Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara's choral "Cathedral" was inspired by poetry of Edith Sodergran. He writes of her "Reading her poems, one immediately appreciates that she, if anyone is a builder of cathedrals, and Gothic ones at that." Hear the piece rendered by the Finnish Radio Chamber Choir conducted by Eric-Olof Soderstrom in Wednesday's program at 11 a.m. on KUAF as well as 6 p.m. on KUAF-2.
