Jean Sibelius

En Saga Op.9 is a tone poem for orchestra and is one of the composer's earliest orchestral works filled with youthful dynamism and energy. It is also highly atmospheric clearly evocative of the composer's beloved Finland – its people proud history countryside and landscapes. The title translates as the Swedish (rather than Finnish) for A Fairy Tale suggesting a programmatic work but despite there seeming to be a 'story' present the composer never identified any specific extra-musical inspiration.The work was originally composed in 1892 but not to great success. However the composer later revised the work in 1902 shortly afterhaving composed the Symphony No.2 when it received the acclaim it deserved.Available here is a study score of Sibelius' tone poem En Saga Op.9 which is ideal for study and perusal usage.

The Full orchestral score of Jean Sibelius' 1917 work for Violin and String Orchestra.

Among the best of Jean Sibelius’ oeuvre are his 1917 compositions the Humoresques. This fabulous and charming concerto was divided into two groups for publication Opus 87 and Opus 89 and demonstrates his sublime skill with the Violin. He used a considerably smaller Orchestra accompaniment to the Violin in the second group but maintained the subtlety of depth and texture. Though there are traditional elements to all parts of this opus Humoresque No. 4 harks back to the past the most reminiscent of the delicacy of mid-nineteenth century musical miniatures. Virtuosic and challenging the soloist has the opportunity to indulge in a more traditionallyexhibitionistic display. This work features a seperate Violin part with a Piano reduction of the String Orchestra by Karl Ekman.
