Description:
The setting of the well-known psalm Sing unto the Lord a new song (Psalm 96, 1-3) uses strong dynamics and an alternation of flowing, block-like chords with faster polyphonic passages to interpret the text and at the same time fills the singers with joy.
The piece is originally written in the version for male choir. The addition of the female voices gives the movement additional color and also opens up the possibility of dividing the choir into a female and a male group and having them work either together or as separate units.
The version for mixed choir was performed for the first time on 26 October 2013 by the Uppsala Cathedral Singers under the direction of Ulric Andersson in Uppsala Cathedral.
I make my own music and have never tried to be original. According to this motto, I have tried to express all the feelings that make up life through my music. Some describe my music as 'as sad as birds that have lost their wings'. Others call it 'the happiest classical music we have ever heard'.
I have always been closer to melodious music than to atonal music, and that is certainly the reason why my music has a rather melancholy character. My works are almost exclusively spiritual. This is both an expression of my own faith and my appreciation of the timeless texts that have been set to music for centuries.
Mårten Jansson (*1965), a member of Föreningen svenska tonsättare (Society of Swedish Composers), graduated from the Royal College of Music (KHM) in Stockholm with an MFA degree in music education, Dalcroze rhythm and voice. He was the director of Carmen, one of Sweden's best-known female vocal ensembles, for over ten years. He currently teaches choir, music theory, conducting and singing at Boland High School and Music School in his hometown Uppsala.
