Sateen jälkeen (After rain) is a two-movement vocal work for female quintet (SSSAA), based on the poems Kesäkuun sade and Heinäkuun aalloilla by Finnish poet Saima Harmaja (1913-1937).
The compositional style of Sateen jälkeen combines elements of impressionism and post-romanticism, both of which are evident in Harmaja’s texts. The text is sung in Finnish.
