Alex Freeman
Alex Freeman is probably most known as one of the foremost composers of choral music in Finland. His broad output of choral music has been described as music aiming to be sonorous, melodic and resonant, but “crafted to carefully avoid the clichesthat can burden conventional tonality”.
Besides choral music from smaller pieces to a requiem, he has also composed music for solo piano, chamber music, as well as a choral symphony.
