To
mark the 150th
anniversary of Armas
Jarnefelt, Fennica
Gehrman publishes his
hitherto unpublished
works.
Jarnefelt's
first composition for
stage was music for Z.
Topelius's play Miranda
in 1900-1901. It is a
kind of melodrama with
recitation and choral
singing, not so much
incidental music.
Jarnefelt composed a
rather broad array of
numbers for Miranda,
seven movements in total.
Miranda is characterized
by a downwards moving
chromatic chord
progression. Listeners
especially liked the
Nymf- och trolldans
movement, its slowly and
elegantly swinging waltz,
and the Oriental colours
of one of the dance
movements. Orchestral
parts available for
hire.
