Maria W Horn – Den vita duvans lament

For her installation in the former regional prison Vita Duvan in Luleå the musician Maria W Horn has composed the song cycle The White Dove’s Lament, which together with a pulsating red light make up the atmospheric installation that can be experienced in the prison.

The song cycle consists of the three parts Omnia Citra Mortem, Heac Est Regula Recti and Längtans duva. All three are composed to be sung to an electronic background, a cycle that consists of fourteen chords in Bb-minor, meaning all three songs are composed as progressions across this mode.

Singers: Sara Parkman, David Åhlén, Sara Fors and Vilhelm Bromander
