The great Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius, passed away on the 20th day in 1957 at the age of 91 in Finland. Widely known for his symphonic ouvres and tone poems, his uniquely stirring output seemingly draws inspiration from a primeval energy depicting creation. Rather than relying heavily on conventional themes and their development, he often generated entire movements from tiny musical fragments. His music can sound expansive and monumental while actually being constructed from very economical material. Sibelius’s career has an extraordinary arc. He went from being a national musical hero to an internationally celebrated symphonist and then, remarkably, essentially stopped publishing major compositions for the last three decades of his life. Indeed, his silence became almost as famous as his music. "If we understood the world, we would realize that there is a logic of harmony underlying its manifold apparent dissonances."
