The Habit of Foreign Sky<\/strong><\/p>\n About the music<\/strong><\/p>\n Track 1, \u201cBedford Row\u201d: Observations<\/strong><\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n My project for my Master of Music degree at the Sibelius Academy\u2019s Department of Folk Music was a CD entitled \u201cThe Habit of a Foreign Sky\u201d. The following pages encompass the written element of that project. It is an analysis of what motivated me, in terms of music and musical influences, to produce the body of work on my CD.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Habit of a Foreign Sky\u201d is comprised of thirteen tracks, mainly consisting of my original compositions and traditional folk music from Ireland and Finland. My goal in presenting this combination of music was to demonstrate where my training as a student at the Sibelius Academy has taken me. The work that I have done was very much influenced by the musicians with whom I have worked in Finland. Additionally, several of my compositions have roots that pre-date my time studying in Helsinki however those compositions, such as \u201cIt was Early\u201d and \u201cBeneath a Balcony\u201d, were largely shaped by my work at the Sibelius Academy: one could say that being here strengthened my musicianship and contributed to giving these compositions their final shape.<\/p>\n In this paper I have tried to articulate and explore the musical process behind \u201cThe Habit of a Foreign Sky\u201d with words.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Projektity\u00f6
