Ida Moberg (1859-1947) was the first widely educated female Finnish composer. Born in Helsinki she grew up in a musical family and studied singing and piano at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Later the studies continued: composing and singing at the Helsinki Orchestra School, composing at the Royal Musical Academy in Dresden, improvisation in Berlin and pedagogue in Hellerau. Stillhet (Swedish for Silence), a short cradle song for string orchestra is extracted from her unfinished opera Asiens ljus (The Light of Asia), based on a text by Viktor Rydberg about Buddhism. Stillhet is also suitable for pupil orchestra (duration c. 2,5 minutes).
