The music on this CD is chosen from an extensive commission for big band, Lena and Karin and was performed in autumn of 2018; the commissioned music originally lasting for two complete concert sets. The title was then Svenska hus ensligt belägna, after a poem by Tomas Tranströmer. It can possibly be translated to Swedish Houses, Solely Located. In different ways, this theme of seclusion inspired me. To compose and arrange for Lena and her magnificent expressivity, for the Japanese ancient Koto played so wonderfully by Karin, and trying to embrace their artistry and my own way of hearing music into the big band context, was an inspiring challenge.
To Lena and Karin, to the fantastic soloists of the orchestra, to all its devoted musicians, to Lars who recorded us and to the commissioners: Thank you!
