Mikael Carlsson Requiem (2016)
In 2015, Gothenburg composer Mikael Carlsson received a commission from the Church of Sweden to write a new Requiem Mass to be premiered in the Haga Church in Gothenburg the following year. At the time, the devastating refugee crisis in Europe, particularly in the Mediterranean, had a profound impact on the composer, and it was decided that the new choral work would relate in some way to the ongoing catastrophe. While the Requiem is rooted in the Catholic liturgy for the dead, both in terms of text and the Gregorian chant melodies, each movement in the current work was given a subtitle that creates a loose narrative about a family escaping war and terror. Composed for mixed choir, string orchestra, and piano, the work premiered on November 5, 2016, and has subsequently been performed twice.
This program also features organ repertoire composed by two British composers: John Tavener (who would have turned 80 this year) and Judith Weir (who turned 70 in May).
