Newman, John
Henry.
This is the
best of me, wrote Edward
Elgar after the final
measure of his Dream of
Gerontius. Premiered in
1900, in Great Britain
the work has long been a
standard work in the
repertoire of large
oratorio choirs. Elgar's
moving, poetic setting of
the eponymous poem by
Cardinal John Henry
Newman is about a dying
man and his journey
beyond death to God.
Before the eyes of the
listeners, a musical
image of the soul is
created which flies past
mocking demons to God
with its protecting angel
at its side, is allowed
to look at God briefly,
then faces the purgatory
confident and comforted.
The work is a real rarity
in the history of
oratorio, and for large
choirs it is a thrilling
alternative to the
established repertoire of
Requiem settings. Its
popularity is thanks to
the suggestive, often
sensuous power of the
music, the great choral
scenes of the demons and
the angels, and the three
impressive solo
parts.All

A sequel
to his earlier work
Sunchasers, Starchasers
by Tanner Otto is a dark,
driving piece that makes
B minor accessible to
younger players by
carefully avoiding any
extensions in the violin,
viola, and cello parts.
Its memorable themes,
reminiscent of a
nighttime adventure, are
spread across all
instruments. The middle
section becomes ethereal
with the pizzicato in the
viola, evoking an image
of twinkling stars.
Starchasers is a great
teaching piece for 3/4
time and uses low-2 and
high-2 work to reinforce
the 1-2 finger pattern
for intermediate
students. (2:05).

Alla Pavlova's Thumbelina
is a considerable

Percussion: Bass dr.,
Snare dr., Wooden Block,
Tambourine, Triangle,

only many beautiful,
lyrical and moving
waltzes and other
classical themes, but
also rhythms such as
tango, boogie-woogie and
ragtime. Narratively, the
story has been adapted to
include a varied and
colorful cast of
characters. The
Thumbelina Suite (which
has been recorded by the
Tchaikovsky Symphony
Orchestra for Naxos) can
be heard at

Two
Mythical Scenes for
orchestra was completed
in 1956, when Sallinen
was Aarre Merikanto's
composition student for
his second term. The work
received its premiere
performance only after a
good deal of pressure
from Prof. Merikanto's
side, and was finally
premiered in a concert by
the Sibelius Academy
Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Jussi Jalas.
The work received opus
number 1, as it was the
first publicly performed
work by Sallinen.
The composer has told
that he was inspired by a
1947 book published by
the Finnish Literary
Society (SKS) Myytillisia
kuvia (Mythical
Scenes/Images). The
second movement of the
work, Kalmanvaen
joulukirkko (The
Christmas Service of the
Dead) is based on the
stories in which the dead
rise from their graves
early in the Christmas
Day morning to attend
their own special
ceremony led by a dead
priest. The opening
movement Kulkue
(Procession) depicts the
dead in a procession
towards the church.
In 2020 Sallinen revised
the score slightly. In
his own words with very
small changes helping the
sixty years younger and
less experienced self.
The revisions mostly
concerned nuances and
dynamics, bowings and
some bridges. The
original structure,
rhythmic and harmonic
world is still the same
as they were when young
Sallinen composed the
work in 1956.

Stan
ding recently on the
shore of the
Mediterranean Sea with a
child in his arms,
Auvinen was overwhelmed
with thoughts of refugees
attempting to cross the
sea and the images of a
drowned child that had
been shown on the news.
This work thus contains a
lot of elastic sound and
things that bend down,
grow slower and sink, but
also music that washes up
to the surface.

Conductor's
scoreInspired by the
German-born architect
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe,
the intention was to
create an orchestral work
that would somehow
reflect these urban
corporate trophies. The
piece as a whole makes
use of a very sparse
harmonic
arsenal—employing
simple, cellular
collections of pitches.
The music is at times
very angular, always
highly charged with
energy, and filled with
mechanical imagery.2,1

Heard on High all make

of the highlights of this
musical is O Holy Night,
