Composed by Einojuhani Rautavaara. Score. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.042-08725-1).
ISBN 979-0-042-08725-1.
Rautavaara's international breakthrough came with his seventh symphony (1994), subtitled Angel of Light. It is is a 38-minute work in three movements, composed in 1994 and premiered in Bloomington in 1995. Despite its name the work has no 'programme'. It is absolute music by a composer who has experienced powerful archetypal associations - so powerful that a pair of words provide the impetus for composition. This work is an example of Rautavaara's Neo-Romantic late period with broad, soaring melodies and sonorities that are soft and rich yet tiged with autumnal nostalgia.
