Alfvén was an accomplished writer and painter as well as
musician and composer. Born in Stockholm in 1872, he studied
first at Kungliga Musikhögskolan (the Royal College of Music)
and then in Berlin, Dresden, Paris, and Brussels. Influenced by
Wagner and Richard Strauss, Alfvén’s style is also permeated
with the influence of Swedish folk music. Festspel (Festival Play)
was ommissioned to inaugurate the new art nouveau building
for Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern (the Royal Dramatic Theatre) in
Stockholm, in 1908. The work is suitably rousing and celebratory
for such an occasion. Alfvén was asked in 1932 to write
incidental music for a play by Ludvig Nordström, to
commemorate the 300-year anniversary of the death of the
protestant Swedish monarch at the battle of Lützen, at the end
of the Thirty Years War. The suite that he subsequently
extracted is a substantial work in its own right. Cantus arcticus is
perhaps Rautavaara’s best-known work, and was commissioned
by the University of Oulu, in northern Finland, to honour its first
formal doctoral graduation ceremony, in 1972. Rautavaara
instead took his inspiration from the natural environment of the
region, incorporating two-channel tape recordings of birdsong
as part of the orchestral texture.
