Five songs for alto and orchestra to poems by Karin Boye.
Benjamin Staern describes the work as a musical drama in five episodes. It's about spontaneous infatuation, intimacy, longing, betrayal, and finally the otherworldly, unattainable, blindingly white love.
The poems that Staern has set to music are: A declaration of love Could I follow you? Waiting for spring Anxiety Deep violoncello of the night
Composed on order from the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra for alto Anna Larsson.
