Historical Dictionary of the Music and Musicians of Finland
Barbara B. Hong,Barbara Blanchard Hong
This work is a window on the panorama of Finnish music. The 500-plus entries present historical and modern composers, the accomplishments of internationally acclaimed performing artists, as well as more general articles on folk music, early manuscripts and publications, cantors and hymnals, early Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Lutheran music, leading orchestras and choral groups, and festivals. In addition to the entries, chronologies of Finnish history and Finnish music, as well as a map of Finland, correlate history and locations with the entries. The dictionary describes forms and styles of compositions, operatic roles performed, the content of scholarly work, and significant and unusual events in the lives of the musicians.
