Today I would like to share a challenge I made: Record, mix and master a song within 24 hours. This is the result:
The song describes Sweden via flora and fauna. It's from the musical Ingvar, en musikalisk möbelsaga (original title: Das wunder von Schweden, eine musikalische Möbelsaga) and it's based on the life of Ingvar Kamprad, the man who started IKEA.
Original Song: Sverige by Erik Gedeon (music) and Klas Abrahamsson (Swedish lyrics).
A Cappella Arrangement by Mikerophone279, Written for Choir with Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bas 1 and Bas 2.
Key: D-major
Song's Vocal Range: G2-B4

Swedish lyrics:
Sverige, Sverige, Sverige.
Skogen grön, stugan röd, himlen blå.
Bäcken, älven, å och sjö.
Kobben, skäret, strand och ö.
Hagen, fältet, torp och gård.
Älgen, järven, hjort och mård.
Sverige, Sverige, Sverige.
Stugan röd, åkern gul, himlen blå.
Sparven, svalan, örn och tjäder.
Lingon, blåbär, rönn och fläder.
Tallen, granen, ek och ask.
Grodan, flugan, mygg och mask.
Sverige, Sverige, Sverige...
English translation:
Sweden, Sweden, Sweden.
The woods green, the cabin red, the sky blue.
The small stream, the river, the stream and the lake.
The rocky islet, the skerry, the beach and island.
The pasture, the field, the cottage and the farm.
The moose, the wolverine, the deer and the European pine marten.
Sweden, Sweden, Sweden.
The cabin red, the field yellow, the sky blue.
The sparrow, the swallow, the eagle and the wood grouse.
Lingonberrys, blueberrys, rowans and elderflower.
The pine, the spruce, oak and ash.
The frog, the fly, mosquitos and earthworm.
Sweden, Sweden, Sweden...
