April 9th Tungol night was successfully premiered with Alto Anna Larsson, maestro Nagano and beautiful Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. Mmm. See link (in Swedish).
Autumn 2012, I was asked by GSO direction and first guest conductor Kent Nagano if I would like to make an orchestral suite from three songs by Wilhelm Stenhammar. YES! I yelled. This has been a truly wonderful composing period of time, since I chose the songs, with ”Nattyxne” as the central song (words by E.A. Karlfeldt). The other songs presented are ”Vandraren” (Wilhelm Ekelund) and ”Månsken” (Bo Bergman). The suite has a duration of approx. 17,5 minutes.
Listen in three parts (chronological)
1 – the wanderer
2 – butterfly orchid
3 – moonshine
(2012)
suite for alto and orchestra
