Minimalistic Suite for Organ (2019)

Villemo Daneling (b. 1977) — Minimalistic Suite for Organ (2019)

“Minimalistic Suite for Organ” (2019) comprises three brief movements, each with a particular rhythmic character and clear-lined textures and all based on the same musical material. The title refers less to the musical genre of minimalism and more to aesthetic of lifestyle minimalism, of which the composer is a practitioner. As is often true in Daneling’s work, there is a blend of harmonic elements from classical music with some influences from pop and folk music.

Villemo Daneling (b. 1977) was born in Västerås, Sweden and was raised in Tomelilla. She was educated in organ at the Malmö Academy of Music and has worked as an organist and church music in Ystad, Hörby, Orsa, and Simrishamn. Daneling has also pursued active freelance activities as a choir director, singer, and accompanist. As a composer, she has written a variety of instrumental and vocal works.
