Alot of Baltic influence going on these days.
Thanks to my friend Staffan Wieslander, swedish musician, I´ve discovered a new interesting composer. Kaija Saariaho is her name, born 1952 in Finland.
Also I´m listening abit to Erik Bergman for my voiceworks project at Guildhall school. Born 1911 in Finland. Hi opus 85, Dreams for choir.
Arvo Part´s symphony 4, 2nd movement is my new "focus" music. When I have a hard time focusing on my writing, Arvo comes to the rescue. My last 2 focus pieces were Fratres, for cello and piano, also by Arvo, when writing my duet for viola and piano "Become". And when I was writing "Burned Alive" for 2 pianos it was Rachmaninof who saved me with his piano trios 1 and 2 and suit no.2 for 2 pianos.
Arvo Part´s 4th, 2nd movement:
