Standing up together for our earth regardless our faith or worldview is the underlying idea behind a new album released by Solfrid Molland and her talented musicians. In the holy scriptures of the large world religions we find messages of peace and love and powerful texts about protecting the world that has been created for us. The album has three new compositions by Molland dedicated to a synagogue, a mosque and a church. Molland and her ensemble also perform songs about peace taken from texts found in these three religious traditions that Erik Hillestad has then transformed into lyrics.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe participating musicians are, in addition to \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSolfrid Molland\u003c\/b\u003e (song\/piano\/accordion\/ composer), \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHayden Powell\u003c\/b\u003e (trumpet), \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMats Eilertsen\u003c\/b\u003e (double bass), \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAziz Kossai\u003c\/b\u003e (oud\/ vocals), \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDaniel Lazar\u003c\/b\u003e (violin).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen talking about faith and worldviews we often focus on dissimilarities. This may be important so we can see challenges and avoid sweeping disagreements under the rug. But, in a time when our country is becoming increasingly multicultural and multi-religious, it is also important to point out our common heritage and values – to what unites us in spite of our different worldviews. Now, when we need to find solutions to problems together, such as the climate-change crisis and the Corona epidemic, it has never been more important to acknowledge that while we have many religions we only have one earth that we share. Standing side-by-side for our earth and for the best interests of us all is a very important peace project.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe album\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Håpets kappe\u003c\/i\u003e has nine songs and three instrumental compositions written by Molland, inspired by, respectively, Oslo Cathedral, the Oslo Synagogue and the Mosque Islamic Culture Centre at Grønland in Oslo. She also sings a Norwegian, Jewish and Arabic folk song. The other songs are Erik Hillestad’s lyrical renditions of texts from the holy scriptures of the three religions that convey the humanistic message to live together in peace and take care of our planet. In her music, Solfrid Molland reflects musical trends in contemporary Europe with a tonal language in the intersection between Norwegian, Arabic and Jewish folk music and Western classical music – bound together by the musicians’ improvisations.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout Solfrid Molland: \u003c\/b\u003eMolland, a singer, pianist and composer, has previously released three albums on the KKV label with Gypsy songs and her own compositions inspired by different European cathedrals.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe album \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHåpets Kappe \u003c\/i\u003econtinues in the same vein as her previous release \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eForvandling \u003c\/i\u003e[Transformation] (2016), which praises nature.
