Kapellet

Klezmerish

Music I wrote for a play called "Seeking a mum". Vera and David has lost their mum to cancer. At night, a magpie sits outside her window. "Mum, is that you? I wish you were here..."

Vera: I wish...

Music I wrote for the play" Seeking a mum" David, a 15 year old boy has lost his mother to cancer. He runs away from home; rain is pouring down, the line between life and death as sharp as a razor.

Davids despair

Music I wrote for the play 1000 and one night.

Man to Kalif

The merchant goes greedy and becomes blind. From the play 1000 and one nights.

Blind 1

The dervish and merchant travels the desert. From the play 1000 and one nights. Tobias Allvin-guitar, Daniel Pergament-Persson darbouka, Annika Jessen- triangle

The travel

From the stage play Kirsten. Premiere autumn 2014. Daniel Carlsson sings this painfully beautiful. During this song Kirsten gets killed with a dagger by her brother.

Hymn by Annika Jessen with Kapellet

This is about whatever you would like it to be about. Made as quick as a thought.

Thought 1

A song I made for my former band Tummel, where I played the clarinet. Pär Moberg made the stringarrangements and Tobias Allvin invented the wonderful 8-barmelody round the 2-minutemark that accompanies the clarinetsolo.

The image in my head was a guy climbing a green sort-of Mount Everest and from the top paragliding in total freedom.


05 Aviator

I wrote this for a great band I was a member of between 1998 and 2008; Tummel. This track can be found on the Tummelalbum "Transit".

I once visited a friend in den Haag and got inspired...

04 A nacht in den Haag

This is from the first rehearsal with my new klezmerband Oy!. After playing together for a good 30 minutes we set up a mic in the middle of our rehearsalroom and recorded this.
I think this promises good for the future!

Annika Jessen - clarinets and vocals
Johan Ohlsson - accordeon
Johannes Nästesjö - doublebass
Ulrik Brohuus - drums
