut << La passion est en nous >>. Swaying in the West Wind revele une profondeur d'expression poignante. Depuis des siecles, Kyushu s'est ouverte aux cultures occidentales. Et c'est la force de ce souffle occidental, de l'energie des habitants de l'ile que Satoshi Yagisawa depeint dans son oeuvre. Questo brano e stato commissionato dal Japan Ground Self Defense Force Western Army Band di stanza a Kyushu. Il compositore si e ispirato alla questa regione giapponese dichiarando la bellezza della natura, le grandi distese e il colore dell'Oceano mi hanno profondamente. E questa natura, sono sicuro trasmette le proprie energie agli abitanti di Kyushu, gente molto espressiva ed energia, in perfetta sintonia con la terra in cui vivono.

One of the big projects of Kalevi Aho (b. 1949) has been to create a virtuoso solo piece for every central instrument of the symphony orchestra. When the Italian Risuonanza Festival asked for a solo trombone piece, the composer was glad, because the trombone solo was still lacking from the Solo series. Kalevi Aho tells: I like the trombone as an instrument, and I had before the Solo XIII composed already two big trombone works. In my Symphony No. 9 (1994) I have used the trombone as a solo instrument - in the premiere the Swedish trombonist Christian Lindberg played its demanding solo part - and 2010 I composed also a big trombone concerto for the Dutch trombonist Jorgen van Rijen. In Solo XIII (2017) I could utilize my knowledge about the possibilities of the instrument. The piece is in one movement, but it includes several slower and faster sections. It is a virtuoso piece, but the virtuosity comes from the psychological contents of the work and its form is dramaturgically quite clear. Rocco Rescigno played the premiere at the Risuonanze Festival in Pasian di Prato, on 31 May 2019. The duration of the piece is c. 9 minutes.

“In early 2006 I was commissioned to write a piece to be premiered in a church. Before beginning work on it, I tested the acoustics there, according to which the compositional concept developed. Somewhat later I began to compose the piece 'with the church', so to speak. During the process of composition, however, the music gradually distanced itself from the original spatial conditions and developed into a piece whose characteristics were transformed into a church-acoustical structure. 'I see your music when I hear it', a listener once said to me. Does one really see the music? Can fragrances be heard? Or can one smell colours? This 5-part composition is music in which the tones move in space on different levels, even when they are sometimes very quiet and slow; they are clear and transparent even when they are apparently dense, complicated and energetic.†(Xiaoyong Chen).
