New Sweden - Silent Plan

• Since 2009, Norrbotten NEO has annually produced concerts entitled New Sweden, which feature premieres of new works by Swedish composers that the ensemble has commissioned. A selection of those works have been recorded and this is the third installment in the New Sweden set of CDs. The first CD – Diptychon – was released in 2013 and the second - Empreintes digitales – was released in 2015.Originally, New Sweden was a settlement along the Delaware River in North America, from 1638-55. Acknowledging the mindset of the first settlers, the New Sweden CDs strive to honor pioneers who break new musical grounds.One of the first settlers in the New Sweden colony was the Lutheran priest Johannes Campanius. On his tombstone in Fröshult, Uppland you can read the oldest inscription in the Native American Lenape language: Umar Sachiman Chinsika hacking haro ankarop machis chuki (Here lies a great sachem who died in old age).This CD may be considered as a Campanius influenced intercultural inscription that travels through time and space, as well as a snapshot of today’s vibrant Swedish contemporary music scene.Petter SundkvistArtistic Director, Norrbotten NEO, 2007-2012
