The Swan of Jim Bob Tuonela

 The Swan of Jim Bob Tuonela
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/14-05-23-The_Swan_of_Jim_Bob_T
uonela.jpg> 

Jim Bob Tuonela eked out a modest living as a ferryman, rowing travelers
across Lake Meptang, and always accompanied by his faithful pet swan,
Gloria. Among the passengers one day was Jean Sibelius who, at the time,
worked as a bicycle messenger - and not a very good one, it must be said,
because he often lost his lading. On that day, for example, Jean was short a
box of peepholes, six chocolate herrings, and a swan. So when he spotted
Gloria paddling contentedly by the side of the boat he figured he could at
least get part of his missing cargo back. As the boat neared the shore, Jean
threw his bicycle into the lake, successfully diverting Jim Bob's attention.
Then he jumped out of the boat, grabbed the swan, and ran off. He had quite
forgotten to collect the rest of his cargo from the boat, though, and, swan
or no swan, the courier company fired him. Years later, after having
embarked on a more successful tunesmithing career, Jean wrote a tone poem
that addressed his impetuous theft whose memory still haunted him: The Swan
of Jim Bob Tuonela. The bird, by the way, had been pregnant, and when she
gave birth to a boy chick, Jean promptly named him Gloria Swan's Son.

audience, so that the PASSIONE Quartet is frequently invited to perform at
important functions as well as concert halls and clubs. 

In 2008, OPUS AVANTRA banded together with the Quartet Passione and
premiered "Viaggio Imagginario", in Club Citta from Tokyo. In the same year
