The text by the poet Erik Blomberg addresses Karin’s attraction to poetry that examines the themes of light and darkness as metaphors for human existence. Natt över jordan (Night on Earth) is the first in the two-part cycle, Sånger ur jorden (Songs From the Earth). Karin was the subject of our first Composer Connections segment in October 2020, and I encourage you to hear her music and see my interview here. Performing her Songs From the North, commissioned for our 40th anniversary in 2018, was one of the great highlights of my musical life. We’ve remained friends and colleagues, and Sacred and Profane has presented multiple US premieres of her works. I will be forever grateful that I discovered Karin back in the 1990s when I was researching Swedish music for women’s choir and was led to this remarkable, exciting composer. Sacred and Profane has been performing the music of Swedish composer Karin Rehnqvist since I first began with the choir in 2004. Karin Rehnqvist: Natt över jorden (Night On Earth) We brought you her remote work I Hope You’re Doing Well in December, and we’re pleased to present her A Way to Be With You for remote choir tonight. We had planned to present Dale’s moving work for choir and piano, In the Middle, in March, and when we had to cancel that concert I was happy that we could still explore this gifted Los Angeles-based composer’s music.

When the coronavirus pandemic made it impossible for us to sing together in the same place, we were grateful to composers like Dale Trumbore for creating beautiful works for us to sing together online from our remote locations. When our days are ours and time is free, You'll find your way home to me.Īnd after all these hours are done and through, Nothing is easy when you are far away but that will change some day. When it's dark and you can't sleep at night, I'll find a way to be with you.Īnd when it feel like there's no end in sight, I'll find a way to be with you. I don't know what to say, except I'm here to stay. Kirby Shaw: The Nearness of YouĪnd on the days when nothing's going right, I'll find a way to be with you.

And we are bursting with excitement to begin singing together and perform for our audiences in person next year! We’ve been grateful for the opportunity to come together on Monday nights as we always have to talk, connect, and sing, even though we are all in our own homes. This third concert in our remote season includes three new virtual choir videos (compilations of singers’ individual videos woven together by my partner Pete Gontier to tell beautiful cinematic stories) and three remote pieces, where we sing together in real time online, embracing the latency, or lag time, that comes with making music on Zoom. The Sacred and Profane community has experienced the full arch of life this year – One baby was born in March and another one is on the way next month, two singers who met in our choir were recently married (they’re the ones who are expecting…), members’ elderly parents have struggled or have died, and we lost our longtime beloved bass, Michael Jordin, whom we will forever remember for his remarkable way of connecting with everyone through kindness, food, and of course music. This concert is dedicated to that – connecting with those we already know and love as well as forging new bonds in our communities and across our increasingly small globe.Īs we begin to heal in the warmth of the spring sun, longer days, and the blooming flowers, we remember the people we lost. We are eager to reconnect and see our friends and family face to face, and to create new connections to forge a better future for everyone, including those who are often barred from the advantages that others of us enjoy. What a year it's been! We’ve confronted health, racial, environmental, and economic crises that have left us bruised but determined to create real change.
