Jag har läst flera inlägg där många uttrycker att kören delvis förstör helhetsintrycket, men jag kan ej hålla med! Budskapet i dikten går fram väldigt tydligt och då stör det inte mig att det kan halta i kören lite grann.
Jag är så glad att ni har lagt in detta! Oavsett om det är amatörer med som någon har kommenterat. Det är ju det youtube ska vara till för! Ska sjunga detta stycke i Tyresö nästa helg. Så tack! Kram katharina frogner
I love this work of Larsson, but every time I listen to this particular piece I can't help but think how much more beautiful it would sound if a "regular" singer sang it instead of these opera people. It fucks up this simple, beautiful music.
I don't know if it's been tried. For one thing, they'd have to use microphones - there's no way a "regular" singer can sing this well without amplification. Since the music was written in 1940, I think we can be fairly sure that L-E Larsson had classical singers in mind when he wrote it. The singers picked for the first performance were indeed classical singers (Torlind and Hasslo).
Conductors might just conduct in a way to make it simpler for themselves, and then ask the choir to think in another way, that's one possibility. Or you're simply wrong.
Normally they conduct it in three and I discussed few days ago about that with one of greatest conductors in Sweden, he said: It is clear written for the choir in three, then I said but the accompaniment is in two means 6/8 then maestro F.R said that he tried that once but it was difficult for the choir, I'm musician and composer and I know what I'm writing, I didn't write bad comment about the work
and it is very clear for me to notice that the maestro here is not professional but she is doing very well and the rest also.
What I wrote is (SIMPLY) very correct because in other parts of the world the timesignature 6/8 is mixed with the 3/4 together and that's common in the Middle East and Latin America and many places in Africa; me myself I have many compositions written as that and some of them played in Sweden.
I love this work so much, in my opinion that the middle part it is better to be conducted in two and not in three or one (like here) because the feeling of that place is 6/3 and not 3/4, even the groups were written by L.E.Larsson seems to be in 6/8, this part comes twice in this movement, the cello and the bass gives the first and the second beats then the rest giving the following two beets exactly like the 6/8 I can't understand why all the conductors insist to conduct it in 3 or in 1.

I don't doubt that's what he had in mind since those are the only versions I've ever heard. But it'd be nice to hear something different sometime.

Beautiful!
I can remember how the high notes in this part were a bit of a challenge for us sopranos in my choir.
