A Singing God Dave Schelhaas The Lord your God will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17b God sings? Who knew? And He sings to us! Of course the angels sing their glorias and hallelujahs. And everyone knows God’s people sing to him: “Make a Joyful noise!” the psalmist says, and we do, it seems, whenever more than two or three of us get together. We know that Jesus sang. The rabbi and his disciples, after the Passover meal but before they headed out with cleansed feet toward Gethsemane and heartbreak, “sang a hymn.” Was there a standard post-seder meal hymn? Psalm 103, perhaps? Did someone give the pitch? Did this motley male choir harmonize? Did they miss Iscariot’s strong tenor or was he a monotone? Did Jesus on this last night stop singing from time to time and just listen? Jesus, the God-Man, singing— But now here’s Zephaniah whose words I have left unread for sixty years or more, telling us all—all of Abrahams’s seed— that Yahweh is bending over us singing and rejoicing like a mama dreaming the future of her cradled babe. -

Stockholm and Eurovison Song Contest
Stockholm and Eurovison Song Contest Two Eurovision entries in 2015 were written during Stockholm Songwriting Camp Macedonia’s ”Autumn Leave’s” was composed and written by Joacim Persson. Azerbaijan’s ”Hour of the Wolf” was written by Nicolas Rebscher, Nicklas Lif and Lina Hansson during the first ever Stockholm Songwriting Camp at Pop House hotel in Stockholm, january 2015. In addition several pop songs met the public ears during the year, including Conchita Wurst’s ”Firestorm” written and produced by Joacim Persson, Sebastian Arman and Aleena Gibson (who was an additional writer not at the camp), and the song ‘Step to my beat’ which the ‘pop dynamo’ Ronika co-wrote at the camp with Nicolas Rebscher. It was also featured in The Guardians pop playlist. Stockholm Songwriting Camp is an initiative that brings together writers and producers from around the world. It is a hub that values the creativity of others and wants to provide a neutral platform for embracing creativity across the songwriting world. What makes the concept different from a lot of camps is the fact that the organizers do not claim any publishing rights, all property is the writers – it is simply the meeting place. The concept was founded by Niclas Molinder owner of Auddly, based in Stockholm. The second Stockholm Songwriting Camp takes place 5th – 8th February 2016 www.stockholmsongwritingcamp.com Source: Stockholm Business Region/Stockholm Songwriting Camp The City of Stockholm www.visitstockholm.com Follow @esc16stockholm on twitter Follow @visitstockholm on facebook, twitter and instagram Images and stockshots: mediabank.visitstockholm.com Follow @investstockholm on twitter youtube.com/stockholm Facts about Stockholm and Eurovision Song Contest 43 countries will be competing during Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm, May 10-14, 2016 at Stockholm Globe Arena. -

We All Love Abba
WE PRESS RELEASE: ‘WE ALL LOVE ABBA’ ALL NEW BOOK BY STANY VAN WYMEERSCH Following on from his well-received book Let’s Talk About ABBA, Stany Van LOVE Wymeersch now turns the spotlight on how musicians and other creatives from a surprising array of genres have been inspired to draw from ABBA’s ABBA mesmerizing musical canon. The artists’ narratives, from Suzi Quatro to James Last and from Pete Waterman right through to the Sex Pistols, firmly illustrate that ABBA, and their music, have clearly left an indelible fingerprint on the output of a wide and diverse range of firmly established and respected artists. Some even went so far as to integrate or recraft ABBA’s music to sculpt their own unique projects. Whilst the fascinatingly open and frank interviews of We All Love ABBA tack- le the ABBA phenomenon in a highly refreshing and global ‘pop culture’ kind of way, the selected photographs of ABBA and their peers, by renowned lensmen Stock/Aitken/Waterman - Photo: ISOPIX/REX/Shutterstock such as Brad Elterman, Govert de Roos and Aad Spanjaard, secure an enjoyable visual experience that starts in the ‘70s and ends in 2016. The icing on the cake are three unique letters written to ABBA, a photo story featuring Michiel Gunning (pop journalist/ABBA expert) and Dutch girl group Luv’, and finally, a CD-single by Belgian pop crooner Embracingfranki that fea- tures a recording at ABBA’s legendary Polar Studios. TABLE OF CONTENTS AND FACT SHEET List of interviewees - international: Pete Waterman (Stock/Aitken/Waterman), Suzi Quatro, Giorgio Moroder, Andy Scott (Sweet), Neil Sedaka, James Last, Connie Francis, Andy Bell (Erasure), Sweet - Photo: Lebrecht Music & Arts Liz Mitchell (Boney M.), Terry Uttley (Smokie), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Hazell Dean, Conchita Wurst, Carl Magnus Palm (ABBA biographer), Judy Craymer (crea- tor/producer Mamma Mia!), Judy McLane (Broadway star), Rod Stephen (Björn Again), Per Herrey (Herrey’s) and Brian May (Queen).
