Aino (Kajanus)
''Aino'' (sometimes referred to as the ''Aino Symphony'') is a single- movement symphonic poem for male choir and orchestra written in 1885 by the Finnish conductor and composer Robert Kajanus. The piece tells the tragic story of the eponymous heroine from the '' Kalevala'', although the Finnish-language text—''Ring, Kantele, Ring!'' ()—sung by the male choir at the end of the symphonic poem is not from the literary epic but rather is by an anonymous author. ''Aino'' premiered on 28 February 1885 at a concert celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the ''Kalevala''. Kajanus's ''Aino'' also retains a degree of historical significance as a catalyst for Jean Sibelius: after hearing the symphonic poem in 1890, he was inspired to attempt his own ''Kalevala''-themed composition, a process that would result two years later in the symphonic work '' Kullervo'' (Op. 7; 1892). History The ''Kalevala'' is a collection of folk poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot in 1835 (t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
