If you have come from the Central Europe Review website after reading Mortensen's article about Estonian music, you may be interested in RunoTrio for flute/bass flute, violin and guitar. It was inspired by the folk melodies of Estonia and Finland known as runosongs which the composer discovered after contact with the music of Veljo Tormis. You can read about the piece here.
