Kai Nieminen's Le Tombeau d'Albert Roussel (2020) for guitar utilises themes and harmonies from Roussel's ballet-pantomime Le Festin de l'Araignee (The Spider's Feast) op.17 written in 1912. Roussel's work depicts insect life in a garden alluding to human behaviour in a similar way to George Orwell's novel, Animal Farm. Nieminen's Le Tombeau d'Albert Roussel integrates themes from Roussel's Le Festin de l'Araignee with original material which together create a satisfying whole full of imagery, contrasts and colour.
