This song cycle is a setting of poems by Solveig von Schoultz. They describe some of the most profound human emotions: life and death, love and human relations. The music reflecs the message of the words contraststing quiet meditation and impassioned outbursts, closely interweaving the human voice and the string quartet.

String quartet, xylophone, piano

SKU: FG.041-08727-5

Composed by Erik Valdemar Bergman. Score. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.041-08727-5).

Bergman composed this work (for string quartet, xylorimba and piano) as a homage to the Swiss conductor and musical man of note Paul Sacher and even uses his name as musical material. The music exploits the contrasting yet complementary timbres of the instruments, at times lyrical and at others punchy.
