Now playing - Nothing is in vain

Thinking of wonderful marimba music heard from afar last night.

Now listening to choral music by the Danish (?) composer Vagn Holmboe. Amongst others, there are settings of "The Wee Wee Man" and "A Lyke-Wake Dirge" ("This ae nicht, this ae nicht, every nicht and a', fire and fleet and candle-licht, and Christ receive thy soul.")

Intet er Forgaves (Nothing is in vain)

Nothing is in vain, all is you, o life.
Every hour given to me is just you, my life,
Nothing is wasted,
Nothing is erased,
Nothing leads me astray
Only home at last.
(Lagerqvist)
