Marianne Beate Kielland Halvo - Kjell Habbestad Songs Of Love [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.'Looking through my songs I discovered that most of them deal with love, often lost or unrequited love; yes, even with the same aspects that one finds in Edvard Munch's central themes: love, angst and death. With one exception, the songs in the album are arranged more or less chronologically according to the date of the source, from the Bible to poems by contemporary Norwegian poet Paal-Helge Haugen. Surprisingly, this sequence results in a dramaturgical movement from the love described in the Song of Songs, through the angst-filled life, to death. In order that the album not end on a negative note, however, I have placed the poem by Olav H. Hauge (1908x971994) after the Haugen (1945x97) poems.rr

And there is one more coincidence: Almost without exception the chronological sequence coincides with the order in which the songs were composedx97from '3 Canticles' in 1984 to 'It is that Dream' in 2015.'rr
