For more than ten years he was the music director and conductor of “Carmen”, one of the most prominent women's vocal ensembles in Sweden. Working with this choir gave Jansson the impetus to write many of his early compositions for female choir. “The knowledge that what I wrote at night would be tested the next evening was a driving force that not so many other composers were lucky to have”.
Jansson currently teaches choral conducting as well as music theory and gives vocal tuition at the Bolandgymnasiet and Musikskolan in his home town of Uppsala.
He has established himself as a composer of sacred choral works. Since 2014 many of his compositions have been published by Bärenreiter and have been well-received within the international choral scene.

“My music is my own and I have never tried to be original. That has always been my motto and I have only tried to use music to express all the feelings which life has to off er. This has led people to describe my music as ‘so sad that it sounds like birds who have lost their wings’ but also as ‘the happiest classical music that we have ever heard’. My compositions are almost all sacred. They express not only my own faith but also my appreciation and respect for the timeless texts that have been used for centuries and centuries.”
