Anda
nte festivo is originally
composed for string
quartet by Jean Sibelius
(1865-1957). The direct
radio broadcast of its
string orchestra version
in 1939, honoring the
World Fair in New York
City, was Sibelius's last
public appearance as a
conductor. This solemn,
hymn-like composition
fits perfectly for the
organ. Pianist,
cantor-organist Esa
Ylonen's transcription is
based on Karl Ekman's
piano transcription.
