THE WORLD LOVES MOOMIN
The Moomintrolls have conquered millions of hearts around the world ever since Finnish author and artist Tove Jansson (1914-2001) released her first Moomin children''s book in 1945.
Find out why so many prefer these peaceful and thoughtful stories to the violent cartoons.
THE MOOMINTROLLS AND MOOMIN VALLEY
Moomintroll is a kind little creature, who lives with his father Moominpappa and mother Moominmamma in the Valley of the Moomins. Moomintrolls have become a huge success with their individualistic characters, sophisticated humor, and deep sense of freedom. Although Jansson''s works have gained worldwide popularity among children, the Moomintrolls are also much appreciated by adults due to a universal message, which can be felt on numerous levels and depths.
In the Moomin stories, Tove Jansson achieved a perfect balance between text and illustrations. Songs by Erna Tauro and lyrics by Jansson became the core for Moomin music in the 1950''s and 60''s on the theater stage.
When Tove Jansson passed away in June 2001, composer and pianist Mika Pohjola devoted one year on studies in the nearly forgotten songbook, and produced Moomin Voices in early 2003.
Moomin Voices is the first recording of the entire Moomin songbook. These classic and some previously unreleased songs by Tove Jansson feature new arrangements performed by vocals, strings, flutes, recorder, piano, vibes, bass and percussion.
"The deep meaning under Tove Jansson''s children''s stories, which unites families from the baby to the grandmother to love the Moomintrolls, is a true treasure in this world. This aesthetics was the core for my work on Moomin Voices as the music director and arranger," Pohjola comments.
Moomin Voices is an Enhanced CD containing over 68 minutes of music and a CD-Rom which includes sheetmusic, pictures, bios, weblinks and more. Packaged in quality cardboard "Digipak", there''s no breaking plastic jewel box to worry about.
Moomin Voices is dedicated in memory of the genius painter and novelist, Tove Jansson (1914-2001).
