I have
only visited Damascus
once, twenty years ago,
on the way to
Palmyra. I had a
purpose (I was writing
music for a play about
Palmyra’s Queen
Zenobia) but essentially
I was a tourist.
Like any visitor, I was
thrilled to step out of
the noisy modern city
into the magical ancient
world of the walled Old
City, its vibrant souk
leading to the
magnificent mosque, and a
labyrinth of winding,
narrow streets filled
with the smell of
unleavened
bread.
In Palmyra,
I was met with
extraordinary kindness
everywhere. On one
occasion, a little
Bedouin boy noticed that
I was risking sunstroke
wandering bare-headed
among the spectacular
ruins: he showed me how
to tie a turban, then
took me to have tea with
his family in their
tent.
Since then, I
have watched helplessly
as these places of wonder
have been devastated and
their inhabitants
scattered and
killed. When the
Sacconi Quartet suggested
that I might choose a
Syrian poet for our
collaboration, I welcomed
the idea.
I
searched for a long time
to find a contemporary
poet whose work might
gain from any music I
could imagine. I
felt it was important to
find first-hand accounts
of the Syrian experience
– but, of course, I
was always reading them
in translation. In
an anthology
called Syria
Speaks, I was
astonished to read
something that looked
like prose, but was full
of poetry. It was
Anne-Marie
McManus’s fine
translation of Ali
Safar’s A
Black Cloud in a Leaden
White Sky
– an
eloquent, thoughtful,
contained yet vivid
account of life in a
war-torn country, all the
more moving for its
restraint.
In
setting these words, I
have not attempted to
imitate Syrian
music. However,
there is what might be
called a linguistic
accommodation in my
choice of scale, or
mode. Several
movements are in a mode
that I first discovered
while writing a cantata
commemorating the First
World War: it has a
tuning that I associate
with war, its violence
and desolation.
This eight-note
mode is similar to scales
found in Syrian
music. I did not
choose it in the
abstract: it emerged from
the harmonies I was
exploring in the earlier
work, and emerged again
as I was looking for the
right musical colours to
set Ali Safar’s
words. In this
work, its Arabic aspect
is more prominent. -

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!.
