Tarkiainen
writes: The Lustful
Mother's Heart is a
solo work that plumbs the
depths of one of the most
fundamental human
instincts - the tie
between a mother and her
new-born child that, as
day follows day, becomes
less part of its mother's
body. The work develops
themes from my song cycle
The Lustful Mother
in which long solo viola
passages strike to the
very heart of
down-to-earth, natural
womanhood. The Lustful
Mother's Heart was
born at a very special
moment in my life when my
second child was spending
his first weeks in this
world. The viola song
kept company with us
night and day, dark and
deep-rooted, at times
broadening out into a
hymn, weaving into our
fate as through a dream.
The Lustful Mother's
Heart is dedicated to
violist Ellen Nisbeth,
who also commissioned
it.
