In spring 2020,
coronavirus began
spreading throughout the
world and in many places
people were subjected to
quarantine. It was then
that Hiyoli Togawa, a
violist, proposed that
the BIS record label
release a viola disc
entitled Songs of
Solitude of short
compositions by different
contemporary composers,
as a sort of reflection
of the present time and
offering comfort to
listeners in their
solitude. Hiyoli asked
Kalevi Aho (b. 1949) to
compose a piece in which
she could play and sing
simultaneously. The
meditative, melancholy Am
Horizont is dedicated to
Hiyoli Togawa and
composed in April 2020.
Duration: c. 5'30''.
