Description: A centenary celebration of some of the smaller works of a dedicated teacher, critic and, in his spare time, a prolific composer. Fordell was born in Ostrobothnia in western Finland and spent most of his career there, which had an effect on his visibility as a composer as did his attachment to conservative compostional styles - as a glance at the titles above immediately indicates. These are all basically either nature-portraits or derived from folksong and would fit happily into the genre of light music.
