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.
“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.
1965), elected member of
the Föreningen svenska
tonsättare (the
Society of Swedish
Composers), graduated
from the Royal College of
Music, Stockholm (KHM)
with an MFA degree in
Music Education, Dalcroze
Eurhythmics and Voice.
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
Bolandgymnasiet and
Musikskolan in his home
town of Uppsala.
This
festive call to praise
affirms the voice of
worship and invites the
world to sing along.
Solid writing permeates
the piece, giving choirs
much to work with as they
seek a full confident
sound. The inclusion of
the beloved tune LANDAS
with the text of How Can
I Keep from Singing is a
moving moment, making
this an excellent choice
for choirs returning to
the loft.
