In the words of the composer Insomnia was written between March and November 2002. Technically speaking, it is a set of variations based on a harmonic model separated by a Ritornello-like section, which is essentially a pedal point on the note e. The sound of Insomnia is darker and deeper than that of some of my other orchestral works. I decided to add a quartet of Wagner Tubas to the brass section for the very particular sonority only these rare and weird instruments can produce. ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Jean Sibelius (·)) (8 December 1865 - 20 September 1957) was a Finnish composer of the later Romantic period whose music played an important role in the formation of the Finnish national identity. His mastery of the orchestra has been described as "prodigious". The core of Sibelius's oeuvre is his set of seven symphonies. Like Beethoven, Sibelius used each one to develop further his own personal compositional style. Unlike Beethoven who used the symphonies to make public statements, and who reserved his more intimate feelings for his smaller works, Sibelius released his personal feelings in the symphonies. These works continue to be performed frequently in the concert hall and are often recorded. In addition to the symphonies, Sibelius's best-known compositions include Finlandia, Valse triste, the violin concerto, the Karelia Suite and The Swan of Tuonela (one of the four movements of the Lemminkäinen Suite).

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Esa-Pekka Salonen (·); born June 30, 1958) is a Finnish orchestral conductor and composer. He is currently Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the Philharmonia Orchestra in London and Conductor Laureate of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Salonen, born in Helsinki, Finland, studied horn and composition at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, as well as conducting with Jorma Panula. His conducting classmates included Jukka-Pekka Saraste and Osmo Vänskä. Another classmate on the composition side was the composer Magnus Lindberg and together they formed the new-music appreciation group Korvat auki and the experimental ensemble Toimii ("Ears open" and "It works" in the Finnish language). Later, Salonen studied with the composers Franco Donatoni, Niccolò Castiglioni and Einojuhani Rautavaara. His first experience with conducting came in 1979 with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, though he still thought of himself principally as a composer; in fact, Salonen has said that the primary reason he took up conducting was to ensure that someone would conduct his own compositions. In 1983, however, he replaced an indisposed Michael Tilson Thomas to conduct a performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with the Philharmonia Orchestra in London at very short notice without ever having studied the score before that time, and it launched his career as a conductor. He was subsequently principal guest conductor of the Philharmonia from 1985 to 1994. Salonen was principal conductor of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1984-1995. Salonen made his U.S. conducting debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1984. His initial reaction was as follows: "I had no idea what to expect.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Oskar Merikanto était un compositeur, pianiste, organiste, chef d'orchestre et pédagogue finlandais, né Frans Oskar Mattsson à Helsinki (Finlande) le 5 août 1868, décédé à Oitti - Hausjärvi - (Finlande) le 17 février 1924. Il est le père d'Aarre Merikanto (1893-1958), également compositeur. Son père d'origine suédoise, Frank Mattsson, adoptera le nom de "Merikanto" une fois installé en Finlande. Le jeune Oskar étudie d'abord la musique à Helsinki, puis en Allemagne, au Conservatoire de Leipzig de 1887 à 1889 et enfin au Conservatoire de Berlin en 1890-1891. À Helsinki, il enseigne l'orgue de 1889 à 1914 à l'École des Cantors et des Organistes ; à l'Institut Musical (future Académie Sibelius), entre 1904 et 1918, il enseigne l'orgue et forme des chefs de chœur. En 1911, il participe à la fondation de l'Opéra National (actuel Opéra national de Finlande), dont il sera le premier chef d'orchestre permanent de 1911 à 1914, puis régulièrement chef invité jusqu'en 1922. Il aura également des activités de critique musical. Mais surtout, il sera organiste titulaire de l'Église Saint-Jean d'Helsinki, de 1892 jusqu'à sa mort en 1924. Comme compositeur (dans un style romantique tardif), on lui doit de nombreuses pièces pour piano et pour orgue, de la musique de chambre, beaucoup de mélodies et duos pour voix et piano, des œuvres chorales également en quantité (notamment a cappella, p...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Kaija Saariaho, née Kaija Anneli Laakkonen le 14 octobre 1952 à Helsinki, est une compositrice finlandaise. Kaija Saariaho apprend la musique à partir de l'âge de 6 ans, avec comme instruments le violon, le piano et l'orgue. Elle s'oriente vers l'académie des Beaux-Arts de Helsinki pour y étudier la peinture et le dessin, tout ayant la volonté de devenir compositrice. Elle décider d'étudier sérieusement la musique en 1976, et intègre l'Académie Sibelius de Helsinki, dans la classe de Paavo Heininen. L'enseignement de Heininen est rude, mais Saariaho le reconnaît comme essentiel, lui permettant notamment de lever un blocage sur son expression musicale. Elle participe à des rencontres entre jeunes compositeurs, et forme un groupe qu'ils appellent Korvat auki (oreilles ouvertes en finlandais), qui comprend entre autres Magnus Lindberg, Jouni Kaipainen, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Jukka Tiensuu. En 1980, Saariaho se rend à Darmstadt et y découvre l'école spectrale française, en particulier la musique de Tristan Murail et de Gérard Grisey, ce qui a été pour elle une vraie révélation. Elle termine ses études à l'académie Sibelius en 1981. Elle quitte ensuite la Finlande pour étudier à Fribourg-en-Brisgau, auprès de Brian Ferneyhough et Klaus Huber, pendant deux ans, puis à l'IRCAM à Paris, pour se former à l'informatique musicale. Elle vit à Paris depuis 1982. Elle est l'auteur de trois opéras : L'Amour de loin (2000) et Adr...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
