  • COMPLETE Joonas Kokkonen Inauguratio
    Joonas Kokkonen (b.1921) composed his orchestral piece Inauguratio in r971, after the slmphonic sketchesand cello concerto andjust before the Foirth symphon;y(all three pieces are available on BIS-cD-468). The piece was a commission from the Helsinki Festival and the intention was for it to be performed at the opening of the 'Inauguration'indicates). Finlandia Hall (as the title The Hall was not completed in time, however, and the composition was premidred at a Helsinki Festival concerr in the House of Culture. According to the composer the work deals more with the inausuration of a person's work or life than with the opening of a building. It has not been Kokkonen's custom to compose two works of the same genre in direct succession; he has always wished to examine the material from a fresh standpoint. The only exception to his principle is the second sltmphonlt, written immediately after the Firsrslmphony (BIS-cD-485). According to the composer, the basic idea of the work dates back to the period he spent working on the Firsr 'simply S1mphon1,and he had to set about this work-,, even thotieh 'promised'and two other already sketched works were already waiting their turn. In his 'take suond slmphonT Kokkonen wanted to further those ideas which alreadv appeared in the first Slmphony'. Much of the secondslmphonl was composed on the shore of Lake Zririch in the small village of Herrlieberg, where the composer worked thanks to an arts scholarship from UNESCo from rhe beginning of Argt,rt 1960 until the end of the fbllowingJanuary.

  • MTO 8.4: Väisälä, Review of Jackson and Murtomäki
    Volume 8, Number 4, December 2002 Copyright © 2002 Society for Music Theory Olli Väisälä [1] The Janus-faced Sibelius [2] Jackson’s Enterprise: Bold Promises—Shaky Groundwork [3] Excursion: Salience and Stability in Schumann’s Fantasy op. 17 [4] Limits of Prolongational Thinking? [5] Considerations of Multikey Schemes [6] Laufer’s Case Study: Inspiration and Realism [7] Aspects of Modernism The Janus-faced Sibelius [1] As discussed in the Preface of Sibelius Studies, the reception of Jean Sibelius’s music has been marked by a curious dichotomy. By and large, musicians, the musical public (with certain geographical limitations), and the recording industry have enthusiastically promoted its cause, while “academics outside Finland have taken Sibelius seriously only recently” (xv). The most famous or infamous epitome of the “academical” scorn for Sibelius, Theodor Adorno’s “Glosse über Sibelius,” is quoted once again in the Preface. And certainly, in view of his formidable intellectual influence, a reference to Adorno at the outset of a Sibelius book is still in order as an aid to identifying those aspects of Sibelius’s music that have led to the “academic” prejudices against it—even if the level of musical penetration in a casual attack such as “Glosse” is hardly adequate for meriting a lasting influence. [2] The present anthology testifies to a change of attitudes among “academics.” Of its twelve contributors, seven are North Americans and Britons whereas five are Finns. The essays treat Sibelius’s music from widely variable angles, but, significantly, the majority of them make use of modern analytical techniques, being thus willing to address Adorno’s charge of the inadequate “state of musical material” directly by the close examination of that material.
