Sebastian Fagerlund’s Chamber Symphony is a 26-minute work for chamber orchestra consisting of three movements which immediately follow each other. It begins with a slow movement interrupted twice by contrasting fast material before the melodic line becomes audible. A scherzo episode develops in the fast second movement. Its climax is followed by a slow third movement.

In this composition, Fagerlund is interested in a slow, almost imperceptible transformation, with the music beginning to grow out of stasis into new relationships between the fundamental materials — in the composer’s words, “like musical components floating and rearranging themselves in a new order.”

The work was premiered on 4 March 2022 in Espoo (Finland) by the Tapiola Sinfonietta conducted by John Storgrds.

This full score (EP 14583) is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance material can be hired.
