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.
