Sielunmaisema (2019) for
cello and string
orchestra contemplates
the cycle of the year in
its movements, which are
named Winter, Spring,
Summer, and Autumn.
Sielunmaisema translated
from Finnish means a
“soul-landscape, a
particular place that a
person carries deep in
the heart and returns to
often in memory. It can
be described as a
landscape that
“hits you in the
center of your chest, the
one you that immediately
feels like home. The
composer tells:
Soul-landscape is related
to questions of identity
and place which resonate
with two parallel
cultural identities that
I carry within - my
native Lithuanian and
later acquired American.
My physical home keeps
changing and the only
thing that remains is
music. In this case, the
piece itself becomes an
ideal soul-landscape
reflecting a native
environment as seen
through the prism of four
seasons.
BBC
Music Magazine (7/2022)
praises the CD with
Sielunmaisema: Her scores
similarly appeal to
something beyond the
immeadately cerebral,
creating a vast
shimmering landscapes
that lead the mind
somewhere dream-like and
seem to speak directly to
the body’s senses
in arresting and
unexpected ways.
This product
includes the solo cello
part and the study score
(A4 sized).
