LIITE TIEDOTTEESEEN 2020 Wihurin Kansainvälisten Palkintojen Rahasto LIITE TIEDOTTEESEEN 2020 Wihurin kansainvälisten palkintojen rahasto Wihurin kansainvälisten palkintojen rahasto on vuonna 1953 perustettu yleishyödyllinen säätiö, jonka peruspääoman on lahjoittanut merenkulkuneuvos Antti Wihuri. Säätiön tarkoituksena on edistää ja tukea ihmiskunnan henkistä ja taloudellista kehitystä. Säätiö toteuttaa tarkoitustaan jakamalla palkintoja vähintään kolmen vuoden välein tunnustukseksi rakentavasta työstä, joka on erinomaisesti edistänyt ja kehittänyt ihmiskunnan henkistä ja taloudellista kehitystä. Palkintoja voivat saada sekä yksityishenkilöt että yhteisöt kansallisuuteen katsomatta. Wihurin Sibelius-palkinto 2020 Jukka Tiensuu Jukka Tiensuu (s.1948) on yksi kansainvälisesti tunnetuimmista suomalaisista säveltäjistä. Hän on opiskellut muun muassa Sibelius-Akatemiassa ja Juilliard Schoolissa. Tiensuu on palkittu Erik Bergman -palkinnolla (1996), Teosto-palkinnolla (2004) ja säveltaiteen valtionpalkinnolla (2012). Tiensuun teokset huokuvat syvää henkisyyttä ja hänen johdonmukainen tinkimättömyytensä taiteellisista päämääristä on vakuuttavaa. Tiensuun sävelkieli on kompromisseja kaihtamatonta mutta samalla hänen musiikissaan on usein läsnä puhdas ilo, ja jopa huumori. Tiensuu on kyennyt luomaan rikkaan, tunnistettavan ja omaperäisen musiikillisen ilmaisun. Samaan aikaan hänen musiikissaan on kuultavissa taidemusiikin monien traditioiden perinpohjainen tuntemus. Laajan tuotannon keskiössä ovat moni-ilmeiset orkesteriteokset, joista esimerkiksi Mxpzkl (1977) sekä Voice Verser(2012) sopraanolle ja orkesterille heijastavat Tiensuun tyylin kehittymistä nykyiseen ilmaisuunsa. Suurissa orkesteriteoksissa Lumo (1996) ja Soma (1998) hän on laajentanut soinnillista palettiaan myös teknologiaa hyödyntämällä. Tiensuun persoonalliset konsertot piirtävät kuvan rohkeasta ja taitavasta säveltäjästä, ja esimerkiksi klarinettikonsertto Puro (1998) ja Teoton (2015), konsertto shengille (kiinalainen suu-urku), osoittavat kykyä hyödyntää soitinten ilmaisukapasiteetti kokonaisuudessaan. Erilaisten tyylien ja tekniikoiden hallintaan yhdistyvät rohkeat kokoonpanovalinnat muun muassa teoksissa Umori (2004) big bandille sekä Mora (2012) tenorille ja barokkiorkesterille. Tiensuun tuotanto sisältää runsaasti kamarimusiikkia. Yläsävelsarjan taidokas hyödyntäminen teoksessa Beat(1997) klarinetille, pianolle ja sellolle tuo esille Tiensuun kyvyn luoda kiehtovia ja yllätyksellisiä sointi-ilmiöitä. Samoin kuin orkesterimusiikissa, on myös hänen kamarimusiikkiteoksissaan kuultavissa säveltäjän kiinnostus tasavireisestä järjestelmästä poikkeaviin viritysjärjestelmiin ja tietokoneavusteiseen säveltämiseen. Tiensuu tuntee perusteellisesti instrumentit, joille säveltää, käyttäen monipuolisesti ja omaleimaisesti eri soitinten ilmaisumahdollisuuksia. Aktiivisen ja kasvavasti kansainvälistä huomiota keräävän sävellystyön ohella Tiensuu on toiminut myös esiintyvänä muusikkona ja opettajana. Hän on vaikuttanut pysyvästi Suomen musiikkielämään ja ollut perustamassa Helsinki Biennalea (nykyisin Musica nova Helsinki) sekä Viitasaaren musiikin aika -festivaalia, joista kumpikin on nykyisin kansainvälisesti merkittävä tiedon, taidon ja kontaktien välittymisen paikka uusille säveltäjäsukupolville. Wihurin kansainvälinen palkinto 2020 Navin Ramankutty Professori Navin Ramankutty (s. 1970, Intia) toimii globaalin ruokaturvan ja kestävyyden professorina Kanadassa University of British Columbiassa. Hän on maailman johtavia kestävän globaalin ruokajärjestelmän tutkijoita. Hänen tutkimusohjelmansa tavoitteena on ymmärtää, kuinka ihmiset käyttävät ja muokkaavat maan maapinta-alaa maataloudessa ja sen vaikutuksia globaaliin ympäristöön. Lisäksi Ramankuttyn tavoitteena on etsiä ratkaisuja maailman ruokahaasteeseen samalla kun maatalouden globaali ympäristöjalanjälki pyritään minimoimaan. Ramankutty soveltaa innovatiivisesti erilaisia globaaleja datoja ja numeerisia ekosysteemimalleja, jotka mahdollistavat uusia ja rakentavia maatalouden tuotantotapojen muuttamisen haasteisiin ympäristöllisesti kestävän suuntaan. Hänen globaalit maankäyttömallinsa sekä meta-analyysit ovat keskeisessä roolissa koko alan globaaleissa tutkimuksissa. Ramankutty on yksi pääkirjoittajista Solutions for a cultivated planet – artikkelissa (Nature). Tällä artikkelilla on yksinään ollut erittäin suuri merkitys tutkimuksen suuntautumiseen kestävää ruokajärjestelmää koskevassa tutkimuksessa. Ekosysteemivaikutuksilla on keskeinen rooli hänen työssään laajemminkin. Hän on arvioinut tutkimuksessaan esimerkiksi luomutuotannon globaalia potentiaalia. Ramankutty kansainvälistä arvostusta ja merkitystä osoittavat muun muassa se, että hän on osallistunut vuosituhannen ekosysteemiarviointiraportin (Millenium Assesment) kirjoittamiseen ja hallitustenvälisen ilmastomuutospaneelin IPPC:n neljännen arviointiraportin laatimiseen. Kummankin raportin yhteiskunnallinen vaikuttavuus on ollut erittäin suuri. Ramankutty on julkaissut yli sata vertaisarvioitua artikkelia, mukaan lukien yhdeksän artikkelia Naturessa sekä kolme Sciencessa. Hän on yksi maailman viitatuimmista tutkijoista ruokaturvan ja kestävien ruokajärjestelmien aloilla. Professori Ramankuttyn työssä yhdistyy tutkijan yhteiskunnallinen vastuullisuus ja innovatiivisten tutkimusmenetelmien yhdistäminen kestävän ruokajärjestelmän tutkimukseen johtaen erittäin korkeatasoiseen ja vaikuttavaan tieteelliseen tuotantoon.

  • 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.
