Leevi Madetoja (1887–1947) Symphony No
Leevi Madetoja (1887–1947) Symphony No. 2 / Kullervo / Elegy 1. Kullervo, Symphonic Poem, Op. 15 14:13 Symphony No. 2, Op. 35 2. I. Allegro moderato – 13:23 LEEVI MADETOJA II.

Elegy, Op. 4/1 (First movement from the Symphonic Suite, Op. 4) 5:53 –2– Leevi Madetoja To be an orchestral composer in Finland as a contemporary of Sibelius and nevertheless create an independent composer profile was no mean feat, but Leevi Madetoja managed it. 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. -

Sasha Mäkilä Conducting Madetoja Discoveries About the Art and Profession of Conducting
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 Brass Band Tradition in Finland
KARJALAINEN 83 THE BRASS BAND TRADITION IN FINLAND Kauko Karjalainen Introduction The oldest continuously functioning Finnish amateur bands are now 125 years old. All were originally brass bands. To be more precise, all have their roots in the brass septet, a specifi c and typical ensemble in Finland since the 1870s. One can say that the period encompassing the end of nineteenth century and the fi rst decade of twentieth was the golden age of Finnish brass bands. In order to understand the development of the relatively young band tradition in Fin- land it is necessary to examine Finland’s history, fi rst as a dependency of her neighboring countries and later as an independent nation. Important phases can be clearly identifi ed, primarily by following the models established for military bands. Parts of Finland belonged to the kingdom of Sweden as early the thirteenth century. Historical documents reveal that Finland and especially the town of Turku (Åbo in Swedish) experienced their initial contacts with Renaissance music when Gustaf Wasa was King of Sweden (1523-1560). He maintained a royal corps of trumpeters, who accompanied him when he visited Finland. Gustaf Wasa began to establish a national army, and the fi rst military trumpeters are documented in the 1540s. It is known that there were some trumpeters in the Finnish cavalry at least by the 1550s. In addition, the King mentioned in a letter in autumn 1555 that there were all kinds of large and small wind instruments in Finland.1 Gustaf Wasa’s favorite son, John, was named Duke of Finland in 1556. -

Madetojan sävellystuotanto on monipuolinen ja oikeas- taan kaikilta osiltaan arvostettu. Hänen musiikkiaan on myös julkaistu varsin kiitettävästi, osittain sen ansiosta, että Madetoja testamenttasi tekijänoikeustulonsa tähän tarkoitukseen. Leevi Madetojan tuotantoa on myös tutkittu suhteellisen perusteellisesti – ennen muuta Erkki Sal- menhaara elämäkertaa Leevi Madetoja (1987) varten –, joten teosluetteloitakin on ehtinyt valmis- tua kaksi.

Säveltäjä oli itse mukana toimitustyössä muokaten ja korjaten teoksiaan kokoelmaa varten. Vuoden 1933 julkaisusta tuli myöhempiäkin painoksia ja nuottikokoelmia määrittelevä kokonaisuus, niin että 2000-luvulle asti Madetojan mieskuoromusiikin julkaisut ovat suurelta osin pohjautuneet -

Kauniit harmoniat, melankolisuus, kansallisromantiikka ja kotiseudun vaikutus liittyvät vahvasti Madetojan sävelkieleen, joka vuosien saatossa synnytti suomalaisen taidemusiikin kannalta useita merkittäviä teoksia. Vähemmän tunnetumpi on yksinlaulutuotanto, jossa Madetoja on kuitenkin musiikillisesti varsin ilmaisuvoimainen ja säveltäjä on selvästi pyrkinyt toteuttamaan musiikissaan säveltämiensä tekstien tunnelmaa. Tekstivalintojen kannalta vokaalimusiikin keskiössä ovat Onerva-laulut, ja tässä tutkielmassani tulenkin selvittämään Madetojan ja L. Onervan yhteisen elämän vaikutusta yksinlauluihin. Kiinnostukseni Madetojan yksinlaulutuotantoon heräsi lauluopintojeni kautta, kun ohjelmistoa valitessani otin työstettäväksi muutamia Madetojan lauluja. Työskennellessäni laulujen
