Originals

Being an original - a character - is most likely an expression not seen as a compliment. But what if we are speaking about physical objects? In that case we admire and revere originals. What about original music? Beginning in the late 1950's the Swedish choir tradition and choral composing tradition grew strong and all of a sudden there was a need for advanced new choir music. Sven-Erik Bäck, Ingvar Lidholm, György Ligeti and others started composing works for Swedish choirs - works that have made their way into music history. The tradition of letting contemporary composers create landmarks in music by their originals is strong. Originals - they do have character.
