Kaija Saariaho?s Lonh scored for Soprano Voice and Electronics was commissioned by the Wien Modern Festival and premiered on the 20th October 1996. The title?Lonh meaning far away or distant is derived from the old Provençal language in which this piece is performed. The text itself a poem about distant love popular among the medieval scholars and poets is attributed to the medievaltroubadour Jaufré Rudel. Formally the piece loosely follows the form of the poem and is thus divided into nine sections. Some of the symmetrical and repeating aspects are found in the solo soprano part which as suchuses rather freely the elements for the original text so that the resulting text is rather a collage based on Rudel?s song. The necessary electronic materials can be downloaded from this page and can be run with a Max patch that includes infinite reverberation general reverberation and plays pre-recorded sound files. Cues in the scoremust be triggered by the Soprano with a sustain pedal (or by another musician at the mixing desk). For general technical notes see this page .

Gates is the second section from the ballet MAA scored for Chamber group tape and live electronics. Written in 1991 commissioned by the Finnish National Opera this work beautifully demonstrates the poeticism of Saariaho's music with a sensuous calm that permeates throughout. MAA translates from Finnish into world earth or country. It is a complimentary title as the ballet does not have a plot as such rather it is built around thematic archetypes such as doors gates stepping into new worlds journeys and the crossing of waters. Gates can be played either as an acoustic or often preferably an amplified version. The acousticversion is suitable for small and resonant halls or in a context of e.g. an early music program in which case the piece can also be played on original instruments. This is the Full Score for one of Kaija Saariaho's most major works to date. The set of Parts is available: KP00327.
