About my country:
* [http://www.terapatricklife.com/ tera patrick pictures]
I am a Swede, living in Sweden. We are a very small country (as are also our Nordic neighbours) and our
* [http://www.adrianalimapics.org/ Adriana Lima]
language is spoken by relatively few people. Thus, we tend to learn, speak, and write English quite well,
* [http://www.adrianalimapics.org/biography.php Adriana Lima Biography]
since we cannot make ourselves understood otherwise. (However, we usually can understand - and be
* [http://www.adrianalimapics.org/gallery.php Adriana Lima gallery]
understood - by Danes and Norwegians, and many Finns also understand some Swedish).  
To find out more about Sweden, the best way is probably to visit:

Choral-wise, Sweden has quite a strong tradition. It started with men's university choirs in the early 19th
century. The most common choir type nowadays is the mixed choir; women's choirs are still more unusual than
other choir types.
 
About me:
I frequently arrange any types of songs that I like and have specific ideas about. The ideas come in
several ways. I may be inspired by the melody or the lyrics; I may think of a certain theme in the song,
that I want to elaborate. I may want to make variations of the lyrics or arrange the song in a new way
stylistically - for example, make jazz of a folk song.
 
Another motivation I have, especially for making arrangements for women's choir, is that it is often very
hard to find a capella arrangements for this type of choir.
 
Personally, I dislike the "primadonna trend" among composers and conductors. I think the attention should
be primarily on the music - it will still be there after the composers are dead and (in many cases)
forgotten. I am the servant of the music, not the other way around. Thus, I have a little difficulty with
giving detailed biographical information about myself (I don't think my life would be very interesting
for others to read about, and I don't want to become a "celebrity", although I'm of course happy when my
music is sung and appreciated).
 
My musical background:
In the municipal music school, I studied piano, recorder, and violin (somewhat). I have kept playing the piano,
and teached myself to play the guitar (mostly chord playing as accompanient to song, but also some "finger play").
 
When I was around 25 years old, I started to take singing lessons, and did that for approximately seven years
(with frequent breaks for a year or a half each). About the same time, I started to sing in a women's choir for
students. I have sung in women's and mixed choirs since then (also here with some breaks), both in church choirs
and secular choirs.
 
Concerning my knowledge in arranging choral music: I am mostly an auto-didact (my formal education is short:
half a semester of basic music theory at the university). I try to transform the practical knowledge I get
as a choral singer to arrangements that are (hopefully!) fun to sing.
