Lauri Mäntysaari explores the theme nature in Chats before Sunrise (2007, rev. 2022). The atmosphere created in this composition is one of early dawn after a long night spent with good friends (and wine, perhaps), a moment where an unseen element lighter than the air seems to hold the still bubbling conversation in its arms and let us feel relieved. Not only does the word chat mean a light conversation, but also a family of birds which is particularly known for their habit of making clicking sounds. These chats also find their place in the composition.Durat ion: c. 6'Lauri Mäntysaari (b. 1982 Helsinki) is known for his wide variety of composing for different media.

Siimes for Wind Quintet by Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen (2017). Program notes: Siimes is my second wind quintet and is based on the saxophone concerto Saivo. The title of the work suggests an allegorical hiding place deep in the forest, from where one can easily observe the surrounding reality. The first movement flows and swirls like divingunder water, at times changing direction and always bubbling merrily. The second movements ethereal shimmering culminates into the last movements mighty chord pillars that pile up on one another like an ash cloud. Siimes is dedicated to Auriga Wind Quintet's flautist Heli Haapala, who commissioned the work with the support of the Sibelius Foundation. Parts are available: WH32984A.
