Composing and arranging
I have over the years composed music for seven original theater plays and am now working on the eighth. To me the music can serve different purposes in a play. It can paint and color the story being more in the background or enhance what is going on on the stage. But I prefer to use the music as a main story teller, just as important as the actors.
Here are a couple of examples:
Svart Madonna
The black Madonna - a choir mass
The music was created to a story by the author and director Margareta Skantze, where the cycle of life was the format. I composed the music together with Elisabeth Ekman and we incorporated 9 voices, a flute and hand drums into the arrangements.
Quite soon in the creative process we realized that the story had the same elements as a high mass. This made the music taking on its own existence after the play had stopped performing, and the pieces are still sung by choir now and then.
Den olycklige danske prinsen
The last Danish medieval king
I created the music for one voice and a kannel. Which then practically takes just as much attention from the audience as the monologue of the sole actor portraying the king.
The story about the king Christian II shows that history is different in the south from the surroundings of Stockholm. The very south Sweden belonged to Denmark up till the second half of the 17th century. A history that is excluded from the schools' history education.
