January: "Bells of the New Year"

 

The [E-B-E] chord is sustained in the bass, like a basso continuo. In the middle voice, chords composed of octaves—[E-B-B], [F#-C#-F#], and [B-E-F#-B]—are depicted in an ostinato. The upper voice is depicted with powerful and brilliant chords, utilizing the sparkle of the high register, a characteristic feature of Palmgren's music. Joyful bell sounds ring out, celebrating the arrival of the New Year. It reaches its climax in measure 11 and gradually descends. With the D natural appearing in measure 13, a hint of unease is introduced, and the music transitions into a gentle world. It descends into the low register, showing calmness and exuding a peaceful demeanor, before reconnecting with intervals of a fifth and concluding in silence.
