    Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre Sasha Mäkilä Conducting Madetoja Discoveries About the Art and Profession of Conducting A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music) Supervisor: Prof. Mart Humal Tallinn 2018 ABSTRACT Conducting Madetoja. Discoveries About the Art and Profession of Conducting For the material of my doctoral project, I have chosen the three symphonies of the Finnish composer Leevi Madetoja (1887–1947), all of which I have performed in my doctoral concerts during years 2012–2017. In my doctoral thesis, I concentrate on his first symphony, Op. 29, but to fully understand the context it would be beneficial to familiarize oneself with my doctoral concerts on the accompanying DVDs, as well as with the available commercial and archival recordings of Madetoja’s three symphonies. The aim of this thesis is to understand the effect of scholarly activity (in this case working with manuscripts and recordings) on the artistic and practical aspects of a conductor’s work; this is not a study on the music of Madetoja per se, but I am using these hitherto unknown symphonies as a case study for my research inquiries. My main research inquiry could be formulated as: What kind of added value the study of composer’s manuscripts and other contemporary sources, the analysis of the existing recordings of the work by other performers, and the experience gained during repeated performances of the work, bring to performing (conducting) the work, as opposed to working straightforwardly using only the readily available published edition(s)? My methods are the analysis of musical scores, manuscripts and recordings, critical reflection on my own artistic practices, and two semi-structured interviews with conductor colleagues.

The work was premiered by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra at Tallinn’s St. John’s Church on 31 October 2015, conducted by Risto Joost. The cycle is shaped and animated by its texts: a selection of poems by the English author Emily Brontë (1818–1848). These poems were chosen and arranged by the Estonian poet Doris Kareva, after which the individual pieces were composed. “Emily Brontë is perhaps the most well- known, but also the most mysterious of English literature’s three Brontë sisters. Her only novel, Wuthering Heights, has been translated into several languages and adapted for both theater and film. Emily Brontë’s succinct, intensely inward-looking poetry, which is often seen as mystical or metaphysical, sprung up from these same landscapes: the moors of Yorkshire.

Currently the author E of eight symphonies (first performance of the newest by Olari Elts and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra on April 30, 2010 in Glasgow), an opera, a number of instrumental concertos and a variety of pieces of chamber music, Erkki-Sven Tüür is a unique phenomenon in Estonian and world music. At the beginning of his career he was greatly inspired by progressive rock, later on by Gregorian chants, minimalism, dodecaphony and various soundscape techniques. In the 1990’s his compositions were characterized by attempts to synthesize various “stylistic archetypes” (not to mix up with historical styles) with the aim of finding or discovering a musical metalanguage that would bind together different styles. His newest compositions, however, base on a completely original vectorial method of composition, i.e. on a certain code that is further “translated” into music by giving pitch sequences a particular direction (explained below).

This may explain why his preferred medium is the string orchestra (Azure; Leaving Capri; Elegies of Thule). But also in his compositions for the symphony orchestra, it is the melody – whether hymn-like, passionately declamatory or ornamental – which is the soul of the piece. Kõrvits is a marvellous expert on the orchestra and a master of instrumentation, able to tune into the character of each instrument and to translate this particularity into music. We can hear this in the many instrument solos in his works.
