Symphony No. 2. Einar Englund.

Original

Symphony No. 2 composed by Einar Englund. 1916-1999. For orchestra. Score. Published by Fennica Gehrman. FG.042-07944-7. ISBN 979-0-042-07944-7. Written in 1948, the "Blackbird" Symphony was one of the weightiest contributions to Finnish symphonic literature by the country's foremost neo-classicist. It is a three-part work with a sonata-form first movement, a lyrical andante and a finale in which themes are drawn in from earlier movements. The subtitle "Blackbird" can be construed as a reference to the woodwind accompaniments in the first movement.
