Minä rakastan sinua (I love you) / Children in Field, 2011.
I have always been interested in employing texts in other languages for both their visual and auditory difference. I recall Schwitters performing Ursonate and An Anna Blume. The following link will enanle you to listen to Schwitters perform Ursonate and also to examine the score; yes there is a score. http://www.ubu.com/sound/schwitters.html
In the Song of Solomon series, which no longer exists, Latin text was sometimes used instead of English. My interest in written and spoken Latin can be traced back to my experience as an altar boy in the 1960s when everyday Mass was celebrated in Latin.
