This Christmas carol commissioned by the Finnish broadcasting company Yle and first performed in Helsinki by Helsinki Chamber Choir conducted by Nils Schweckendiek is based on three texts two by William Shakespeare and one by George Wither. The largely homophonic textures combine with Rautavaara’s characteristically rich and often chromatic harmonies to form a very effective and satisfying work a bit different from the usual Christmas offering.

Piano Solo-Programme noteConte op. 27 was commissioned by the Sibelius Academy of Helsinki to be one of two interchangeable obligatory contemporary numbers in Maj Lind Piano Competition for young talented Finnish pianists. I wrote the piece in the beginning of the year 1985; the competition took place a year later.?Conte? is the French word for ?a story? or ?a fairy tale?. This does not mean that I am trying to tell any specific story with the music. The title refers to two things mainly. On the one hand both the harmonic and the textural colouring ofthe piece are connected with the world of fairies and trolls. On the other hand musical ideas in this piece are treated in a way which inevitably brings to my mind the oral tradition of story-telling ? formally speaking. Conte has ties with the ways in which rambling fantastic stories are told. The small musical cells are like persons in a story more or less important and every story has its own fate. These individual fates collide with each other in a more or less random capricious way and cause continuously new situations for the principal figures. The net is always moving ? after all no one can be the same before and after an important meeting.On the level of the sounding surface I guess that the most important feature of Conte is a certain nervousness a kind of electric swarming which is due to the characteristics of the chosen material itself. Nor do the stories of a good story-teller get stuck.Jouni Kaipainen

15 Selected Songs by Jean Sibelius for Voice and Piano. This collection can be understood as an introduction to the Finnish composer's extensive and highly varied lieder output. Selected from various collections the songs represent a stylistically broad spectrum. The compilation comprises only lieder that were originally written in Swedish and provides singable German and English translations that date from the time of the first publications. The two Shakespeare Lieder op. 60 at the end of the volume were based on Swedish texts and written for a staging of the comedy Twelfth Night in Helsinki in 1909.

Huilukonsertto. Par ENGLUND EINAR. Einar Englund?s (1916-1999) Flute Concerto (1985) is beyond dispute one of his greatest works. Its finest attributes are its rich melodic invention, colourful instrumentation and immediate message. Add to these its rewarding solo part, and the result is truly one of his best concertos ? and works. He himself did not hesitate to regard it as such. It was premiered in Helsinki on September 16, 1985, having been completed at Ljugarn on the Swedish island of Gotland at the end of June. The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra was conducted by Leif Segerstam, and the soloist was the concerto?s dedicatee, Mikael Helasvuo. The Flute Concerto opens with a Ritornello in which the flute's playful, dance-like passages make sharp contrast with the orchestra's heroic stance. In the mellow Canzona which follows, the flute plays rhapsodically over repetitive orchestral figures. The work's 'action-packed' finale hints at parody in its military march-like opening, but also gives rein to the lyricism already familiar from the second movement. This product includes the solo flute part and the piano reduction. The orchestral study score (composer?s manuscript) is available for sale (product number 9790550117471). The performance material is available for hire from the publisher. Duration: c. 23?

Par PART ARVO. This work was composed originally in 1992 for the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson-Trio on commission by the Helsinki Festival, where it was premiered. The piece is in memory of Oleg Kagan, who was a friend of Arvo Pärt's and one of Russia's leading violinists. Kagan had a special affinity with the music of Mozart and the composer memorialises the violinist by transcribing one of the most affecting movements of the youthful composer's piano sonatas, the Adagio from the Sonata in F Major, K. 280./ Répertoire / Clarinette, Violoncelle et Piano

Finnish Folk Song With Variations (Op. 21) was based on the Finnish folk melody Alä Itke Aitini (Don?t Cry My Mother) and scored for solo Piano. Oskar Merikanto (1868-1924) wasa Finnish pianist organist and composer. Having studied in Leipzig and Berlin he took a full time position as an organist and teacher in Helsinki where he remained until his death. He is best known for his three operas whichwere the first operas to be written in the Finnish language. However his contribution to Finnish folk music is perhaps even greater: the depth and warmth of his addition to this genre are indicative of his wider musical prowess.
