Sofia Söderberg - Mother Earth (Our Mother of Heavens)
S:t Jacobs Vokalensemble with conductor Mikael Wedar.
Spoken intro: Johanna Hälleberg
Soprano solo: Jenny Myr
Additional spoken solos: Erik Dahl, Johanna Hedtjärn & Gustav Hedlund
The music was recorded june 10 2024 in S:t Jacobs Kyrka, Stockholm.
Music & Video production: Mats Helgesson
"'Mother Earth'. A beautiful take on The Lord’s prayer. The poem reminds us that our actions here on our planet Earth have had and will forever have environmental effects. And that we have a common mission to put right what our species in the past times has done wrong."
The work was conceived as an illustration of the very ability that has enabled humankind to become the dominant species of the planet Earth, the ability to keep pace together. Or to keep time with music together. As pack animals, humans stand hardly any chance alone. But the uniquely human sense for pulse made it possible to gather the flock and develop a form of cooperation that made us unstoppable. Music lets us connect and strengthen the bonds between people.
No empires could have been built, no monuments erected, and no wars waged, if people did not move in concert, coordinated. Music made us what we are, but our might has paradoxically also resulted in humankind becoming the only threat to its own survival. The Climate crisis is upon us, and it is affecting us all. To solve these problems, we need to gather strength from the most primal, from the very basis of our existence, from our innate capacity for cooperation, empathy and love. Together we are at our strongest.
The lyrics are a paraphrase on The Lord's Prayer, focusing not on God the Father but on Mother Earth, her gifts and our responsibilities to her and ourselves. The work begins with the reading of this prayer, which then spreads throughout the choir as a whisper. A melancholic, simultaneously resigned and imploring soprano solo soars over the murmuring. The voices of the two choirs join in a simple and restrained harmony, which slowly grows to a splendid climax at the words "Provide for us each day". The choir slowly fades, interspersed with spoken fragments of the prayer, and the work ends with the soprano solo, seemingly urging us to take action.
"Mother Earth" is a work by Swedish composer and conductor Sofia Söderberg, long-standing conductor of the male voice ensemble Svanholm Singers, as well as other ensembles. The original lyrics by the composer were in Swedish, but the work is here performed in an English translation by Anna Holmqvist.

Guld, rökelse och myrra
Переглядів 2455 місяців тому
Trettondagen är en av de äldsta kristna högtiderna och firas för att österländska stjärntydare hittade vägen till Betlehem genom att följa en stjärna på himlen. Stjärnan ledde dem till ett stall där de fann Jesus, som de hedrade med guld, rökelse och myrra. När stjärntydarna, som också brukar kallas kungar eller vise män, tågar in i Storkyrkan tillsammans med åsnan, oxen och lammet står den ang...

Sublimes, divin , envoûtant...😢
The hand of God reaches down from heaven's beatific vision, touches the hand of Morten Lauridsen as he composes this magnificent piece of music. Flawless performance by a troupe of chorale performers vocalizing as angels from the heavenly realm in perfect harmony. Tears of Joy listening to God's perfection embodied in music. Bravo!
Detta är en otroligt fin musikalisk sammanfattning av sommarsäsongen i Sverige. Tack för att Ni publicerade den på nätet.
Bravooo!!!
❤
Great production Mats! Congratulations to everyone in the choir!
thx friend! :D
I know chanticleer has a monopoly on this song but this adaptation is nothing short of incredible.
So happy I stumbled on this. The best version by far.
I tear up, beautiful song, but reminds me of high school choir and all my peers singing this song for Mr. Stroope
So beautiful so pure. I am moved.
Så galet vacker
Lindo, simplesmente lindo!
Con esta obra ganamos en Preveza Grecia en el 2012 en el festival celebrado en esa ciudad!
Bravo
This music is so very special - so moving - I cannot stop listening to it. Ola Gjeilo is beyond talented - my thanks for this.........
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
Absolutly wonderfull. La direction est parfaite et permet l’ exécution exacte des nuances indiquées par Britten. Merci!
Love this!!! 😁
Very agreeable and soothing to the SOUL and HOLISTIC.
How beautiful ❤ transcendent!
Stunning.
A resounding blest celestial Amen, an all encompassing beautiful Shalom.
I heard it for the first time from Metsatoll.😂. Now I heard the more classic version.
beautiful performance, but how are some of these "youth" folks suffering from severe male pattern baldness?
Beautifully done my friends!❤
Magnifique ❤
Starting at 3min, this would be absolutely brilliant as a piece for brass. When you hear 70 horns break loose with choral arrangements for brass, it can bring on goose bumps even when it's 85deg!
Agreed bro. So gorgeous
This is a very challenging choral arrangement by Debussy, and it was very well done. Also, there are nice young voices. Bravo!
I think there are certain signature dischords which have a direct tearduct effect, in whatever context... I have sung this with two amateur choirs and in both cases the first rehearsal was difficult-- we all choked up...
Super!
Splendid 😮
Thank you 🙏
❤️❤️❤️
I got to watch this live from our schools advanced choir and it was absolutely amazing. During the clapping parts the choir would stomp instead and it was loud and chaotic and violent just like what the song is about. The lights person would even flicker the lights a bit when that would happen. Every rendition of this piece is great but I don’t think it will ever match hearing it live with the stomping and lights.
5:41 this is the greatest thing i've ever heard
Beautiful, amazing execution. Such a well painted picture. My goodness
Beautiful beautiful my goodness
A nice piece of music. Played and sung very good. And even a greater work regarding to the conductor making a race in front of the musicians. Hey, good boy! Calm down. Half of the beats will do VERY fine. THAT is the music.
Must keep Western Civilization alive or the barbarians will destroy it based on their beliefs.
Thank you for this performance
Such as angels sing ,do these fine young people. Truly magnificent.
👍😎
Our High School Choir sung this for our wedding. Well done yall.
Please sing One More Light by Linkin Park (arr. for choir by Joe Eckman) ua-cam.com/video/-qNn0xTo5Ks/v-deo.html
Beautiful performance❤
Bravi to all. Gentle and tender approach. Loving.
Kult!
I am a trombonist. I’m playing a trombone quartet arrangement of this piece. It’s so beautiful!
We need, all, listen this kind of music. Is kindful for our souls.
Magnificent! The balnce between vocals is exactly on point (so many choirs are soprano-heavy)! The dynamics are also very much on point, and that's no small achievement even for a world-class chorale. To be able to make those crescendos and decrescendos have the necessary contrast isn't easy without a very large chorale. My sincere, deep compliments and admiration! This may be my favorite recording of Lauridsen's masterpiece!
👏👏👏
