This CD contains some of my compositions from the years 2020-2022; the period when I studied composition under Staffan Storm at the Malmo Academy of Music. Some works originate from the period just prior to my studies and some from the period immediately after. The four organ works (tracks 1, 2, 6 and 7) summarise quite well my journey as a composer during these years. They begin with the arrangement of the chorale O giv oss, Herre, av den tro, (O give us Lord, the faith) composed in the summer of 2020. After that I explore O glad dig, Guds forsamling nu (O rejoice, the Church of God) with another type of harmony built on chords by fourths. Here the melody of the chorale is treated more freely than in the first chorale arrangement, using more accidentals. The short Gregorian paraphrase Terribilis est builds on a kind of canon technique alternating with warmer, free-floating sonorous islands as a contrast to the canon parts. Polytonality, i.e. The simultaneous use in the music of several melodious tonalities, has become a significant and characteristic ingredient in my music. In the piece entitled In nomine Jesu I explore this technique both by overlapping chords and a more linear melodic sequence. The last organ work has been performed on the gallery organ in the church and the three other organ works as well as the cantata Tatt intill korset (Close to the Cross) are performed on the choir organ. /Hampus
