Väinämöinen

A chorale in three parts, this work takes the second story of the Kalevala and sets it to a cappella choir. The text was way too long for an 8 minute work, so with the help of my Finnish grandmother I excerpted the text. Since the text is in Finnish, each rehearsal mark indicates in English what’s happening in the story and what the character of singing should be.
