Siimes for Wind Quintet by Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen (2017). Programme note: Siimes is my second wind quintet and is based on the saxophone concerto Saivo. The title of the work suggests an allegorical hiding place deep in the forest, from where one can easily observe the surrounding reality. The first movement flows and swirls like diving under water, at times changing direction and always bubbling merrily. The second movement's ethereal shimmering culminates into the last movement's mighty chord pillars that pile up on one another like an ash cloud. Siimes is dedicated to Auriga Wind Quintet's flautist Heli Haapala, who commissioned the work with the support of the SibeliusFoundation. Outi Tarkiainen. Parts are available: WH32984A

Programme note
Siimes is my second wind quintet and is based on the saxophone concerto Saivo. The title of the work suggests an allegorical hiding place deep in the forest, from where one can easily observe the surrounding reality. The first movement flows and swirls like diving under water, at times changing direction and always bubbling merrily. The second movement’s ethereal shimmering culminates into the last movement’s mighty chord pillars that pile up on one another like an ash cloud. Siimesis dedicated to Auriga Wind Quintet’s flautist Heli Haapala, who commissioned the work with the support of the Sibelius Foundation.
