The Oceanides
''The Oceanides'' (Finnish title: ', sometimes translated to English as ''Nymphs of the Waves'' or ''Spirits of the Waves''; original working title ''フランス語:Rondeau ドイツ語:der Wellen''; in English, ''Rondo of the Waves''), Op. 73, is a single-movement tone poem for orchestra written in 1913–14 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The piece, which refers to the nymphs in Greek mythology who inhabited the Mediterranean Sea, premiered on 4 June 1914 at the Norfolk Music Festival in Connecticut with Sibelius himself conducting. The tone poem (in D major), praised upon its premiere as "the finest evocation of the sea ... ever ... produced in music", consists of two subjects Sibelius gradually develops in three informal stages: first, a placid ocean; second, a gathering storm; and third, a thunderous wave-crash climax. As the tempest subsides, a final chord sounds, symbolizing the mighty power and limitless expanse of the sea.
Aside from the definitive D major tone poem, two intermediate versions of ''The Oceanides'' survive: the first, a three-movement orchestral suite that dates to 1913 (movement No. 1 lost); and the second, the initial single-movement 'Yale' version of the tone poem (in D-flat major), which Sibelius dispatched to America in advance of his journey but revised prior to the music festival. ''The Oceanides'' thus stands alongside ', the ', the Violin Concerto, and the Fifth Symphony as one of Sibelius' most overhauled works. The suite and Yale version, never performed in the composer's lifetime, received their world premieres by Osmo Vänskä and the Lahti Symphony Orchestra on 10 September and 24 October 2002, respectively. A typical performance of the final version lasts about 10 minutes, some 3 minutes longer than its Yale predecessor.
