Weck Jean Sibelius had plans in the early 1900s for a tone poem entitled Luonnotar,based on a subject from love with the Kalevala.The project was not completed at that time, but in 1913 the composer returned to the subject. The celebrated Finnish singer Aino Ackté was constantly bombarding Sibelius with requests for Soluppgå new compositions, and eventually the burden of deferred promises became too much. The new work scenograp transcended the bounds of conventional orchestral songs in terms of both technical demands and ground; h expression; indeed, Luonnotar can better be described as a tone poem for soprano and orchestra. ronment engulfed Luonnotar (The Nature-Spirit) Op. 70 takes its text from the first runo of the Kalevala, the myth of cre- ation. The filigreed string accompaniment displays remnants of Sibelius’s earlier Kalevala style, but in all Although other respects Luonnotar explores open waters and unknown seas. The emptiness of the newly creat- tlingly mo ed world is palpable in the extreme registers of the orchestral texture through which the soprano solo Rydberg O soars like “maiden of the air” or the “duck, aplain bird” in the poem. In Höstkv The austerity of the musical material does not translate into simplistic primitivism. Sibelius emphasizes gloomy im 4 the mystical and ecstatic aspects of the event, as the expressive tension sweeps over the orchestra “in tury Finni agreat gust of wind”. In Luonnotar,Sibelius presents the universe as acosmic state which is unfath- pella sect omable in its infinity and which exists in a state before the (symphonic) processes that create and nur- thereis n turelife. På verand In his orchestral works, Sibelius often drew on the Finno-Ugric identity,but as his mother tongue was duction se Swedish, most of his solo songs are settings of poetry in Swedish. The idealistic texts of Runeberg, melancho Wecksell and Fröding prompted dramatic and brilliant musical settings. silent, the Sibelius wrote Arioso Op. 3, a setting of apoem by Finland’s national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg The poet (1804–1877), in 1893, and in 1911 he rearranged it for female voice and strings.

Thereare several examples of this approach in the songs of Op. 36, written in 1899–1900. Demanten på marssnön (The Diamond on the March Snow), a setting of apoem by J.J. Wecksell, is agrandiose depictionofhow the snowflakes sparkling in a winter snowdrift fall in bject from love with the blazing sun and arefinally consumed by its burning kiss. ed to the quests for Soluppgång (Sunrise) Op. 37/3, a setting of Tor Hedberg, is interesting because of its Wagnerian new work scenography.The protagonist is aknight harkening to the sounds of battle against a splendid back- ands and ground; his lady love only appears briefly as a white hand stroking his forehead. The natural envi- estra. ronment seems to be the most important for Sibelius here, and even the blast of the war hornis engulfed by the tranquillity of the morning. yth of cre- but in all Although Sibelius’s solo songs, as a rule, areamong his most conservative works, thereis some star- wly creat- tlingly modern writing among them. The collection of songs to poems by Swedish poet Viktor rano solo Rydberg Op. 38 (1903) is one of the composer’s finest in terms of expressive power. In Höstkväll (Autumn Night), the austereinstrumental accompaniment seems to shy away from the mphasizes gloomy images of naturedeclaimed by the singer.The song was written for the great early-20th-cen- hestra “in tury Finnish opera diva Aino Ackté, who had the charisma required to sustain the extensive acap- 5 is unfath- pella sections.

Above looms the conflict between the transitory and the eternal. As naturefalls silent, the tension erupts into adefiant image of aGod who conceals His purposes from our sight. Runeberg The poetry of Runeberg offered Sibelius both Romantic moments and the elegance of classical rg’s poem ‘Empire’ style, both of which can be found in the opening number of Op. 17, Se’n har jag ej frågat cene with mera (Then ICeased to Ask those Questions), a sketch of the trinity of rejected love, approaching st. autumn and fading beauty.Brahms heard this song in 1895 and remarked that the composer “might yet become something”. ren flyktar r the swift The song collection Op. 57 (1909) to poems by Ernst Josephson reminds us of Sibelius’s struggles re beauti- with a variety of temptations preceding the writing of his Fourth Symphony.Some of the songs lean st coquet- towards pessimism, but Hertig Magnus (Baron Magnus) Op. 57/6 stoutly resists the lureof the mer- maids in Lake Vättern.

    Sibelius in the Context of the Finnish-German History Veijo Murtomäki Introduction The life and career of a composer cannot be considered as an isolated case without taking into account the wider context. The history of ideas and ideologies is always part of any serious enquiry into an artist’s personal history. Therefore we must bear in mind at least four points when considering the actions of artist and his or her country. Firstly, as the eminent Finnish historian Matti Klinge has observed, "the biggest challenge for understanding history is trying to situate oneself in the preconditions of the time-period under scrutiny while remembering that it did not know what the posterity knows."[1] Writing history is not primarily a task whereby the historian provides lines for actors to speak, but rather is an attempt to understand and explain why something happened, and to construct a context including all of the possible factors involved in a certain historical process. Secondly, supporting (or not opposing) an ideology prevailing at a certain time does not mean that the supporter (or non-opponent) is committing a crime. We could easily condemn half of the European intellectuals for supporting Fascism, Nazism, Communism or Maoism, or just for having become too easily attracted by these – in their mind – fascinating, visionary ideologies to shape European or world history. Thirdly, history has always been written by the winners – and thus, historiography tends to be distorted by exaggerating the evil of the enemy and the goodness of the victor. A moral verdict must be reached when we are dealing with absolute evil, but it is rare to find exclusively good or bad persons or civilizations; therefore history is rarely an issue of black and white.

Though even he was not LEEVI MADETOJA completely immune to the influence of SYMPHONY NO. 2 his great colleague, he did find a voice for KULLERVO ELEGY himself where the elegiac nature of the landscape and folk songs of his native province of Ostrobothnia merged with a French elegance. Madetoja’s three symphonies did not follow the trail blazed by Sibelius, and another mark of his independence as a composer is that his principal works include two operas, Pohjalaisia (The Ostrobothnians, 1924) and Juha (1935), a genre that Sibelius never embraced. Madetoja emerged as a composer while still a student at the Helsinki Music Institute, when Robert Kajanus conducted his first orchestral work, elegy (1909) for strings, in January 1910. The work was favourably received and was given four further performances in Helsinki that spring. It is a melodically charming and harmonically nuanced miniature that betrays the influence of Tchaikovsky in its achingly tender tones. Later, Madetoja incorporated Elegia into his four-movement Sinfoninen sarja (Symphonic Suite, 1910), but even so it is better known as a separate number.

  • Scaramouche and the Commedia Dell'arte
    Scaramouche Sibelius’s horror story Eija Kurki © Finnish National Opera and Ballet archives / Tenhovaara Scaramouche. Ballet in 3 scenes; libr. Paul [!] Knudsen; mus. Sibelius; ch. Emilie Walbom. Prod. 12 May 1922, Royal Dan. B., CopenhaGen. The b. tells of a demonic fiddler who seduces an aristocratic lady; afterwards she sees no alternative to killinG him, but she is so haunted by his melody that she dances herself to death. Sibelius composed this, his only b. score, in 1913. Later versions by Lemanis in Riga (1936), R. HiGhtower for de Cuevas B. (1951), and Irja Koskkinen [!] in Helsinki (1955). This is the description of Sibelius’s Scaramouche, Op. 71, in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet. Initially, however, Sibelius’s Scaramouche was not a ballet but a pantomime. It was completed in 1913, to a Danish text of the same name by Poul Knudsen, with the subtitle ‘Tragic Pantomime’. The title of the work refers to Italian theatre, to the commedia dell’arte Scaramuccia character. Although the title of the work is Scaramouche, its main character is the female dancing role Blondelaine. After Scaramouche was completed, it was then more or less forgotten until it was published five years later, whereupon plans for a performance were constantly being made until it was eventually premièred in 1922. Performances of Scaramouche have 1 attracted little attention, and also Sibelius’s music has remained unknown. It did not become more widely known until the 1990s, when the first full-length recording of this remarkable composition – lasting more than an hour – appeared. Previous research There is very little previous research on Sibelius’s Scaramouche.
