Het vierdelige Tweede strijkkwartet van de Fin Einojuhani Rautavaara uit 1958 is nog duidelijk geworteld in het modernisme van de jaren vijftig. Samen met zijn landgenoot Erik Bergmann was Rautavaara de eerste Finse serialist, al stapte hij rond 1970 hier alweer vanaf. Het contrast met de muziek van Rautavaara's leerling Kalevi Aho kan niet groter […]

Con Mario Mora | ¿Y si el poeta opacó al músico? En otro mes de agosto en el que siempre se recuerda el fusilamiento de Federico García Lorca, aprovechamos su figura para explorar su lado más musical. Un poeta que estudió música, composición, y que dejó algunas ideas musicales plasmadas en alguna partitura. Con música de Lorca, Falla y Rautavaara,

Tapio Rautavaara (1915–1979) oli köyhästä työläistaustasta ponnistanut laulaja, elokuvanäyttelijä, keihäänheiton olympiavoittaja ja jousiammunnan maailmanmestari, joka saavutti jakamattoman sankarin aseman aiemmin sisällissodan jakaman kansakunnan kaapin päällä. Teatteri Avoimissa ovissa esitetään Timo Ruuskasen kirjoittamaa ja esittämää ja Olka Horilan ohjaamaa näytelmää Rautavaara, ihminen ja ikoni. Ohjelmassa Ruuskanen kertoo, mikä Rautavaarassa on kiinnostavaa tänään ja miten hänen historiallisen roolinsa kautta voi kuvata myös nykyajan kuplautumisen ja kärjistyvien vastakkainasettelujen ylittämisen mahdollisuutta. Samalla pohditaan kulkuriolemukseen piiloutuvia kulttuurisia merkityksiä ja haavekuvia.

Jonathan Owen, CEO of Metals One #MET1 discusses how drilling is about to commence at their Black Schist Project, which is located next to Europe's largest operating nickel mine. Jonathan also explains why the company has formally submitted six new licence applications and reservations in both the Rautavaara and Paltamo project areas which constitute the Black Schist Project. Highlights  Metals One #MET1, which is advancing battery metal projects at brownfield sites in Finland and Norway, announces that the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency ("Tukes") has granted the Company an extension to its Rauta 9-11 licence at the Black Schist Project (nickel, copper, cobalt, zinc). Metals One now has the right to prospect on all land within the licence for an additional three years until November 2026, and the Company will next week commence a ~1,600m diamond drilling programme at an extension to the Rautavaara S "R1" target in the Rauta 9-11 licence area (referred to by the Company as the "R1 Hook"). The licence extension was granted following extensive landowner and community consultation, as well as an inspection of the Company's proposed exploration programme, and will enable Metals One to focus on significantly increasing the Black Schist Project's existing Inferred Mineral Resource of 28.1 Mt of Talvivaara-type mineralised material at a grade of 0.19% Ni (53,800t), 0.10% Cu (27,900t), 0.01% Co (3,400t) and 0.38% Zn (180,000t).

Synopsis Do you believe in Angels? It seems the late Finnish composer Einojuhanni Rautavaara did – and produced a number of orchestral pieces with evocative titles like Angels and Visitations or Angel of Light. One of these, a concerto for double-bass and orchestra titled, Angel of Dusk, had its premiere performance on today's date in 1981, in Helsinki. “Looking out the window of a plane,” writes Rautavaara, ”I saw a strikingly shaped cloud, gray but pierced with color, rising above the Atlantic horizon. Suddenly, the words Angel of Dusk came to mind.” When Rautavaara was asked to write a double-bass concerto he recalled the vision of the cloud and had his title. In an interview, Rautavaara spoke of a scientist who wrote that ‘the existence of music is an intellectual scandal'. Rautavaara explained, “With that he meant that there is a message in music, and yet there are no words for that message. It's from another world. For a scientist that is a scandal. For me, it's a wonderful thing.” “In the end, I agree with Carl Jung,” said Rautavaara. “The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him.” Music Played in Today's Program Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928 - 2016) Angel of Dusk Olli Kosonen, double bass; Finnish Radio Symphony; Leif Segerstam, conductor.

Carl Orff's choral celebration of love, lust and youthful excess in medieval times is as iconic as ever — at once gloriously bawdy and touchingly beautiful. Rautavaara's ethereal “concerto for birds and orchestra” features bird calls recorded in arctic Finland.

Synopsis While many great composers have also been great conductors, this can be the exception rather than the rule. On today's date in 1959, the American composer Ned Rorem tried his hand at conducting the premiere of one of his own compositions, a chamber suite entitled “Eleven Studies for Eleven Players.” Rorem recalled: “I learned that the first requisite to becoming a conductor is an inborn lust for absolute monarchy, and that I, alone among musicians, never got the bug. I was terrified. The first rehearsal was a model of how NOT to inspire confidence. I stood before the eleven players in all my virginal glory, and announced: ‘I've never conducted before, so if I give a wrong cue, do try to come in right anyway.'” Fortunately for Rorem, his eleven musicians were accomplished faculty at Buffalo University, and, despite his inexperience, Rorem certainly knew how his new piece should sound. Rorem's Suite incorporated a few bits recycled from music he had written for a successful Broadway hit—Tennessee Williams' “Suddenly Last Summer”—plus a bit from an unsuccessful play entitled “Motel” that never made it past a Boston tryout. Rorem's own tryout as a conductor convinced him to stick to composing, although he proved to be a fine piano accompanist for singers performing his own songs. As for “Eleven Studies for Eleven Players,” it's gone on to become one of Rorem's most-often performed chamber works.

Ihme Kuka ei usko ihmeisiin? Eihän käveleminenkään ole itsestäänselvyys, ei tahaton laihuus, taikka pyyleyvyys Ei kaikilla ole käsiä, enkä nyt tarkoita vain pässiä. Ihme on jokainen vauva , ihminen, kissa, tai hauva. Ihme on sauva vanhuksen, jo Rautavaara totesi laulussaan sen. Ihme on käsiä liikuttaa, ihme, että puhdasta ilmaa hengittää saa. Ihme on jokainen taideteos, jokaisen valokuvan koevedos. Ihme, joka lauluna kurkusta kimpoaa, ihme saa joet virtaamaan. Katso tarkkaan ja huomaat sen, ilman ihmeitä on vaikea olla ihminen.

Finnish opera singer Eino Rautavaara lived from 1879-1939. After studying in France, Germany and Italy, Rautavaara returned to Finland to serve as the Helsinki Kallio church cantor until 1922, then after, as a teacher at the Church Music Institute. His son, Einojuhani Rautavaara, was born in 1928 and went on to become one of Finland's most notable composers. The songs featured in this episode were recorded between 1905 and 1909.

Synopsis Some instruments seem to have all the luck – or at least all the concertos! If you play piano or violin, you have hundreds of concertos to choose from. But if your instrument is the harp – and you will forgive the pun – the pluckings are slim. This hardly seems fair to one of mankind's oldest instruments, depicted on murals from ancient Egypt and traditionally associated with King David in the Bible. In the 18th and early 19th century, there are a handful of great classical harp concertos by Handel, Mozart, and others. In the 20th century, things start to improve a little, with modern concertos by Gliere, Pierne, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and Rodrigo. On today's date in 1955, we're happy to report, one of the finest modern works for harp and orchestra had its premiere performance when harpist Nicanor Zabeleta premiered a new harp concerto by the prolific Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos – with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by the composer. One more recent addition came in 2000 from the pen of the Finnish composer Einojuhanni Rautavaara. His harp concerto was commissioned by the Minnesota Orchestra, who premiered the new work with the Finnish conductor Osmo Vänskä and Kathy Kienzle as soloist.

Suomalainen keihäänheittäjä on viimeksi ottanut arvokisamitalin vuonna 2016 Amsterdamissa, kun Antti Ruuskanen heitti pronssia. Pihtiputaan keihäskarnevaalien perustajajäseniin kuuluva Leo Pusa vakuuttaa Jari Porttilan haastattelussa, että menestyksen päiviä on luvassa myös jatkossa. Pusa paljastaa myös sen, että ensimmäisten karnevaalien 1971 kuuluttajana toimin Lontoon olympialaisten kultamitalisti Tapio Rautavaara. Kimmo Kinnunen on ollut mukana Karnevaaleilla pienestä pitäen, myös hänellä on vahva usko tulevaisuuden keihäsmenestykseen. Docendo on juuri julkaissut Sinivalkoinen Keihäskaari kirjan, jossa käydään läpi Pihtiputaan keihäskarnevaalien 50 vuotinen historia.

Hace casi 93 años, un 9 de octubre de 1928 nació el compositor finlandés Einojuhani Rautavaara. Protegido de Jean Sibelius, este compositor estudió con Aaron Copland, y así sus tendencias vanguardista le llevaron a experimentar con música electrónica en los años 70. En 1972, por encargo de la Universidad de Oulu, la de mayor prestigio en Finlandia, produjo una obra excepcional, subtitulada “Concierto para pájaros y orquesta”. Rautavaara, haciendo uso de las nuevas tecnologías condujo la idea de gorjeo a un nivel nuevo. Grabó en cintas magnetofónicas a determinados pájaros del círculo polar ártico y de los pantanos de Liminka, y manipuló los sonidos para mezclarlos con la orquesta, produciendo efectos capaces de erizar la piel de cualquier escucha. Hoy escucharemos de Einojuhani el segundo movimiento de éste concierto para pájaros llamado Melancolía de manos de la Orquesta Sinfónica de la Radio de Leipzig dirigida por Max Pommer.

Synopsis On today’s date in 1969, Leonard Bernstein conducted his last concert as the Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. Bernstein had assumed that post in November of 1957, becoming the first American-born and trained conductor to do so. For sports fans, these were Bernstein’s “stats” as of May 17, 1969: He had conducted 939 concerts, more than anyone else in Philharmonic history. He had given 36 world premieres, 14 U.S. premieres, 15 New York City premieres and led more than 40 works never before performed by the orchestra. At Philharmonic concerts Bernstein conducted Vivaldi, Bach, and Handel, but also Babbitt, Cage, and Ligeti. He led the world premiere performance of the Second Symphony of Charles Ives and included other elder American composers like Carl Ruggles and Wallingford Riegger on Philharmonic programs, as well as works by his contemporaries, Ned Rorem and Lukas Foss, and his own compositions as well. Bernstein would continue to appear with the New York Philharmonic as its Laureate Conductor, and as a popular guest conductor with major orchestras around the world. His final concerts were with the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood in the summer of 1990. He died in October of that year.

Synopsis In the 1980s, the Finnish Broadcasting Company had come up with the idea of commissioning a whole evening’s worth of orchestral pieces by native composer Einojuhanni Rautavaara, which, when taken together, would form a conventional concert program of overture, concerto and symphony. These three works have come to be called the “Angel Trilogy,” since each of them has a title with the word “Angel” in it. Rautavaara’s Fifth Symphony, with the working title “Monologue with Angels,” premiered on today’s date in 1986, was originally to be the symphonic conclusion of this triple commission. But Rautavaara dropped the title, and his Symphony No. 7, subtitled “Angel of Light,” ended up being the third part of the “Angel Trilogy,” alongside an overture entitled “Angels and Visitations” and a double-bass concerto entitled “Angel of Dusk.” If you asked the mystical Rautavaara why he changed his mind, he would probably have said it really wasn’t HIS idea at all. Rautavaara believed that his compositions already existed in ‘another reality,’ as he said, and his job was just to bring it into our world in one piece. "I firmly believe that compositions have a will of their own,” he said, “even though some people smile at the concept.” Music Played in Today's Program Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928 - 2016) Symphony No. 5 Leipzig Radio Symphony; Max Pommer, cond.

Synopsis Is the customer always right? Apparently Giuseppe Verdi thought so–to a degree, at least. On today’s date in 1872, Verdi sent a note to his publisher with an attached letter he had received from a disgruntled customer, a certain Prospero Bertani, who had attended not one, but two performances of Verdi’s brand-new opera, “Aida.” Bertani said, “I admired the scenery... I listened with pleasure to the excellent singers, and took pains to let nothing escape me. After it was over, I asked myself whether I was satisfied. The answer was ‘no’.” Since everyone else seemed to think “Aida” was terrific, Bertani attended a second performance to make sure he wasn’t mistaken, and concluded: “The opera contains absolutely nothing thrilling or electrifying. If it were not for the magnificent scenery, the audience would not sit through it.” Bertini itemized his expenses for tickets, train fare, and meals, and asked Verdi for reimbursement. Verdi was so amused that he instructed Ricordi to pay Bertani – but not the full amount, since, as Verdi put it: “…to pay for his dinner too? No! He could very well have eaten at home!” COMPOSERS DATEBOOK is produced by APM, American Public Media, in collaboration with the American Composers Forum, reminding you that "all music was once new."

Do you believe in Angels? Apparently the mystical Finnish composer Einojuhanni Rautavaara did. He produced a number of orchestral pieces with evocative titles like "Angels and Visitations" or "Angel of Light." One of these, a concerto for double-bass and orchestra, is titled "Angel of Dusk," and was given its premiere performance in on today's date in 1981, in Helsinki. "Looking out the window of a plane," wrote Rautavaara, "I saw a strikingly shaped cloud, gray but pierced with color, rising above the Atlantic horizon. Suddenly, the words 'Angel of Dusk' came to mind." Rautavaara had been asked to write a double-bass concerto for a friend, who died before the composer could comply with the request. Some years later, when the idea of such a concerto was suggested by another soloist, Rautavaara recalled the vision of the cloud, and had his title. In an interview, Rautavaara spoke of a scientist who wrote that "the existence of music is an intellectual scandal." "With that he meant," Rautavaara explained, "…that there is a message in music, and yet there are no words for that message. It's from another world. For a scientist that is a scandal. For me, it's a wonderful thing." "In the end, I agree with Carl Jung," said Rautavaara. "The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him."

During the summer of 2017, Merriweather led Voices of Haiti in performances with Andrea Bocelli at Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, Italy and for Pope Francis at the Vatican. Other conducting highlights of the 2017-18 season include: David Lang's The Little Match Girl Passion, Vaughan Williams's Dona nobis pacem, Bach's Singet dem Herrn, BWV 225, and Komm, Jesu, komm, BWV 229 with The Dessoff Choirs; Handel's Messiah at Brooklyn College and the Harvard Club of New York; and Leonard Bernstein's Mass (Concert Selections) and Honegger's King David at Brooklyn College.

Merriweather holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Conducting from the studio of Kent Tritle at the Manhattan School of Music, where his doctoral dissertation, Now I Walk in Beauty, Gregg Smith: A Biography and Complete Works Catalog, constituted the first complete works list for the composer and conductor. He received Master of Music degrees in Choral Conducting and in Vocal Performance from the studio of Rita Shane at the Eastman School of Music, as well as a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education from Syracuse University, summa cum laude.
