‘Every town our home town’
View through CrossRef
I am a Finnish classically trained composer who has extensive experience of working with musicians from diverse backgrounds. In this chapter I examine some of the possibilities and challenges that arise in this kind of work. The discussion focuses on composing for a symphony orchestra and incorporating musical ideas from my exploration of Carnatic classical music. The discussion is illustrated with reference to the compositional processes for a specific musical project: Yaadum uuree (‘Every town our home town’). This work featured the singer Bombay Jayashri Ramnath, one of the leading Carnatic performers, and it was premiered in a concert given by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra in 2013.
