Irina Vavilova - Improvised Organ Sonata Based on Themes by Toivo Kuula, Oulu Cathedral

Performed at the Oulu Cathedral in April 2020 within concert series livestreamed by Virtuaalikirkko (). Heartfelt thanks to the Oulu Cathedral Parish, Revd Satu Saarinen and my colleagues, and the whole team of Virtuaalikirkko for making this project true and also for letting me use this video extract. Here’s the pieces that I have quoted and /or used as a source of inspiration: Introduction: Surumarssi [Funeral March], no.6 (and maybe some Sibelius ;) ) First subject: Omenapuut [Apple Trees], no.1 Transition / Coda: Sävel [A Melody] no.1 Second subject: Kun maan ja mantereen [When The Night Covers The Earth And The Mainland], no.3 Episode / Coda: Häämarssi [Wedding March] op. 3b no.2 Transition at the recapitulation: Auringon nousteessa [At The Sunrise], no.3 Please like and subscribe to my channel!
