American-Finn
ish composer Alex Freeman
(b.1972) has established
himself among the
foremost composers of
choral music in Finland.
A dedicated citizen of
his musical community, a
teacher, and a choral
singer himself, he
composes music that
reflects an appreciation
for a wide range of
aesthetics and a passion
for communicating with
listeners and performers.
In his choral works, in
particular, we find music
that aims to be sonorous,
melodic, and resonant,
but is always crafted to
carefully avoid the
cliches that can burden
conventional tonality.
His instrumental
works run the gamut: a
cantata with orchestra
based on poetry of
Whitman; a significant
body of solo piano works
that reveal deep roots in
everything from austere
absolute music to soaring
elegaic rhetoric (see
Albany Records, Inner
Voice); his chamber work
Blueshift (Navona
Records), which is a kind
of paean to Reich and
Adams in miniature;
open-ended modular works,
like various iterations
of his Slow All Clocks
for electronic media,
solo clarinet, and mixed
choirs of kanteles; and,
recently, some new
directions in microtonal
music.

Kimm
o Hakola's String Quartet
No. 4 op. 95 (2016) was
commissioned by the
Kimito Island Music
Finland and it's
dedicated to the Meta4
Quartet. In composer's
words, it is the
floundering, playful, if
necessary defiantly
dramatic, surprising,
capricious and
unrestrained tour de
force of a youthful
entity.Kimmo Hakola has
gone through a number of
styles and influences in
his career as a composer,
his idiom expanding at
times to embrace
Romanticism, Orientalism
and klezmer. He has
attained international
recognition with an
output that spans various
genres from intimate solo
works to full-length
operas such as La Fenice
(2011) commissioned by
the Savonlinna Opera
Festival. Many of his
works are expansive and
epic: his Piano Concerto
(1996), for instance,
clocks in at 55 minutes.
Hakola says that he sees
music as drama. His
dramas explore almost
Shakespearean extremes,
from moments of raging
'sound and fury' and
violent battles to quiet
moments of meditation and
heart-rending
monologues.

This quartet forms part
of a major opus whose
different works make use
of the same tone row
matrix characterised by
the harmonic interval of
a third. Contrasting with
the aggressive, expansive
piano sonata which also
belongs to the opus, its
nostalgic tone is a mark
of respect for the
traditional ethos of
string music. Erkki
Salmenhaara compared the
work to a prism: As the
composer turns it, one
and the same shaft of
light gives birth over
and again to new patterns
and combinations of
colours.
