Liguria was commissioned by the Swedish Radio and written for the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. The piece was premiered by the orchestra on April 20 at Berwaldhallen, conducted by Daniel Harding. 

Comment: “On the northwest coast of Italy by the Ligurian Sea are five small fishing villages clinging to the steep cliffs. These are called Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso, and between the villages are paths connecting them through the mountains. In August, 2011, I visited this area and as soon as we arrived I knew that I wanted to write music about it. The result is a work that can be described as a “walking tour” among the small villages: Riomaggiore with its high waves; Manarola with its clock tower; Monterosso, where sunbathers stressedly hurried to secure a place on the beach and open up their colorful beach umbrellas, as if in a scene in a Fellini film; Vernazza, with its watchtower and cliffs; and lastly, Corniglia, where the night sky was filled with stars.” - Andrea Tarrodi

DOKTOR HESSELMARK

(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

När jag mår piss tar jag min mobil
Och slår numret till Doktor Eva
Ångest direkt - kan du hjälpa till?
Jag vill inte längre leva
Hon svarar “Jag kommer direkt”
Jag tänker “Det här är perfekt”
Med Ångest direkt

(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

Har du behov av en konsultation?
Slå bara numret till Dr Eva
Hon sköter allt ifrån deklaration
Till att få stadgar att fungera
Pappersjobb, demokrati
Förenat med psykologi
Hon är ett geni

(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

Men låt oss få ge dig ett råd
Livet är fritt att leva
Så fortsätt som du gör

Och var aldrig rädd för någonting
Gå dina steg längs vägen
som heter Evas väg

Ha mäktiga samlag ibland
Gå på en tur med Henrik
Och laga läcker mat

Och om du behöver nån hjälp
Var aldrig rädd, ta upp din telefon
Och ring till Tuffa Gänget
(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

Grattis Doktor Hesselmark önskar TG!
