Mikko Heinio's
Mot natten (Towards
night), three nocturnes
and two interludes for
cello and guitar was
composed in 2018. This
suite found its
inspiration and name in
Finnish poet Bo
Carpelan's (1926-2011)
posthumous poetry
collection Mot natten
(2013), though the
movements are not tied to
specific poems. The first
nocturne, Obscuro
('twilight'), dominated
by pizzicatos, is
followed by a more
dynamic interlude,
Spasimo ('spasm'). The
fragile second nocturne,
Sospiro ('sigh'), is
coloured by delicate
micro-interval chords
plucked on the guitar
between the left hand and
the nut. The interlude
Passi ('steps') leads
with taps on the sound
box straight into the
third nocturne, Battito
('beat'), the way having
been paved by the
heartbeat of strong
guitar pizzicatos. The
duration is c. 11'30''.
The product includes one
full score and separate
parts for guitar and
violoncello.
