ESTONIAN SYMPHONIC MUSIC. THE FIRST CENTURY 1896-1996.
Students and Youth in Vienna two years later. Concerto for Orchestra (1960)1 is one of
his prominent works, strikingly individual, summoning up the features of his previous
development.
The instruments of a jazz unit have enriched the basic body of a symphony
orchestra: three saxophones replace bassoons; there are bongos, a cowbell, a
vibraphone, and a guitar.
The first movement is Allegro moderato e festante. It is in Sonata Allegro form,
the main theme sounding airy, active and brilliant:
Example 173.
This was just adequate to the intentions of Jürisalu for creating a compromise
between “serious” and the “light” music. The main theme is varied and re-coloured; an
essential transformation has not been the aim of the composer.
The Finale in Rondo Sonata form stands out. The main theme is peppery, frisky,
in good swing:
Example 174.
