Liknöjd Fauna is a choral suite in five movements for solo group and mixed choir a capella with texts set to music from Åse Berg's poetry collection from 2011 of the same name. The text above is my own and can be performed solo as a prologue to the suite. The music is basically tonal and also contains speech choirs and dramatic elements as well as occasional choreographic instructions.
