KAIJA SAARIAHO

1952 – 2023

It is with sadness that I learnt of the death of Kaija Saariaho. There are others more eloquent and knowledgeable than me, who have written obituaries to match her importance in the pantheon of composers.

All I can say is that personally, her music was one of the first where I discovered the beauty of the natural world encapsulated in sound and composition, using both orchestral and electronic instruments.

As my blackbird sings in the garden this morning, somehow, I hear a connection between his song and her songs.
