"Dedicated to all my Dead Ones, those whose memory and strength still lingers on this side of the border." -Aulis Sallinen.

The vocal score to Sallinen's 1995 work, 'Songs of Life and Death' (Elaman ja Kuoleman Lauluja), written to requiem poems by Lassi Nummi for for baritone or mezzosoprano, mixed chorus and orchestra, Op. 69 (1993-1994). Piano reduction by J. Blood.
This is one of Sallinen's key concert works, a most moving setting of poems by Lassi Numi, which can be sung in the original Finnish or in the excellent English singing translation by Marja and Philip Binham.
