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 acoustic
version 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 set of
parts for one of Kaija
Saariaho's most major
works to date. Score is
avilable: KP00326.
