De Vlaamse componist Johan Nijs componeert veel over mensen en gebeurtenissen uit zijn nabije omgeving. Zo schreef hij Santa Pepita als huwelijksgeschenk voor zijn vrouw.

Seine neue Komposition Laurena widmete er seiner neugeborenen Tochter. Charakteristisch für diese Komposition sind die einfachen und lieblichen Melodielinien.

Le compositeur flamand Johan Nijs aime se laisser inspirer par des événements dans son environnement immédiat. En guise de cadeau de mariage, il dédia son épouse, la composition intitulée Santa Pepita tandis que son œuvre Laurena est dédiée sa fille. Les lignes mélodiques de cette œuvre possèdent un charme éthéré.

Orchestra

SKU: FG.55011-444-9

Composed by Einojuhani Rautavaara. Score (large). Fennica Gehrman #55011-444-9. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-444-9).

ISBN 9790550114449.

Eino juhani Rautavaara (1928-2016) was one of Finland's internationally most successful composers. He made his major breakthrough with the Symphony No. 7, Angel of Light, in the 1990s, but his output includes numerous classic operas, concertos, chamber music and choral works.
Over his extensive career, he progressed from Neo-Classicism to strict dodecaphony to free-tonal Neo-Romanticism, combining modernism with mystical romanticism in his later works. According to the composer, the role of the composer is to be mediator, a midwife, who helps the music become alive on its own terms; Listen to what the music wants to tell you, he told his composition students, sense where it wants to go.
Rautavaara rose to great international fame with the success of his Symphony No. 7, Angel of Light (1995) powered by the prize-winning recording (Helsinki Philharmonic, Segerstam, Ondine label) later the same year. Many high-profile international commissions followed, creating yet
more prize-winning recordings.
To mark the 25th anniversary of the work's premiere - in its original form as the Bloomington Symphony - by the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra and conductor David Pickett, Fennica Gehrman is publishing an entirely new edition of the symphony based on all available sources, including the composer's manuscript and his markings in various printed scores.
This is a large-sized conductor score with extensive analysis of the work and its genesis.

Some of the Ten Piano Pieces op. 58 were already successfully performed during the composers lifetime. At a concert in the Solemnity Hall of Helsinki University on 10 October 1911, two of the pieces (Scherzino No. 2, Serenade No. 9) had to be repeated because of the roar of applause.. Both Sibelius and Mrs. Sigrid Sundgren-Schneevoigt were called forth with storming applause. The reviews were good, describing the pieces as the most ingenious piano compositions reduced to a small form, that have been published in Finland.

A look into Kullervo's workshop Jean Sibelius's own piano-vocal scores of the two choral movements from his Kullervo Symphony Op. 7 were forgotten for nearly a century. It was not until 1982 that the manuscripts were transferred from the composer's estate to the Helsinki University Library. They will be printed for the first time in the Complete Edition. They allow scholars a fascinating insight into the revisions that Sibelius made even before the world premiere, and they supplement the new edition of the first text-critical score recently presented by Glenda Dawn Goss within the framework of the Complete Edition. We can see how explosive Kullervo's vocal text must have been in 1892 by the fact that the composer decided to replace the original women's chorus with a male chorus. His teacher Martin Wegelius had advised him to bear in mind that female choral singers might refuse to perform the incestuous seduction scene.

Piano

Composed by Lauri Mäntysaari. Classical, contemporary. Score. Fennica Gehrman #55011-871-3. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-871-3).

Lauri Mäntysaari explores the theme nature in Chats before Sunrise (2007, rev. 2022). The atmosphere created in this composition is one of early dawn after a long night spent with good friends (and wine, perhaps), a moment where an unseen element lighter than the air seems to hold the still bubbling conversation in its arms and let us feel relieved. Not only does the word chat mean a light conversation, but also a family of birds which is particularly known for their habit of making clicking sounds. These chats also find their place in the composition.

Durat ion: c. 6'

Lauri Mäntysaari (b. 1982 Helsinki) is known for his wide variety of composing for different media. His output consists of orchestral works, music for instrumental ensemble, solo works, songs and choir music. His works have been performed widely in Finland, but also in eg. Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Austria and Canada. Mäntysaari's works have recently gained success in international competitions in Italy and The Netherlands.

Composed by Tiina Myllärinen. Classical, contemporary. Score & parts. Fennica Gehrman #55011-874-4. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-874-4).

Tiina Myllärinen's (b. 1979) (Bad) Dreams come true for strings quartet (2022) was composed when war broke out in Europe. The composer tells: The shock, and the daily news barrage of battles could not help making an impression on my work and its material. I wondered what dreams and plans people had in Ukraine before the war, and how everything became a nightmare in a single night. Terror, fear and tension found their way into the work, along with memories of life in the past and dreams of a different future. The work is dedicated to the people of Ukraine; to the dreams that will hopefully soon come true.

This product includes the full score and a set of parts.

Tiina Myllärinen’s music has been described as cheerfully inquisitive, vigorous and original. Her works include Squarcio for ensemble, the orchestral what? (2010) and Traces (2013, commissioned by the Pro Musica Foundation and premiered at the Helsinki Music Centre on 5 June 2014) and Three Songs for voice, guitar and cello (2007).

The present volume of the Complete Edition comprises a truly homogenous group: all the piano works from the Ten Piano Pieces op. 58 to the Treize Morceaux Op. 76. No doubt the best known pieces among them are the Three Sonatinas op. 67, which were played so masterfully (and were so highly esteemed) by Glenn Gould. All the pieces were written within the space of ten years, between 1909 and 1919, at a time when Sibelius was already an internationally renowned composer. He was, however, dependent on the smaller, short-term commissions and their honorariums for his livelihood. During World War I, it was impossible for Sibelius in Helsinki to maintain his contacts with the major European concert halls. This difficult situation also helped prompt the creation of the pieces written after 1914 and grouped by the composer and his Finnish publishers into the opp. 75 and 76.

The texts of Alex Freeman's Calle sin nombre for mixed choir (2019) are drawn from quotations of families seeking asylum who are victims of the policies of family separation aggressively and abruptly enacted by the administration of President Donald John Trump.These desperate words tread with bare feet across shards of fragmented lines from Emma Lazarus's The New Colossus (the iconic poem enshrined at the base of The Statue of Liberty). A rehearsal reduction for piano is included in the publication. Alex Freeman (b. 1972) grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina. Around the age of 13 he became interested in composing. In 1998 he moved to New York to begin his Doctoral studies at the Juilliard School, studying with Christopher Rouse. The focus of his doctoral document led him to Finland. The recipient of a Fulbright Full Fellowship, he moved to Helsinki in 2001 to research Sibelius's sketches and study composition with Eero Hameenniemi at the Sibelius Academy. Dr. Freeman is currently composing full-time and liveswith his wife and children in Finland.

Alex Freeman’s Under the arching heavens: A Requiem (2018) was commissioned by Nils Schweckendiek and the Helsinki Chamber Choir to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1918 Finnish civil war. Structured around the Latin liturgy of the mass for the dead, the work has a duration of more than an hour and also incorporates poems in Finnish, Swedish and English, reflecting both the specific reason for the commission and the universality of human suffering caused by war. In the non-liturgical texts chosen by Freeman, birds are a recurring image, as is that of a mother and child. The work ends with lines by Walt Whitman from a poem written in the aftermath of the American Civil War; lines described by the composer as ‘some of the most comforting poetry in the English language.’ Also included on the disc is A Wilderness of Sea, another recent choral piece which draws on works by Shakespeare, and the poet’s images of the sea, and of mankind’s relationship with it.

ISBN 9790550116047.

Ann- Elise Hannikainen (1946-2012) was born in Hanko, Southern Finland, but lived mainly abroad, her father working as diplomat. Her grandfather's father was P.J. Hannikainen, the head of a prominent Finnish musical family. Ann-Elise's attraction to music was first found at age of five, when her family, then living in Warsaw, bought a grand piano. Hannikainen started to study piano playing at the Sibelius Academy in 1967, but rheumatoid arthritis prevented her from pursuing a carrier as a concert pianist. In 1972 she moved to Madrid and started to study composition with Ernesto Halffter Ercriche, a student of Manuel de Falla. Hannikainen advanced quickly in her career, and her piano concerto was premiered in Helsinki Festival in 1976. Her composing style evolved into luminous melodies, free atonal harmonies and improvisatory forms. Chachara (1980) is her first composition for solo instrument and piano, and it was also Hannikainen's last work to be premiered during her lifetime. The flute has the main role shifting between virtuosic and bel canto modes. The window of love, a distinct section of tonal harmony and singing melody was typical in many of Hannikainen's compositions. In Chachara this confession of love is heard in the middle of the piece (Molto moderato). In January 1981 Chachara was recognized in Barcelona with the first prize in the competition for young composers.

Driv en for guitar came about when me and guitar virtuoso Otto Tolonen happened to meet at a bar in
Helsinki a few years back. After a few dozen drinks we started discussing metal music. Otto, knowing my
background as a metal guitarist, came up with the idea to write something for him using metal music
aesthetics as a basis for a piece. I got really hooked on the idea of incorporating heavy riffs in the style of all
those bands' music that I grew up with.
Enter Driven. A work that stacks riffs upon riffs upon riffs - hopefully in a convincing metalish kind of way
not forgetting the aesthetics of the contemporary classical masters.

Kale vi Aho composed Quasi una fantasia for horn and organ (2011) on the request of organist Jan Lehtola, who premiered it with horn player Petri Komulainen 11th March 2012 in Helsinki, Finland. The piece is extremely virtuosic, and almost concerto-like in nature. At times the horn plays also quarter-tone scales by combining ‘perfect’ and ‘imperfect’ (the 7th, 11th and 13th) overtones of different harmonic series together.
