- Soul Rock -
If you are trying to find the town of Soulville on a map, you will definitely not succeed. It is fictitious and only exists in the imagination of the composer Lars Ericsen. For him, it is the centre of soul music: Soulville, a mecca for countless fans from all over the world who make the pilgrimage to "their" capital for the love of "their" music. Soul is a black and blues-soaked variety of rock. Soul interpreters like Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles or James Brown have shaped this special style and made it famous.

Soulville enthrals the listener from the very first second: Catchy melodies and a driving groove provide energy and passion. The chorus (which can also be improvised at will) is composed for two soloists, who can take turns in the form of a typical 'call-and-response'. Since the piece dispenses with high registers and rhythmic complexity, it can be played by many ensembles. Therefore, nothing stands in the way of a joint journey to Soulville!
