It won him international attention while still a student. HistoryRautavaara composed the work in 1953, after his studies at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki from 1948 to 1952 with Aarre Merikanto.[1] His style during that period was neoclassical, with close ties to tradition.[2] The composition brought him international attention: it won him the Thor Johnson Brass Composition competition of 1954,[3] and it prompted Jean Sibelius in 1955 to recommend him for a scholarship at the Juilliard School in New York City.[1] MusicRautavaara structured the work in four movements:[3]
Two of the four Latin titles correspond to movements of the Requiem mass, to parts of the sequence Dies irae (Day of Wrath), its verses "Dies irae" and "Lacrymosa dies illa" (Tearful will be that day).[3] Rautavaara scored the work for 13 brass parts, timpani and percussion, and wrote the dedication "to the memory of my mother".[3] The first movement opens with a trombone fanfare accompanied by trumpets. The meter changes often. The second movement, Credo et dubito (Belief and doubt), begins with muted trumpet and muted horn, which play with a staccato motif of sixteenth. At times horns and low brass interrupt by playing a grave chorale. The third movement is sharply articulated. The last movement is the only slow movement with gentle music associated with Requiem (Rest).[3] The conductor Osmo Vänskä says: "It's a piece I've conducted many times. It has this kind of drama, but it's always speaking to the audience.".[9] A reviewer of the Australian premiere on 8 April 2011 at Sydney's Opera House noted that the work combines "conciseness and economy of utterance with an opulent and romantic sense of expression".[10] RecordingA Requiem in Our Time is the title of a 2000 recording of Rautavaara's complete works for brass, performed by the Finnish Brass Symphony conducted by Hannu Lintu.[11] A Requiem in Our Time is part of a 2003 recording of Rautavaara's works, performed by members of the Helsinki Philharmonic orchestra conducted by Jorma Panula. A reviewer noted that "virtuoso playing is required to achieve speed and pianissimo layering".References1. ^1 {{cite news| last = Cowan| first = Rob| url = http://www.gramophone.co.uk/review/rautavaara-a-requiem-in-our-time-cpte-works-for-brass| title = Rautavaara A Requiem in Our Time - Cpte Works for Brass| work = Gramophone| accessdate = 31 July 2016}} [1][2][3][4][5][6]2. ^1 {{cite web| last = Huizenga| first = Tom| url = https://www.npr.org/sections/deceptivecadence/2016/07/28/487824438/eclectic-finnish-composer-einojuhani-rautavaara-dies-at-87| title = Eclectic Finnish Composer Einojuhani Rautavaara Dies At 87| publisher = National Public Radio| date = 28 July 2016| accessdate = 7 August 2016}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news| last = Johnston| first = Blair| url = http://www.allmusic.com/composition/a-requiem-in-our-time-for-brass-op-3-mc0002371866| title = Einojuhani Rautavaara / A Requiem in our Time, for brass, Op. 3| publisher = AllMusic| accessdate = 31 July 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite web| last = McCallum| first = Peter| url = http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/sydney-symphony-20110411-1db0t.html| title = Sydney Symphony | publisher = The Sydney Morning Herald| date = 12 April 2011| accessdate = 7 August 2016}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news| last = Rickards| first = Guy| url = https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jul/28/einojuhani-rautavaara-obituary| title = Einojuhani Rautavaara obituary / Finnish composer noted for the birdsong of his Cantus Arcticus and his works featuring images of angels| work = The Guardian| date = 28 July 2016| accessdate = 31 July 2016}} 6. ^1 {{cite book| last1 = White| first1 = John David| last2 = Christensen| first2 = Jean| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=zyUOv6EQrWcC&pg=PA199| title = New Music of the Nordic Countries| year = 2002| publisher = Pendragon Press| isbn = 978-1-57647-019-0| pages = 197–203}} }}{{Einojuhani Rautavaara}}{{Authority control}}{{italic title}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Requiem In Our Time, A}} 5 : Compositions by Einojuhani Rautavaara|Compositions for brass band|Contemporary classical compositions|1953 compositions|Requiem Masses |
