Kai
Nieminen's Le Tombeau
d'Albert Roussel (2020)
for guitar utilises
themes and harmonies from
Roussel's
ballet-pantomime Le
Festin de l'Araignee (The
Spider's Feast) op.17
written in 1912.
Roussel's work depicts
insect life in a garden
alluding to human
behaviour in a similar
way to George Orwell's
novel, Animal Farm.
Nieminen's Le Tombeau
d'Albert Roussel
integrates themes from
Roussel's Le Festin de
l'Araignee with original
material which together
create a satisfying whole
full of imagery,
contrasts and colour.
