Born in 1963, Hannu Pohjannoro is widely acclaimed as a composer of quiet, restrained music. It has been said of his music that it seems to have been 'sketched with a sounding quill': Pohjannoro is a composer for whom the magic of different pianissimo shades is of the utmost importance. Though Pohjannoro's aesthetic is distinctly modernist, he nonetheless acknowledges the importance for the compositional process of knowing and understanding musicaltradition. A portrait of Beethoven hangs in his study to remind him that the combination of visceral musical expression and structural strength and clarity is still an ideal to which every composer should strive.

Of this work, the composer says: images, hommages is a series of miniature tributes to a number of artists whose works have had a profound effect on me - though, naturally, many other artists could have been included too. I wanted to avoid any form of musical quotation, so from the outset I decided to exclude other composers from the list altogether. As the focus of these miniatures, I therefore selected exponents of abstract art and some of the greatest storytellers of the twentieth century - or, rather, examples of their works.

images, hommages presents musical tributes to artists including Albers, Mondrian, Malevich, Kandinsky, Pollock, Kafka, Harms, Calvino and Borges.

images, hommages was awareded with the second prize at the VIII International Henri Dutilleux Composition Contest in 2017.

Each musician will need their own copy of the performances score.
