The Saxophone Concerto Saivo paints a musical portrait of a saxophonist of a new kind. The word saivo originates from the ancient Sami beliefs meaning a two-bottomed lake, where under a lake dwells another lake and another world which is inhabited by otherworldly creatures - a world that is the exact mirror image of our world. The saxophone concerto builds sonorous timbral bridgesbetween the effected soprano saxophone and the orchestra, and grows eventually into an illusion of another reality which is similar,yet in a peculiar way different than the world we know. The work was commissioned by Tapiola Sinfonietta and it is dedicated to the saxophonist Jukka Perko. Premiere Nov. 17, 2017 - Tapiolasali, Espoo, Finland Tapiola Sinfonietta, cond. Anna-Maria Helsing Jukka Perko, Soprano Saxophone and effects Solo sax. part: WH33005C Parts are available on hire: hire@ewh.dk.

Siimes for Wind Quintet by Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen (2017). Program notes: Siimes is my second wind quintet and is based on the saxophone concerto Saivo. The title of the work suggests an allegorical hiding place deep in the forest, from where one can easily observe the surrounding reality. The first movement flows and swirls like divingunder water, at times changing direction and always bubbling merrily. The second movements ethereal shimmering culminates into the last movements mighty chord pillars that pile up on one another like an ash cloud. Siimes is dedicated to Auriga Wind Quintet's flautist Heli Haapala, who commissioned the work with the support of the Sibelius Foundation. Parts are available: WH32984A.
