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 (the ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pop Music
Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. The terms ''popular music'' and ''pop music'' are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many disparate styles. During the 1950s and 1960s, pop music encompassed rock and roll and the youth-oriented styles it influenced. ''Rock'' and ''pop'' music remained roughly synonymous until the late 1960s, after which ''pop'' became associated with music that was more commercial, ephemeral, and accessible. Although much of the music that appears on record charts is considered to be pop music, the genre is distinguished from chart music. Identifying factors usually include repeated choruses and hooks, short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), and rhythms or tempos that can be easily danced to. Much pop music also borrows elements from other styles ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Harps can be made and played in various ways, standing or sitting, and in orchestras or concerts. Its most common form is triangular in shape and made of wood.
