[05:45 - 05:50]
and steep oil are conducting the remaining portion of today's
[05:50 - 05:55]
broadcast will be devoted to the performance of a work for chamber ensemble composed
[05:55 - 06:00]
by Ekiti Solomon Hora one of the most serious and dedicated representatives
[06:00 - 06:04]
of the younger generation of Finnish composers. So mint haha
[06:04 - 06:09]
born in 1041 studied at the academy and also with George
[06:09 - 06:14]
Ligeti. In addition to his work as a composer he is a research
[06:14 - 06:19]
assistant did musicology at the University of Helsinki and a music critic.
[06:19 - 06:24]
His early career as a composer was marked by considerable experimentation in the
[06:24 - 06:29]
smaller forms. But he has now begun to use the larger forms such as the
[06:29 - 06:34]
symphony. His three symphonies an impressive number for so young a person
[06:34 - 06:39]
unmistakably bring together techniques he has learned from the works of sebaceous and his
[06:39 - 06:43]
teacher Ligeti in Finland. Solomon hora is looked upon somewhat
[06:43 - 06:48]
as a reformer of the symphonic form or idea and as one critic wrote he
[06:48 - 06:53]
really believes in it as a vital and important musical vehicle.
[06:53 - 06:59]
The work by this young composer to be heard today is a chamber piece bearing the title
[06:59 - 07:04]
is about toe evil. It's unmistakably in the contemporary idiom an idiom
[07:04 - 07:09]
which could be described as contemporary impressionism. It was
[07:09 - 07:13]
commissioned by the Finnish Broadcasting Company and we will hear its first performance
[07:13 - 07:18]
recorded in the hall of nights in Helsinki. Bentley I'm going to
