... a forest god in New YorkThe symphonic poem Tapiola is the final major composition for orchestra that Sibelius was able to complete and publish. In January 1926 he had accepted the commission from the conductor Walter Damrosch to compose an orchestral work of at most 20 minutes in length for a performance in New York at the end of that year. Shortly thereafter Sibelius was successful in getting Breitkopf & Hartel to do the first publication of this tone poem. The premiere of Tapiola took place on 26 December 1926. The edition takes over the music text published in volume I/16 of the complete edition Jean Sibelius Works.

The symphonic poem Tapiola is the final major composition for orchestra that Sibelius was able to complete and publish. It was commissiones by the conductor Walter Damrosch for the New York Philharmonic and was premiered on 26 December 1926. Taking the forest god Tapio as name giver, Sibelius once more got his inspiration from Finish mythology. The present arrangement by Einar Englund and Peter Lonnqvist now allows a performance in the course of a chamber music concert. By choosing the scoring for piano for four hands, or alternatively for two pianos, the arrangement stays as close as possible to Sibelius's complex orchestral texture. Tapiola is also available in the original version for orchestra at Breitkopf & Hartel. The edition takes over the music text published in volume I/16 of the complete edition Jean Sibelius Works .Arrangement for piano for four hands or two pianos by Peter Lonnqvist, based on a transcription by Einar Englund.

Written for the Tapiola Children's Choir, Tapiolassa (In Tapiola) takes its text from the Finnish folk-epic Kalevala, in particular a section telling of the haunts of the mysterious forest spirit Tapio. The piece unites the ancient songs of the bards with Bergman's own conception of the myth. We are brought into contact with a rough and archaic world, where monody and two-part writing breaks out into free tonality and polyphonic texture. Lyricism is combined with dramatic power and childish playfulness with shamanistic ecstasy.

The American tone poems
ISBN 9790004803226. 10 x 12.5 inches.
Jean Sibelius wrote his last two tone poems Aallottaret op. 73 and Tapiola op. 112 as commissions for the United States. Aallottaret is the original Finnish title of op. 73, as is found on the autograph. Discreetly concealed behind this title, however, is the title The Oceanides, which also stems from Sibelius, and which Breitkopf & Hartel gladly placed in first position for the first edition of 1915, thus facilitating the diffusion of the work. The previously unpublished early version of Aallottaret is also presented in the volume of the Complete Edition; it had been hastily rejected shortly before the world premiere. Compared with this genesis, the origin of Tapiola , Sibelius last great symphonic poem, is relatively unspectacular: though he was under pressure to write and publish the work, Sibelius produced no different versions. There was only one printed edition from Breitkopf and no further revisions. Thanks are given to Professor Nors S. Josephson for his valuable work on this volume, the editing of which he began.

The Saxophone Concerto Saivo paints a musical portrait of a saxophonist of a new kind. The word saivo originates from the ancient Sami beliefs meaning a two-bottomed lake, where under a lake dwells another lake and another world which is inhabited by otherworldly creatures - a world that is the exact mirror image of our world. The saxophone concerto builds sonorous timbral bridgesbetween the effected soprano saxophone and the orchestra, and grows eventually into an illusion of another reality which is similar,yet in a peculiar way different than the world we know. The work was commissioned by Tapiola Sinfonietta and it is dedicated to the saxophonist Jukka Perko. Premiere Nov. 17, 2017 - Tapiolasali, Espoo, Finland Tapiola Sinfonietta, cond. Anna-Maria Helsing Jukka Perko, Soprano Saxophone and effects Solo sax. part: WH33005C Parts are available on hire: hire@ewh.dk.
