ESTONIAN SYMPHONIC MUSIC. THE FIRST CENTURY 1896-1996.
though there are some influences from the Concerto for Orchestra by Bartók. Here, we
hear masculinity, vigour (the first movement) along with beautiful, softly coloured
lyrics and reflecting on the past (an ancient Setu folk tune, the third movement), a
fighting spirit erupts in the Finale.
The work consists of four movements; in the instrumental score there are two
saxophones added and the body of percussion instruments is large: there is a xylophone,
bells, wood blocks, bongos, a tam-tam and a tom-tom.
The first movement is a Sonata Allegro with an Introduction. The introductory
oratorio theme from the trombones has a kinship with the main theme in Dorian mode:
Example 147.
After a short development, the subsidiary theme appears, first in the
recapitulation as a distant echo:
Example 148.
The second movement appears like a dark-spirited dancing scene, the theme is
given to two bassoons
