The piece Jag lyfter mina h\u00e4nder\/ I raise my hands (towards God’s hill and house)<\/em> is dedicated to the choral conductor and music pedagogue Bo Johansson<\/strong> (1943\u20132016). Bo founded the Adolf Fredrik\u2019s Girls\u2019 Choir, which he led for 38 years. The choir reached fame for their special girls\u2019 choir\u2019s sound and unconventional concert programmes.<\/p>\n

Bo developed choral singing in all its aspects with plenty of humour and with great imagination.<\/p>\n

He conducted workshops and masterclasses all over the world and never ceased to be curious about new music, always looking for more challenges.<\/p>\n

To me he was a great source of inspiration and a dear friend.<\/p>\n

I raise my hands towards God\u2019s hill and house.<\/em>
\nUntil them he sends his help and shines his light.<\/em>
\nThe Lord grants me help, who made heaven and earth;<\/em>
\nHe hears my prayers and shelters me forevermore<\/em><\/p>\n

He does not let my feet stumble, for he is<\/em>
\na guardian, unwearied and always by my side.<\/em>
\nHe keeps me in his grace and protects me from falling,<\/em>
\nguarding me day and night \u2014<\/em><\/p>\n
