For soprano, bass, mixed choir and orchestra. Text from the Requiem Mass and by Bengt Pohjanen. English translation by John Hearne.
"When a close friend of mine became seriously ill and died – only 37 years old – I was overwhelmed by emotions and thoughts about life and death. It felt natural for me to turn to Bengt Pohjanen, with whom I had collaborated before, to ask him to articulate:
words of anger and gratitude
words of guilt and forgiveness
words of comfort, of love and of hope.
Bengt's words, combined with the Latin Requiem texts, become a testament to humanity's quest for unity and perfection. In the last movement, In Paradisum, this quest is carried forward to God, who Bengt describes as: Wisdom, depth and love. Stronger than death.” Fredrik Sixten
