Work & Edition Details
Sonata da chiesa III was commissioned by Petteri Pitko, who played the first performance in Kemiönsaaren Musiikkijuhlat in the summer of 2016. The sonata has three movements, each of which has a definite liturgical character and a choral tune as a cantus firmus. Hence the music can be performed either in a concert or as a part of liturgy. From the composer's foreword: "The first movement, Kyrie, has got an introvert mood. The choral melody is veiled, an indirect part of arpeggiated texture. The Gloria is open, even brilliant: the cantus firmus is worked out to a virtuosic, dance-like texture. The third movement closes the music by means of polyphony and bird singing. Concerning the harpsichord, for me it is essential not to use equal temperament: the possibility to play with pure or almost pure intervals is crucial to the sound, having very high and strong overtones."
