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.

  • 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.

    Finnish Choral Music By Jeffrey Sandborg Jeffrey Sandborg is Assistant Professor of Music and tion is a set of twenty "Piae Cantiones" arrangements for Chairman of the Department of Music at Pikeville College, mixed chorus by Heikki Klemetti. Pikeville, Kentucky. Between 1978 and 1979 Sandborg studied in Helsinki, Finland at both the Sibelius Academy and Helsinki University as an ITT Fellow. His D.M.A. in choral music is in progress at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Finnish choral music rarely has been performed in the United States nor has much been written in the English language on the subject.

  • Nuijamiesten Marssi-Kuula-February 2021
    OYS O F AMERICA Finnish Brass in America Series CF23 Nuijamiesten marssi Toivi Kuula AP Publishing Northfeld • Minnesota • USA Ameriikan poijat Finnish Classics Series Nuijamiesten marssi (“Club Thrower’s March”) opus 28, #4 (1912), was written by Toivo Kuula (7 July 1883, Vaasa – 18 May 1918, Viipuri) a Finnish composer and conductor of the late-Romantic and early-modern periods. He emerged in the wake of Jean Sibelius, under whom he studied privately from 1906 to 1908. The core of Kuula's oeuvre are his many works for voice and orchestra, in particular the Stabat mater (1914–18; completed by Madetoja), The Sea-Bathing Maidens (1910), Son of a Slave (1910), and The Maiden and the Boyar's Son (1912). In addition he also composed two Ostrobothnian Suites for orchestra and left an unfinished symphony at the time of his death in 1918. Vuorella and Soitto were in a set of original septet pieces for the KVS Society’s summer festivals. Nuijamiesten marssi, based on early Finnish history, with text by V. Koskenniemi, is originally for mixed choir and orchestra. In 1914, it was arranged for male choir a cappella for the inauguration of the "Helsinki home" of the Ostrobothnia Society (the upper floor of the Ostrobotnia Restaurant). In his opus list it is also classified with the brass septet pieces, Op 28, #4. =================== The Ameriikan poijat Finnish Classics Series presents brass band music of the era around Finnish independence, which has largely not played in more than a century. Manuscripts of his band music was found in national archives, libraries, and community band libraries from around Finland, especially Turku, Pori, Oulainen, Tampere, Mänttä, and Helsinki.
