Jim continued his research of Nordic music and culture with a visit to Helsinki, Finland in March 2023, a trip that included several days of recording sessions at Kallio Church. The resulting single-disc Nordic Journey Volume XIV is subtitled The Organs of Kallio Church and employs the two contrasting instruments located in that historic sacred space.The first half of Jim’s program highlights the choir organ of the church, dating from 1987 and built by the Finnish Kangasala firm. Neo-classic in its tonal orientation, this organ was intended to play the masterworks of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. As such, Jim chose a set of twentieth and twenty-first century compositions that were influenced by the forms and styles of the past. This includes chorale-based works by Fridthjov Anderssen, Fin. Viderø, and Lasse Toft Eriksen. Compositions based upon Nordic folk melodies also appear in this first section with settings by Mats Backman, a composer from Åland, and a lovely interpretation of a Finnish folk theme by Jukka Kankainen, scored for flute and organ. The Helsinki-based musician, Katja Ceder, expertly provided the flute part. The set concludes with an extended suite by the twentieth-century German composer Hans Friedrich Micheelsen, Das Holsteinische Orgelbüchlein. This engaging collection of seven movements develops thematic ideas from the composer’s native Holstein, one of the most northerly provinces of Germany, and for many centuries was a part of Denmark.
