Comp
leted in Karstula,
Finland during late July
2010, this carefully
structured, but also
free-ranging work is
drawn from ideas for a
much earlier work in four
movements, Fantasy dating
from the 1980s. Kai
Nieminen has been for a
long time an admirer of
the work of artist Paul
Klee (1879-1940), and the
solo presented in its
final form here is
influenced by the
painting Dances caused by
Fear or as it is often
refered to Dancing from
Fear painted towards the
end of Klee's life in
Bern, 1938. Having
left Germany for
Switzerland in December
1933, Klee's later works
were often full of signs
and lines, very often
represented in black,
depicting human figures
or various objects
against a variety of
coloured backgrounds, in
the case of this painting
of a brownish hue. This
development in his
painting style and
technique is felt by some
to be an effect perhaps
of his long-term illness,
systemic sclerosis, but
in the case of Dances
caused by Fear there is
suggested an atmosphere
of panic and terror, an
attempt to escape from
horrors to come (World
War II), represented in
the violent movement of
the arms and legs of the
figures, and the dark,
indeed brooding nature of
the colours. In Kai
Nieminen's guitar work
Images of Fear, there is
only a very brief passage
of calm at the very
beginning, after which
come three main connected
sections in which a wide
range of musically
unsettling ideas emerge
one by one, making use of
the tritone, minor
seconds, glissandos,
tamboura, campanella,
etc. The third and final
section incorporates the
grouping of 5
sixteenth-notes, to give
an uneasy feeling to the
music, with a short
haunting and pleading
five-note phrase
(Cantando) heard
immediately following
this passage, before the
work ends with further
glissandos, and distant
and diminishing
harmonics. As with
Kai Nieminen's other
guitar works, the use of
'orchestral colour' is
vital to the performance,
and passages suggestive
of for example brass,
strings, woodwind, etc.,
should be taken into
account and played with
suitably considered
contrast of tone.

Kai
Nieminen's Northern
Spells for solo guitar is
a unique combination of
Northern mystique, nature
and age-old rituals. The
mood of the opening
Invocation and Spell is
shrouded in mystery
dotted with moments of
brightness, and
chant-like rhythmic
passages. As its name
suggests, the second
movement, Atmosfera, is
atmospheric and airy,
reiterating a melody that
creates an image of
something ancient and
distant. The recurring
pentatonic figures in the
closing Charm conjure
forth a rhythmic and at
times even lithe
conclusion.
Strong contrasts are one
of the hallmarks of
Nieminen's music, and
this work is no
exception. The guitarist
must have a consummate
ability to extract
specific tones and
effects from his or her
instrument in order to
bring out the required
nuances and sometimes
even ritualistic moods.
One special feature of
the work is the damped
sound made in the bass by
gently pressing the
string with the left-hand
finger near the nut. This
produces a muffled,
mystic, drum-like sound
that has to be rounded,
altogether resonant and
ear-catching. Throughout
all the movements and
moods of this work, the
player has to choose the
timbres very carefully.
The performance must be
as imposing and
multidimensional as the
arctic nature that allows
Northern spells to
reawaken in the
present-day world.
