Yup.
The full name of the composer Osmo Tapio Räihälä is actually Osmo Tapio Everton Räihälä. (You can check his passport if you wish….)
The first composition on this CD, “Barlinnie 9”, is written for Everton’s Duncan Ferguson.

He was actually a qualified football referee.
And of course the Dutch composer Mr. Robert Zuidam!
I have seen a newspaper photo of Shostakovich at a West Ham match during one of his permitted visits ti the UK. I believe he was an avid supporter of the club. He would have been pleased about their recent form.
Earlier this year I played a composition from Mexican composer Enrico Chapela called “Inguesu!”, which depicts the final match of de FIFA Confederation Cup 1999, when Mexico won over Brasil.
Interesting piece, even for me who usually doesn’t like contemporary music that much…
That’s easy:
Vivaldi
Schütz
Mozart
Stamitz
Glinka

Apropos, I also believe that Kalevi Aho wrote a hymn for FC Lahti.
A rare photograph of Shostakovich smiling. I daresay, the only one!
