This music is unlike anything I've ever heard, and made me feel something I've never felt and that I have no idea how to describe.
What a magical piece.
What an astonishing work this is. I have worked long hours and days on a large river estuary during the Winter, in a small canvas hide and entirely on my own, doing bird survey work for a research project. This music brings it all back, the light, the feel of the air, and the mysterious 'otherness' of so much wildlife, so many birds just doing what they do, going about their existence in this vast expanse of unforgiving wet and cold. I find something deeply moving in the thought that they have been doing this year after year, and living for thousands of years, long out of sight or thought of Man. For me, Rautavaara's music here captures that deep and mysterious quite energy of life and survival, both sad and impressive, and also utterly captivating. Thank you so much for putting this on RUclips.
Free Spirit 56 Very nicely put. I don't really bird watch myself but I enjoy the wilds and have camped above the Arctic Circle where it felt like this. I have had similar thoughts to these...
Free Spirit 56 best comment Ive ever read
A beautifully eloquent post, I truly admire what you have written. The music evokes exactly what you have described . For many years I would visit the West Coast of the Isle of Arran and hear many of the birds in the sound scape. I always find the call of the Curlew particularly beautiful.
They should play the tape of Messiaen's music.
yes, indeed...birds have meaningless "life".... just like homo sapiens sapiens and other species

I am glad that you have graced this planet from your sonic universe. I have suffered from crippling depression and anxiety and this music not only helps me but it cures me of fear and gives me something that cannot be explained. Simply amazing, a musical sound world where I can visit and be who I am. The world seems better to me because of this man 👀
Bonjour Philippe. Rather incredible music we have witnessed. I thought I'd reply and see how you are going since you posted your last comment. God bless.
How in the world have I not heard of Rautavaara?!?!?! This is so beautiful!
This is the most beautiful, amazing thing.
It's not often that I see a piece of music this long, click on it, and listen to the whole thing without stopping or skipping. But this music breathes and flows in such a way that it is impossible not to.
Rautavaara in my opinion is one of the best composers we have ever had on this earth, it is sad that he was not known to more people.
I gave this music to my father, a specialist in contemporary and classic music. The fact that I’m showing him something in an area in which he excels seemed astounding to me. He then obtained the CDs of this artist... a real father-son moment.
We’re not talking today. Maybe we’ll meet again one day.
You will meet again.
Wonderfully atmospheric ! I truly love this music
the bird sounds in the background are surreal
Very common voices here in Finland.
Think of autumn and of Tchaikovsky
Tchaikovsky? Cannons?
More like, Tchaikovsky Seasons and Ballets
DerSibbe Tchaikovsky didn’t wrote only the 1812 Overture, you know 😑🤦♂️
@@leocadieux6781 I do know that...
Bevg G That is my motto in life
This reminds me of Venus,Neptune and mercury; the softer movements from Holst’s Suite “The Planets”
Such an underrated composer. This is amazing music
Perhaps underrated in global scale, but not in Finland.
I think on every music post I've ever seen, there's always one to say "underrated", always :)
This is why Rautavaara is my favourite composer.
Having been above the Arctic Circle many times, it's amazing how well it fits the music. I've loved Rautavaara (particularly the later works, which this piece sort-of foreshadows) for most of my life, but the times I've spent up there really changed my perspective. The atmosphere, wonder, and above all the loneliness, especially the calm still of a treeless valley, with icey waters and bald mountains around - it's all here. Really incredible stuff. I know Rautavaara is sort-of getting there, but he rightfully earns his place as a 20th century master.
This is single handedly the best peice ever written. What a truly soul snatching work of beautiful art this is.
I always get intense chills between 4:09 and 4:45! Swept into an entire world parallel to our own, overtaking me with its incomprehensible complexity and grandeur.
My favourite Rautavaara work. I have never heard a piece more beautifully evocative of nature in the winter.
Edit: Watching this for like the sixth time as the last piece of music I'll hear in 2021, am in tears. This piece never stops being beautiful.
Edit 2: After about eight viewings, I finally noticed that the opening motif of Movements 1 and 3 are transcriptions of the swan calls heard in the opening of Movement 3. A beautiful detail.
Wow, this is really great! Sounds totally impressionistic.
*RIP* - Hieno mies, auttoi monta nuorta heidän musiikillisella urallaan. 🎵 🎶
Hey...ENOUGH already with the old Hungarian Finno-Ugarik expressions! Shuukran wAllah ySalmak, ya axi.....
I love this work. It makes me imagine I am in a magical place every time I listen to it
Einojuhani Rautavaara você esta de parabéns uma das composições mais incríveis que já vi na minha vida simplesmente belo suas composições!!!!
R.I.P. Einojuhani Rautavaara.
Stunning! A transmogrification of a temporal reality into a sonic eternality. Sonic alchemy at its best. Worthy of Ravel and Debussy. Thank you all... for sharing. CVD
What an exquisite musical masterpiece!
Thank you for uploading!
Rest in peace Maestro Rautavaara
Think of Autumn and Tchaikovsky. Such precise instructions.
Thought the same
What does that even mean tho... how does that mean anything?
@@bronktug2446 It means: think of autumn and of Tchaikovsky...
@@bronktug2446 From experience I can tell you this kind of instruction does change very small details on the way you play a piece. They're essentially asking you to get creative while staying true to the score.
@@bronktug2446 just like different musicians have different styles today, romantic composers like Tchaikovsky had different feels to them next to the other composers of the time. This particular composer is basically telling the conductor of the orchestra to mimic the feel of Tchaikovsky. *Edited for typo
É absolutamente lindo e surpreendente como Rautavaara consegue criar uma realidade tão mágica e perfeita, é como estar num mundo fantástico ou sonho em que só existe o belo e o perfeito. E no fim perceber que é a mesma realidade em que sempre estivera, a diferença está só no olhar para a vida e natureza.
Something totally new for me! It's so enjoyable music. Thank you!
WHAAAT!? I just discovered his music and he died last year?
What a shame :(
I feel so, too. What did I miss (and I’m a musicologist but maybe that’s the problem)!
@@patrickbecker4473 Many great symphonies (such as this) and piano works (such as his Concertos). Rautavaara has a very distinct style that I’m in love with. I only started listening to him ~2 years ago as well.
lmao i called this a symphony
So beautifull, thank you. So Ravel like also
This piece combines 2 things I love: Music and birds.
Messiaen would have loved this!
Bird Jesus
Considering that he lived for twenty years after the composition of it, he may well have heard it.
@@ilikeplayingffftonecluster851 i hate playing PPP tone clusters.
An amazing piece. I feel the chill of the Arctic when I listen to it
It remembers me a little bit of Ma mere l' oye of Ravel because the flute it's volatile and very poetical
Really a good master piece 👌🏻
Thank to this channel for sharing this beautiful piece !!!
You are right. I can also hear the mother goose of Ravel, now that you mention it.
So incredibly beautiful!
One of the finest works ever made by Einojuhani Rautavaara, alongside his 7th and his 1st Piano Concerto. When I first listened to this, my mind immediately went to all the camping trips I've been on, particularly ones where I was canoeing in the Minnesota wilderness, hearing the occasional loon. As the music progressed, so did my imagination. The 2nd movement reminded me of how lonely those trips were, only seeing signs of other people every other day if I was lucky. Paddling on the water solely focused on navigating to the next portage, deciding when I would stop for lunch, or briefly stopping to enjoy the scenery, only to continue moving forward. Then, in the 3rd movement, I imagined an encounter with hundreds, possibly thousands of birds crowded on an open lake. As I paddle forward, I am initially confused, but it quickly gives way to wonder and amazement at seeing so many birds crowded in one spot. The sudden crash of the cymbals then que the birds to take flight, and the sky is momentarily clouded with the sheer amount of birds. All that remain are a few stragglers, and one profoundly affected individual.
Don't forget his 3rd 👌
Surprisingly melodic. What a beautiful piece. It has a Hollywood film score quality to it in its vast scope.
ontroerend die combinatie muziek en vogelkeeltjes, zooo lieflijk!! Sylvia
Very imaginative one. Thank you for uploading this.
This is the best version!!. Very interesting atmospheric piece of music.
i lost this and i finally found it again!!
just fascinating. First time i heard this i bought the score
I like this guy, and just discovered him. Awesome piece
This is staggeringly beautiful.
Thank you for uploading so much amazing music with the score included!
Its not just Rautavaara's music that is beautiful. His scores are too!
Wow.
I can definitely see where modern film music took some inspiration, but this is so much better, in part because it’s the “original”. The polytonality with open-voiced slow-moving triads in the bass reminds me quite a bit of Koechlin; I LOVE the use of the tape recording throughout, too. The gently swarming masses of sound that it and other instruments create are just heavenly.
This is a very interesting score. Considering the date of composition, the modal expression may seem outdated. But what is important is the result, and it is absolutely convincing.
Sehr schön! R I P Rautavaara !
Inspired, and a very touching work.
So great to see this beautiful piece of art has 0 dislikes!
:(
DSCHMinecraft :( I see
7 dislikes now....you jinxed it
And 37 now.....
buhahhhaahhahah not anymore
Amazing how he reuses the sixteenth-note motif from the first movement in the third movement, but first a tritone up and then the inversion of the motif!
I love that I didn't notice that at all because of how tonally complex the melody is
his style and musical approach is very unique.
Absolument sublime !
This is absolutely phenomenal. Way ahead of its time!
What an amazing work this is. absolutley wonderful.
Beautifully made.
peaceful, simple, grandiose, great music
Amazing works, I've ever hear before, maestro of dissonances
This is like the luminous predecessor to Bjork's Utopia... I LIVE FOR IT
Thank you -- I always consider this to be a marvelous piece of treasure recovered from the wreckage of much 20th-century music.
Es hermoso, gracias por subirlo de nuevo :)
I remember playing this. It's a pain in the ass to rehearse, but it's quite majestic.
Amazing..!! ...thank you..!!
WOW! Unexpected and astonishing.
너무 좋음
here i am on the weird side of youtube again..
oh wait, this is actually the good side of youtube
Splendide, gracieux, noble...
I love this so much.
Birds are all around us notice them enjoy them - what a balance between consonance dissonance and technique and nature amazing thanks uploader- i was going thru a rough time and i looked out the window and said whatever God is there i need you now- a minute later 10 robins landed on my front yard then 20 then 30 just on my yard, went to the back yard 40 then 50- i counted 52 Robins - we are connected to nature and the universe . There is consciousness permeating everything and everywhere. The mechanistic universe is not true- all of it alive all of it a dance!
It takes man to make a group of birds landing on a field of grass to be about himself.
What a wonderful, evocative score. Takes you into another world. I wonder what Sibelius would have made of it whilst tossing his 8th Symphony into his stove?
thank you!
The pastoral section in the middle reminds me of Roy Harris, in particular his 6th (Gettysburg) Symphony.

Me too
Amazing
Bello!!!
Mooi!
Extraordinary
😇 ✨ Thanks 1000 🙏💫
Magical
Lovely
Great piece but the sharpness of the second horn was hard to hear
Masterpiece
The chord at 7:36 literally took me immediately to Skyrim. I'm pretty sure that exact chord is used somewhere.
Georges Gershwin
I love Finish music.
I suggest you to listen also to Gauthier Dufossez’improvisation in Finnish themes.
so decisive
My bf sent me this, THIS IS SO COOL😍👍🏾👍🏾
