Žibuokl? Martinaityt?'s Sielunmaisema (2019) for cello and string orchestra contemplates the cycle of the year in its movements, which are named Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Sielunmaisema translated from Finnish means a “soul-landscape, a particular place that a person carries deep in the heart and returns to often in memory.” It can be described as a landscape that “hits you in the center of your chest, the one you that immediately feels like home.” The composer tells: "Soul-landscape is related to questions of identity and place which resonate with two parallel cultural identities that I carry within - my native Lithuanian and later acquired American. My physical home keeps changing and the only thing that remains is music. In this case, the piece itself becomes an ideal soul-landscape reflecting a native environment as seen through the prism of four seasons." This product includes the solo cello part and the study score (A4 sized). Duration: 32-34' Orchestration (minimum): 6 Violins I 6 Violins II 4 Violas 4 Violoncellos 1 Double bass The performance material is available for hire from the publisher.
