Video: Jörgen Sundeqvist Arrangement of "Till Havs" - Swedenby Christine Johnstone |
 A few weeks ago Jörgen Sundeqvist made a video together with Klas Norberg, a famous singer (tenor), colleague and a very good friend.The video was produced by the famous composer Fredrik Högberg, who made the Concerto for Accordion and orchestra "The Accordion King" for Jörgen a few years ago. The video was made as the Västernorrland region and Kramfors community wanted a special film to present this beautiful area, also called "The High Coast" and the famous river "Ångermanälven", which is also called "The Accordion river". They also wanted to present "The Mississippi of the Accordion”, as so many famous Swedish accordionists such as Andrew Walter, Hans-Erik Nääs, the brothers Karl and Erling Grönstedt and many others were born in Kramfors next to the river and made this area very famous. Kramfors and Ångermanälven are so connected with all these famous accordionists and their music. Jörgen and Klas have chosen a very dramatic song, both the words and most of all the music. The song is called "Till Havs" (At Sea) written by the Swedish composer Gustaf Nordqvist in 1922 for tenor and large symphony orchestra. This song became very famous, and a big "hit" for the legendary Swedish tenor Jussi Bjoerling. Jörgen made a special arrangement for the accordion, where he has brought out every single detail from the orchestral score to one accordion. We hope you enjoy "The High Coast Version 2021 of Till Havs", with Klas Norberg (vocals) and Jörgen (accordion). |
