“I saw the sun / how she shone / mighty she seemed” – these are some of the words of the Icelandic poem that underlies Karin Rehnqvist’s *Solsången* (“The sun song”). The music, too, feels mighty, with an introductory movement where the orchestra keeps us in a tight grasp of shivering chords. The intervals are dominated by octaves that create a sense of something monumental, with dissonant clusters instilling a sense of awe or perhaps fear. The work is dedicated to Lena Willemark who has also performed its vocal solo part, and is a prime example of what can be achieved through an intimate collaboration between composer and musician.
