About this product
This CD contains some of my compositions from the years 2020-2022; the period when I studied composition under Staffan Storm at the Malmo Academy of Music. Some works originate from the period just prior to my studies and some from the period immediately after. The four organ works (tracks 1, 2, 6 and 7) summarise quite well my journey as a composer during these years. They begin with the arrangement of the chorale O giv oss, Herre, av den tro, (O give us Lord, the faith) composed in the summer of 2020. After that I explore O glad dig, Guds forsamling nu (O rejoice, the Church of God) with another type of harmony built on chords by fourths. Here the melody of the chorale is treated more freely than in the first chorale arrangement, using more accidentals. The short Gregorian paraphrase Terribilis est builds on a kind of canon technique alternating with warmer, free-floating sonorous islands as a contrast to the canon parts. Polytonality, i.e. The simultaneous use in the music of several melodious tonalities, has become a significant and characteristic ingredient in my music. In the piece entitled In nomine Jesu I explore this technique both by overlapping chords and a more linear melodic sequence. The last organ work has been performed on the gallery organ in the church and the three other organ works as well as the cantata Tatt intill korset (Close to the Cross) are performed on the choir organ. /Hampus

![Various Artists - St Sigfrids Officium - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/de676977-2c39-49d5-8bd5-12eb9dc80037.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
During the Middle Ages the legend of Saint Sigfrid was related on Saint Sigfrid's Day, the 15th of February. It was reported how he by difficult paths arrived in Småland as a missionary; upon his death he was buried in Växjö. The legend was presented in words and music in the form of an Office, that is, the services which in a monastic context - as was the case at Växjö Cathedral during the Middle Ages - were spread evenly throughout the day. This combination of recitation from the saint's legend and chants about the saint is called an Office or historia. There are many possibilities about how to interpret Gregorian chant today, just as there was in the Middle Ages. The ensemble Gemma strives for a flexible, text-based song where the accentuation of the words forms the foundation for the melodic line. In this recording we have used a pronunciation of the Latin as it is believed to have sounded during the High Middle Ages in Sweden. Three of the antiphons have been performed with psalmody, in order to some extent highlight the most important task of the Office The weekly recitation of the 150 psalms from the Old Testament's Book of Psalms and the cantica from the New Testament. With this recording of excerpts from the Sigfrid Office, we wish to invite the listener to participate in the rich world represented by the medieval Office repertoire, and to offer an audio selection from Swedish music history.
