The Cirrus clouds, the feathery clouds in the blue sky, are of frosty, delicate elegance. Tapio Nevanlinna, a master of the finest compositional art in Finnish contemporary music, was inspired by them. Composer Jennah Vainio, on the other hand, drew inspiration for her comet from the scoring of Olivier Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps. Her music loves soft, warm and elegiac tones.
