Oriental Suite: Beni Mora Holst
9.30 to 10.15 Symphony No. 2 Leevi Madetoja
Beni Mora, an Oriental Suite for orchestra written in 1910, is founded on recollections of Arab music heard in Algeria, and consists of two dances and a finale. The work opens with a slow section intended to suggest the desert at night. In the music that follows we are to imagine a traveller drawing near to a village. He comes to the 'Street of the Ouled Nails,' a pleasure haunt in Biskra inhabited by Bedouin girls, where the ear is bewildered by the variety of strains pouring from the dancing-halls and cafes. As the traveller turns the corner, the noise quickly subsides and fades away into the silence of the night. Leevi Madetoja. the Finnish composer, lived from 1887 to 1947. He began by taking lessons from Jarnefelt and Sibelius, and then went to Paris to become a pupil of Vincent d'Indy. This was followed by periods of study in Vienna and Berlin. He led an active musical life. conducting, teaching, and writing criticisms as well as composing; and apart from Sibelius he is regarded as the most important figure in Finnish music. His works include three symphonies and two operas, one of which, Prhialaisia, had a great success. His second symphony, first performed in 1918. is dedicated to the memory of his mother. Its four movements follow each other without a break, except for a short pause between the second and the third. The general feeling of the music is warm and impassioned: and the final Andantino, which consists of only seventy bars, serves as a summing-up. (Harold Rutland)
