I stumbled upon this rare magic on the last day of 2021. That I needed an infusion of some of the best that humanity can offer at that moment was without question. The evocation of the ancient as well as the contemporary, no false binary here. The roots are centuries deep, tapping communal memory, and yet the endless cycle of fearful worry and joyous relief feels as current as the headlines. Our first harmonic interval, contemporary dissonances, and the trailing undertow of the age-old tritone. The simple and yet evocative use of gesture. The timeless unwrapping and wrapping again of shawls. And who wouldn't want that glorious 'welcome home' for ones own, especially when the embrace is led by your radiant soloist, whose vocal warmth and welcome is only matched by a smile that will stay with me for many a day. And then the sad leave-taking and the return of dread, that too a part of the old story. The performance for me was the music but magically that as well. What a way to start a new year! I included the link to this in my New Years Day missive of glad tidings and best wishes to all my friends and family across Canada. And, suffice it to say, you now have a whole raft of new fans. And I'm one of them! Thank you so very much. And may all of our better natures Be thoroughly nourished well That they may thrive and flourish well In the coming year!

My goodness, this interpretation is absolutely incredible! And the soloist

[@nauvalfaradis]

Absolutely amazing and breathtaking. Thank you, Sofia Vokalensemble.

[@brunommolin]

Detta måste vara Sveriges bästa körklang. Inte en enda av landets professionella körer kommer ens i närheten av detta. Wow!

[@SofiaVokalensemble]

Tack så mycket! Vad roligt att du uppskattar det vi gör.

När jag började att lyssna på stycket undrade jag "vart skall detta ta vägen" men... Stycket är helt magiskt och sjungs ofattbart vackert av såväl solisten som av kören! I stycket har Bengt verkligen tagit nytta av den lite udda stora akustiken som är i Sofia Kyrka. Ännu en gång helt FANTASTISKT!

[@SofiaVokalensemble]

Tack så mycket! Fint att höra att du uppskattade stycket och framförandet. Trilo är verkligen speciell för oss i kören. :)

[@Txepetxcc]

It’s not odd acoustics. The voices purposely enter in a way that it makes it sound like echo. But it is not reverb generated by the walls, but an illusion done by each singer overlapping just in the right sequence ;) . Also the sea sound it’s not improvised . It’s rehearsed to perfection , such that it looks like te real sea

[@sabakes]

Wow. So moving. I love the feeling given to the music. Such purity. The soloist is amazing.

[@SofiaVokalensemble]

Thank you! This piece is very special to us and it warms our hearts that you feel it.

[@busanchoral8388]

Thank you Sofia Vocal Ensemble and conductor Bengt for participating in the 2020 Busan Choral Festival & Competition as a great video chorus and giving a deep impression to many choirs around the world. Someday I hope you Sofia Vokalensemble can sing again in Busan. Until then!

Oerhört vackert! Hörde detta verk för första gången igår i Mariefreds Kyrka, framfört av Bolins ensemble, och blev så gripen att jag var tvungen att söka upp det igen. Tack för ett fint framförande!

I’m not a big fan of gestures and some sort of choreography when performing a choir piece. That being said, the vocals of this choir are very good. Beautiful voice with the soloist at the beginning.

[@SofiaVokalensemble]

Thank you! We're happy to hear you enjoyed our performance even if some sort of choreography was involved. :)

[@sabakes]

@Martijn Then you won't enjoy watching African choirs. Gestures and dancing is what we do and it comes naturally. So I really enjoyed this

[@martijnspruit]

@@sabakes I'll close my eyes then, and listen to the music.
