for mixed choir

Commissioned by Dominante mixed choir and Seppo Murto. 

Poem was written by Milka Luhtaniemi

It goes so still is a commission from choir director Seppo Murto and Dominante for Dominante´s 50's anniversary concert at Helsinki Music Center in November 2025.

-This 10-minute piece for mixed choir was composed to a text by Milka Luhtaniemi, which she wrote for this work. The music moves from a more static mood towards two climaxes, which for me symbolize the endless passion of human beings to create art. At times the wind blows, but new buds continue to sprout from the soil.

It goes so still is dedicated to Seppo Murto and Dominante.

The work was written with the help of Teosto Commission Fund and Finnish Cultural Foundation.
