Vuggevise

Information

A heavy and evocative piece based on a burdensome poem that was published in a newspaper during the refugee crisis in 2015. It begins:

”Lille krigsbarn, hvor går du hen? Mod øst eller vest?
Hvor i verden tror du, du finder en ven?

Lille krigsbarn, hvad passer dig bedst: Ett hullet teppe?
En krydsfinerkiste? En redningsvest?”

To be sung in a simple fashion, like a lullaby. Lyrics in Danish. Commissioned by the Swedish female choir Bella Voce and their conductor Sara Sandström.
