Fredrik
Sixten: When my dear
friend Patrik Runeke
became seriously ill and
died - only 37 years old
- feelings and thoughts
concering life and death
overwhelmed me. It was
natural for me to turn to
Bengt Pohjanen, with whom
I had collaborated
earlier, to ask him to
formulate: * words of
anger and of gratitude *
words of guilt and of
forgiveness * words of
consolation, of love and
hope.These words of
Bengt's, in combination
with the classical texts
from the Latin Requiem
Mass, form a kind of
testament to mankind's
yearning for unity and
perfection. In the final
movement, In Paradisum,
this yearning is borne
forth to the God whom
Bengt describes as being:
Wisdom deep and
loving. Stronger than
death.
