Baritone voice, piano SKU: FG.042-08367-3
Composed by Paavo Heininen. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.042-08367-3). ISBN 979-0-042-08367-3.
Heininen has adapted two episodes sung by the Publisher in his opera The Knife into a short song cycle. After introducing the poet (that young man who smells of too much spring) the Publisher asks his army of poets to unveil their most astounding visions; the matinee develops into a stormy affair, and he tries to restore dignity with uplifting words.
