Living by the sea - Heimkynni við sjó

song cycle for soprano and piano
1997
ca. 23'
Text by Hannes Pétursson

The song cycle Living by the Sea appeared in 1997, with poems from Hannes Pétursson´s book of the same name (1980). The book contains sixty poems whose central theme is the poet´s home environment on the Álftanes Peninsula near Reykjavík. Karólína has chosen nine of these poems for her cycle, all reflecting man´s relationship with his environment.
Ingibjörg Guðjónsdóttir and Tinna Thorsteinsdóttir for whom the work was written, first performed this cycle in the National Art Gallery in Reykjavík on 19 April 1998.
