SEKS DANSKE KORSANGE (Six Danish Choral Songs for SSA or SSATB)
The songs in this choral collection from 1991, when I was honoured as Choral Composer of the Year (by the Danish Amateur Choral Association) are composed so that can be performed for equal voices (SSA) or for mixed choir (SSATB) - and combined ad lib. (fx one verse SSA, another verse SSATB). Choral song nr. 2, 3, 4 are available in an English version also, as separate choral songs (“The Year”, “Steep is the path”, “Freezing Nights”). Nr. 6a is in Latin:
1. DU SKAL PLANTE ET TRÆ (Piet Hein)
2. ÅRET (Ole Sarvig)
3. VÆLDIG ER JORDENS VEJ(Ole Sarvig)
4. KOLDE NÆTTER (Nis Petersen)
5. STJENESPEJL (Ib Michael)
6 a.FLOS UT ROSA FLORUIT (anon. latin, medieval)
6 b.BLOMSTBRØD UD I ROSENFLOR (free translation by Ole Sarvig)
