Elegy

Madetoja's Elegy for string orchestra is the first movement of the Symphonich Suite op. 4 (1910). This product includes the full score (A4) and the parts (B4).

Leevi Madetoja (1887-1947) was by nature basically a National Romantic composer. Equally pronounced in his music was, however, a classical streak aiming at balance, clarity, refinement of expression and technical polish. He also drew on a combination of the Finnish folk melody and the new French music he heard in Paris at the beginning of the century to produce a style that was entirely his own.
