On the 9th of February 2025 it will be 7 years since the outstanding Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson passed away suddenly, only at the age of 48. Back then, as a dedication, I composed a 3-part musical service to Jóhannsson. His spheric, minimalistic style and musical voice in general being a great inspiration. Today I bring in mind only the 3rd part of it, titled The Procession.
