Sami use the terms vuollie and vuolle. The northern Sami use the terms luohti

literature as a general term to indicate both the song and the singing.
Joikwas often associated with shamanism, the earliest description of

not mean anything; it is used "to fly into a song" (ibid.). Edstrom refers to
melody as a fundamentally significant element of joik throughwhich, accord
ing to Sami concepts, the joiker can express an opinion on the qualities of
the object of the joik (for example, a person), one's feelings for the object of
the joik, and memories of the object that isbeing joiked (Edstrom 1985:161).
The Swedish joik collector Karl Tiren, who recorded around 700 joiks and
transcribed over 500 of them, describes joiking something by referring to
the concept of leitmotif in theWagnerian tradition. Joik becomes an example
of tonmalerei (tone painting) (Tiren 1942). But tonmalerei ismerely evoca

Introducing
the Protagonist
Nils-Aslak Valkeapaa, the Sami composer, writer, visual artist, and activist
who became such an influential and important figure in the Sami indigenous
movement from the 1970s onwards, is an ideal protagonist in exploring acous
temology and indigenous politics in the symphonic tradition.He was born in
Enontekio, innorthern Finland, and lived inboth Finland and Norway, crossing
the nation-state borders that divide Sapmi. He was active in theWorld Council
of Indigenous Peoples, composed music for the filmOfelas (Pathfinder,directed
by Nils Gaup, 1987), and received several awards for his work. He is now an
iconic figure in the Sami artistic and political world. As Gaski observed in a

Norwegian composer Ole Olsen (Graff 1997:36). Einar Englund used joiks in
the soundtrack to an award winning film at Cannes, Valkoinen Peura (The
White Reindeer, 1952). The joik has also featured in choral works, including
(1975) by Erik Bergman.

of joiks fromVarangerbotn, Norway, see Figure 1); and Armas Otto Vaisanen.
InNils-Aslak Valkeapaa's symphonic work, the joik is introduced as an aspect
of symphonic thought but he also used the genre of symphony to throw no
tions of creativity, authorship, and form into question. The two symphonies
discussed below present rather different approaches to the incorporation and
treatment of joik. They also present different kinds of responses to political
concerns during this period.
"Reshaped
in my
soul":
The Joik
Symphony
In 1973, Nils-Aslak Valkeapaa had invited the folk revivalists and jazz
musicians, Seppo Paakkunainen,Ilpo Saastamoinen, and Esko Rosnell to go to
Adja Johki. In this northern Finnish location they experimented with adding
instrumental accompaniment
(of flute, acoustic guitar, and bongo) to joiks.
In 1980, having listened to Dvorak's Ninth Symphony, inwhich the com
poser had drawn upon the spirituals ofAfrican-Americans, Valkeapaa asked
Paakkunainen (b. 1943) ifhe would compose something similar based on
Sami joiks. His request tapped into the expressive politics ofminorities and
strengthened a musical collaboration that had begun in 1971 and that had
hitherto resulted invarious jazz-joik experiments (e.g.,Valkeapaa 1998). The
resulting symphony (the second version ofwhich was completed in 1989),
(Joik symphony) is scored for a symphony orchestra,

phone and his Finnish folk revival group, Karelia, play the improvising in
strumental parts. Paakkunainen aims to "transfer on to paper what he has
discovered through improvisation" (cited inMuikku 1989:47), a stance that
reveals composition as a process that is generated through performance.
Paakkunainen's discourse alerts us that composer-performer distinctions are
not wholly appropriate in analyzing theJoik Symphony This is a point that
is also relevant to the Bird Symphony. These are works that are based on
overlapping complexes of environmental acoustic phenomena, improvisa
tion, and formal structural organization, realized through unpredictable sonic
utterances inwhich not only the roles of composer and performer merge
but inwhich human sonic production is situated within specific acoustic
soundscapes. The works are only realized in performance.
Moreover, in traditional joik performance the notion of composer is not
prominent. Graff notes that listeners do not usually ask "who is the com
poser?" They are more likely to ask "To whom belongs the joik?" In his
fieldwork on the surviving 18 joiks of a coastal Sami community, he received
different responses about the composer of each joik. Often, commentators
guessed that the person joiked (the object of the joik) might have been the
composer, but in his sample none of the joiks had actually been composed
by that referenced (joiked) person. Only in three or four of those joiks did
Graff have reason to believe that the composer was known, though it seemed
likely that in general people having a relation to the person referenced in a
and p.c, 28 January
joikwere the most likely authors (Graff 2004:182-83,
2OO8,Troms0, Norway).
Seppo Paakkunainen noted that theJoik Symphony was composed "hand
in hand" with Valkeapaa, with whom he stayed in Pattikka during part of the
compositional process, discussing how and where to use joiks in the sym
phony. In the formal processes of identifying a composer, a contract for the
performing right royalties stipulates both musicians as composers, though

of the late 1970s. By the beginning of the twenty-firstcentury, joik had been
transformed into amajor symbol in the Sami indigenous political movement. It
also features inmusical experimentation projects, including ones that are not
specified as Sami projects, particularly in choirs where singers are encouraged
to explore various vocal techniques. A choir performing Stories from the

regard to the Bird Symphony. Yet, Iwould suggest that this symphony is not
an indigenous appropriation of aWestern art music form. Rather, a "sonic
sensibility" is revealed, leading listeners to an "experiential truth,"to return
to Feld's formulation of acoustemology (1994). But the experiental truths
in the Bird Symphony are not wrapped up only in relation to symphonic
and object; the joiker and the joiked can be considered an integral part of
the joik (Somby 1995). While analysts have struggled with locating a steady
pulse and have used shifting time signatures in their joik transcriptions,many
Sami musicians think in terms of a pulse that is pervasive, consistent in its

to the diversity ofArctic life.Habitats disappear with oil and gas industries,

Concluding Thoughts
The second part of the poem quoted above leads me to some concluding
thoughts regarding environmental history, geological time, and Valkeapaa's
legacy. Pointing to the brevity of human existence, the joik is but a few mo
ments in themusical texture of the Bird Symphony In relation to geological
time, then, the human presence isfleeting. The reappearance of the joik singers
towards the end of thework once again gives way to birdsong, promoting a
specific perspective on the place of humans in the grand narrative of the earth.
