Children of the wind , an English adaptation of Vindens barn , was commissioned by The Swedish Children's and Youth's Choir Association, UNGiKÖR, 2008. Composed for 2-part children's choir, soprano saxophone, piano and percussion.

"Children of the wind was created to inspire a sense of freedom. To make you feel the wind in your hair, see the majesty of high mountains or the greatness of the oceans. To return to places where life can be simple and authentic.
Having grown up in the far north of Sweden, above the Arctic circle, living close to nature with long snowy winters and that very special Nordic light, this piece is inspired by the games that children play outdoors – catching snowflakes, playing hide-and- seek in harmony with the elements. Who can better speak the language of snowflakes and whisper secrets to the wind than the children of the earth? The children are our future, and every child should in his or her own environment have the right to explore this kind of freedom.
The song is also inspired by the Sami cultural expression known as Yoyk. - Susanna Lindmark

"Children of the wind is a song about the longing to take out the wings of freedom and fly away! To feel the wind blowing in your hair, to look out over white expanses or over a sparkling sea, places where life can fill us with energy and new power.
And who better to speak the language of snowflakes and whisper secrets to the wind than children?
We are all children of the wind. We are all children of the great freedom.” - Susanna Lindmark
Susanna Lindmark is the leader of Arctic Light, which was named Choir of the Year in 2009.
