«  THE SANTA CLARA MOTET CHOIR
The Choir, from Stockholm in Sweden, was founded back in 1880 by J. Ludvig Ohlsson and is thus one of the city’s oldest choirs still performing. Since 1979
the choir’s conductor has been Michael Waldenby, born in 1953. The choir’s repertoire consists of major works by the great European composers like Mozart, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Widor, Vierne, Verdi and Schnittke. The choir also enjoys performing relatively unknown, yet much appreciated, pieces by Swedish composers, both modern and in the post-romantic and Nordic romantic tradition. Naturally, the choir also performs works by Michael Waldenby. As a composer, Waldenby has written several pieces for soloists, choir, and orchestra; and he enjoys setting older Swedish poetry to music. Michael Waldenby studied chiefly in Stockholm, but also at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, and in Belgium. Two of Waldenby’s major works for choir are ”Five Latin Motets” from 1995 and ”Verba Ecclesiastes” from 2003, both of which are well-known even outside of Sweden. Every other year, the choir goes on tour, mostly in Sweden, but now and again it goes abroad; the choir has performed in Vienna, Helsinki and Prague.
