nosag CD 032Staffan Björklund - THERE IS A FOUNTAIN

Staffan Björklund (b. 1944), cathedral organist in Linköping, Sweden, has within a short time risen to a dominant position in Swedish religious musical life. A cathedral of the scale of Linköping´s offers great possibilities, not only for the classical heritage of sacred music but also for Staffan´s own compositions that fill the huge space with novel sounds. Staffan has a deep instinct for music´s spiritual dimensions and we can hear many influences - Swedish folk music, jazz and blues. He has strong connections with French musical life, but is mainly inspired by his love of the Swedish landscape. The Choral is the heart of the evangelical sacred music. Like an enormous oak it stretches its bulk of leaves towards the sun. But into the dark soil the roots dig themselves for nourishment. The music on this CD is Staffan Björklund´s declaration of love to the many faced Choral, with its plenitude of expressions.
