This book is the first comprehensive study of the music and career
of contemporary composer Kaija Saariaho. Born in Finland in 1952,
Saariaho received her early musical training at the Sibelius
Academy, where her close circle included composer and conductor
Esa-Pekka Salonen. She has since become internationally known and
recognized for her operas L'amour de loin and Adriana Mater and
other works that involve electronic music. Her influences include
the spectral analysis of timbre, especially string sounds,
micropolyphonic techniques, the visual and literary arts, and
sounds in the natural world. Pirkko Moisala approaches the unique
characteristics of Saariaho's music through composition sketches,
scores, critical reviews, and interviews with the composer and her
trusted musicians. Drawing extensively from this material, Moisala
describes the development of Saariaho's career and international
reception, the characteristics of her musical expression, and the
progression of her compositional process.
