Based on the
well-known bible text
“Sing unto the Lord
a new song†(Psalm
96:1-3), this upbeat
composition with strong
dynamics and flowing
block chords alternating
with fast-paced polyphony
brings across this joyful
message and enthuses
singers.
Originall
y conceived for male
choir, women’s
voices have now been
added so that this
version for mixed choir
presents a further
dimension of colour. This
version also makes it
possible to divide the
choir into two groups,
one for women and another
for men, and to have them
sing either together or
as separate units.
The version for mixed
choir was premiered in
Uppsala Cathedral
(Sweden) on 26 October
2013, with the Uppsala
Cathedral Singers
conducted by Ulric
Andersson.
“
My music is my own and I
have never tried to be
original. That has always
been my motto and I have
only tried to use music
to express all the
feelings which life has
to offer. This has led
people to describe my
music as ‘so sad
that it sounds like birds
who have lost their
wings‘ but also as
‘the happiest
classical music that we
have ever
heard’. My
compositions are almost
all sacred. They express
not only my own faith but
also my appreciation and
respect for the timeless
texts that have been used
for centuries and
centuries.â€
MÃ¥rten Jansson (b.

with an MFA degree in

For more than ten years
he was the music director
and conductor of
“Carmenâ€, one
of the most prominent
womens’ vocal
ensembles in Sweden. He
currently teaches choral
conducting and music
theory as well as giving
vocal tuition at the

Love
Abide encapsulates
the very contemporary
ethos of multicultural
spiritual devotion in a
world populated by a rich
diversity of faiths--all
feeling, as deeply and as
aesthetically, the
compelling potency of
music with love.
A rich offering
on a theme of interfaith
connectivity. The
Japanese lullaby-inspired
Zen Love Song and the
title work Love Abide are
totally
absorbing.

With its
outspoken positive
approach, Love Abide is
like a musical bouquet of
healing herbs. Roxana
Panufnuik's beautifully
crafted music is
inventive and truly
enjoyable. The Colla Voce
Singers produce singing
of exceptional quality,
with impressive control
and a very good balance.

If I had to
choose a
'glass-half-full'
contemporary composer,
then Roxanna Panufnik
would be near the top of
my list. Her Music exudes
openness and inclusivity,
and it is in the choral
settings where hope and
positivity - two words
that lie at the heart of
her work - are most
keenly felt. ... much of
her recent work can be
seen to be built on the
solid foundations laid
down on this impressively
varied and diverse
collection. A music of
hope in dark and troubled
times.
