Cederberg-Orreteg, Anna
SATB a cappella
In stock
With light brushstrokes, Anna Cederberg-Orreteg paints her expressive interpretation of David Carlson's poem. The melody wanders between the parts and the structure is broken up into clearly contrasting parts. We hear the stars falling and are filled with wonder at "billions and billions of tiny fixed points in the night". The music is set for four-part mixed choir at medium difficulty level with divisions in single, characteristically jazz-tinged chords. The night when the stars fell was commissioned in 2018 by UNGiKÖR and Professor Erik Westberg for the Swedish Youth Choir and is recorded by the choir on Lyssna till Jorden (2021).
The night when the stars fell is included in the series #svenskkörmusik 2022, in collaboration with the Association of Swedish Composers. Read more and watch the film about The Night the Stars Fell and Anna Cederberg-Orreteg.
