More info and score can be found on www.stefanklaverdal.com Written for Women's choir (or three solo singers) on the text from the Catholic Requiem mass, this piece was originally composed for the oratory "Judas". Text: Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna, in die illa tremenda Quando cœli movendi sunt et terra Dum veneris iudicare saeculum per ignem. Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo, dum discussio venerit, atque ventura ira. Quando cœli movendi sunt et terra Dies illa, dies iræ, calamitatis et miseriæ, dies magna et amara valde. Dum veneris iudicare saeculum per ignem. Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis #LSCMF #FST100  less

The choir consists of about 60 female and male singers. Many of the members are active and former students of the University of Music, Drama and Media Hannover, but other professions are represented as well, and all singers are united in their wide choral experience and their joy in singing challenging works together. The performance of a wide range of a cappella works, some of them quite unknown, forms an important emphasis of the choir. In addition to sacred and secular a cappella music of the 15th century until today, the choir performs cantatas, masses, oratorios, and passions. Many compositions were broadcast for radio stations or published on CD. The choir has recorded ten CDs and performed several world premieres of contemporary compositions, e.g. by Büsing, Dinescu, Fuchs and Wangenheim. In 2010 the choir received the ECHO KLASSIK award for the CD "Glaubenslieder", the hi...    less

Conductor: Ole Faurschou Performance at Lund Sacred Contemporary Music Festival 2018 in Allhelgonakyrkan in Lund. More info and score can be found on www.stefanklaverdal.com “See, darkness covers the earth” is built on a previous piece for bass clarinet (or cello) and computer called "One of the seven angels". The title is a quote from book of revelations, and "See darkness..." is in its turn a series of other quotes that the first title refer to in various ways. It turns out that the references to me felt very contemporary and had to do with the current trends in society and that meant that I could both recompose something old, use new old texts that referred to an old piece of mine and construct a very contemporary and important piece that may both say something about our time and give hope for a better future. The original piece was composed to Mattias Eklund First performed by Mattias Eklund a...    less
