O ignis Spiritus

This autumn, Allmänna Sången will embark on a concert tour. With sacred themes and music that is specially adapted for large church spaces, the choir meets two places with their very own world of sound: Vadstena Abbey Church and Olaus Petri Church in Örebro. The program moves between early music and contemporary sound worlds, with works such as Gregorio's "Allegris Miserere mei", "The Night is Advanced" and Arnold Schoenberg's incomparable "Friede auf Erden". A special focus is on Hildegard Sequence by Gustav Lindsten, which Allmänna Sången performs in collaboration with the composer himself. Gustav Lindsten is a composer, sound designer and multi-instrumentalist based in Stockholm. His music moves between the acoustic and electronic, drawing inspiration from, among other things, field recordings, modular synthesis and the contemporary classical music tradition. In his artistic practice, he explores themes such as nostalgia, introspection and the meeting between nature and technology. During the concerts, Gustav participates live with his digital music, which creates a meeting between the choir's acoustic sound and electronic soundscapes. Together with the large acoustics of the church rooms, a unique concert experience is formed where tradition and contemporary meet. Welcome to Vadstena Abbey Church 10/10 at 5 pm
