About the program
The works on the concert´s repertoire do all in one way or another refer to Iceland´s nature, which is full of contrasts, is both magnificent and fragile. At the same time, all the works have religious connections. The concert will feature the premiere of a piece by Bára Grímsdóttir called Flóra. It is a reference to the Icelandic flora where most of the plants are low-growing but extremely colorful, delicate and beautiful, even though many of them live in barren conditions. The names of the chapters of the work are flowers that remind of or refer to scriptures and religious legends and together they weave a wreath about the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Birting
Arngerður María Árnadóttir (*1975)
The work Birting was written for Guðný Einarsdóttir in 2022. The word “Birting” can mean different things but in Icelandic the root of the word is “birta” which means light. For me the work reminds me of the sunrise and the dance of the sun rays on the surface of the water.

Flóra
Bára Grímsdóttir (*1960)

The first chapter Davíðslykill (The Key of David) refers to a scripture about Jesus that has the key of David from Revelation 3:7:
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
The second chapter Maríustakkur (The mantle of Mary) refers to Mary, the mother of Jesus and her embracing warmth, maternal love and security. Mary’s mantle is mentioned in the poem Máría, lend me your mantle by Einar Ólafur Sveinsson (1899-1984) where the poet prays to the Virgin Mary to wrap her mantle around him as he lays down to rest for the last time. It
It is said that if a person sleeps with the plant Maríustakkur under his pillow, he neither fears in his sleep nor has bad dreams.
The third chapter Ljósberi (Lightbearer) is about Jesus who came into the world to be the light of men and refers to a scripture from John 8:12:
Now Jesus spoke to them again and said: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
The fourth and last chapter Sjöstjarna (Seven Stars) refers to a scripture about the return of Jesus from Revelation 1:16-18:
In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.”
 
Snertur
Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson (1938-2013)
 
Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson wrote the work Snertur for the inaugeration of the new Klais organ in Hallgrímskirkja in 1992. It was Hörður Áskelsson, former organist of Hallgrímskirkja and Church Music Consultant for the Evangelical Lutheran Church, who gave the premiere of the piece. The piece is written in toccata style and has many colorful contrasts. It reflects on Hallgrímur Pétursson´s famous Passion-hymns and refers to the Icelandic folk-songs sung to his hymns. The reflective cluster sections are very pictorial, the clusters reminding of the grapes of the olive trees and the mood of the scene where Jesus is in the garden of Gethsemane. The melody in the final-section of the piece is sung in almost every funeral in Iceland to the hymn Allt eins og blómstrið eina written by Hallgrímur, where death is personified as the Grim Reaper which mowes the beautiful flowers. The hymn ends with the Christian person´s assurance of the resurrection.
