Mezzo-soprano Ingeborg Gillebo sings Flickan kom ifr氓n sin 盲lsklings m枚te by Sibelius in Round 1 of 麻豆社 Cardiff Singer of the World 2015.

About the music: The girl returns to her mother after seeing her lover. The first time, her hands are red, which she says is the result of picking roses, though it is actually from the pressure of his hands. The next time, her lips are red, which she claims comes from eating raspberries, but it is really from his kisses. The third time, her cheeks were pale, as she learned of her lover鈥檚 faithlessness. She asks her mother to prepare her grave and carve this story on the cross that marks it.
