Finnish composers during the past 25 years both within Finland and
abroad.The author's study of Joonas Kokkonen is the first
full-scale account in English. Starting with a brief survey of
Finnish music during the 20th century, the book then devotes a
separate chapter to each of the major genres in which Kokkonen
composed: symphonic, orchestral, vocal, chamber and keyboard.
Illustrated with over a hundred music examples, The Music of Joonas
Kokkonen seeks to overturn his reputation in some quarters as a
conservative, even old fashioned, composer, and argues that
