Taivaanvalot (Heavenly lights)
Symphony for tenor, violoncello and piano
Texts from the "Kalevala" in the translation of Keith Bosley
tenor, cello and piano
Taivaanvalot is based on text fragments from the Kalevala, a collection of heroic Finnish poems. With his translation into music, Mustonen attempts to make the difficult, sometimes even hypnotic and shamanic qualities of this poetry accessible to a wider audience.
Product Details
Description
The text for my work Taivaanvalot is composed of fragments of a story appearing in the Kalevala – a collection of Finnish heroic folk poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot (1802–1884).
As much of it is simply impossible to translate, I have felt that with the help of music it could be possible also to convey some of the untranslatable and at times even hypnotic and shamanistic qualities of this poetry to an audience not fluent in our unusual language. Olli Mustonen
