Barely had we reported the rapid response of Paul Hindemith to the death of King George V than a Finnish composer rushed to put notes on paper.

Leif Segerstam has dedicated his latest symphony to the memory of Prince Philip, ‘saluting  a royal soul’.

It’s for large orchestra and lasts 14 minutes.

This is Segerstam’s 344th symphony.
