SATB chorus divisi & soprano saxophone / clarinet - Digital Download SKU: BJ.1123 Composed by Sven Hagvil. Secular. Octavo. 65 pages. Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital #1123. Published by Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital (BJ.1123). 8.27 x 11.7 inches.Sven Hagvil's Symphony of Solitarities is a choral symphony in three movements (This oceanic feeling, Lonelinesses, Solitude) for mixed choir and soprano saxophone (or clarinet). The piece, which is around 30 minutes, is composed for S:t Johannes Chamber Choir in Stockholm, conducted by Karin Oldgren. At the first performance Anders Paulsson, world renown saxophonist to whom the symphony is dedicated, was soloist on soprano saxophone. The lyrics, written by the composer, are dealing with man's existential loneliness, a loneliness that we paradoxically share with all other people. In the second movement some choreographic elements are added, as well as solo parts for the choristers. The instrumentalist is expected to improvise parts of the music. The last movement, Solitude, is available as an off-print for SSAA and TTBB.
