From the whole album, this song fitted best my Amtrak way from Los Angeles to San Diego. Bright green grass with yellow flowers, small houses above cliffs, and indefinite calm ocean with irregular waves. I can smell the waves in the song, its rhytm is so floating, moving, and jumping–it's so curly.
Gefors is a Swedish composer living in Lund, the city I have a lot of memories of. Today, however, he and von Otter hit the mood of south California.
Composer: Hans Gefors Work: Lydias sånger, V. Sfinxen Recording: Anne Sofie von Otter, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Kent Nagano
