by Ben Serna-Grey- American composer
I. An Old Man Hunts His Prey
II. Where The Cliffs Are Stained With Blood
III. Haunted

Another chapter in the song cycle based off of the Kalevala, Finland's national epic, this one tells the story of Aino, who is promised to Vainamoinen in marriage. Aino's dislike of this arrangement is so strong that she commits suicide and becomes a salmon, forever haunting the old man. It utilizes several extended techniques such as strummed and bowed piano and pitch bends to tell its story.
