The Tapiola Children's Choir was founded as a school choir by Erkki Pohjola in 1963. It rapidly developed into one of Finland's leading choirs, touring Japan, Europe and the US and winning competitions. 'Sounds' is a rich, varied collection of 19 songs by outstanding Finnish composers such as Jean Sibelius ('Finlandia Hymn,' 'Song of My Heart,' 'The Snow is Falling'), Pekka Hannikainen ('Summer Twilight,' 'Sleep, my Child, Sleep'), Fredrik Pacius ('Song of Finland,' 'Our Country'), Aulis Sallinen ('The Winter Was Hard'), Toivo Kuula ('Evening'), Jukka Koskinen ('To Us a Festival is Given'), Michael Praetorius ('Let Us Chant') and others. Other favorites are Bach's 'A Son is Born in Bethlehem' and 'Let Me Praise Jesus,' Handel's 'Rejoice, Daughter of Sion' and the lively traditional folk tune 'Burro Matti, Lapin joiku.' Light accompaniment on two songs. A beautiful, ringing collection by one of our favorite children's choirs! |
