A song cycle for baritone voice, string quartet and piano. The composer writes: "Naarasaiti (The Lustful Mother) is about becoming a mother, an experience in which sexuality combines in a natural way with the birth of a new life. The texts of the cycle are from the collections of poems Aiteja, tyttaria (Arbeeadni, The Time of the Lustful Mother, 2013) and Kylma kumppani (Galbma radna, My Cold Companion, 1999) by two contemporary Sami poets, Rauni Magga Lukkari and Rose-Marie Huuva. The poems' primitive, matriarchal beat is present throughout in the music: a dark, earthy solo viola accompanies the baritone while the sizzling, sparkling strings erupt at times in powerfultextures".
