ReGenesis is a Canadian television program produced by The Movie Network and Movie Central in conjunction with Shaftesbury Films. The series, which ran for four seasons, revolves around the scientists of NorBAC ( North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission ), a fictional organization with a lab based in Toronto. The organization investigates problems of a scientific nature, such as bio-terrorism, mysterious diseases or radical changes in environment throughout Canada, the United States, and Mexico. NorBAC is headed by David Sandström (played by Peter Outerbridge), the chief scientist and molecular biologist. Through this character the show often addresses topical social, political and ethical issues related to the science at hand.
It might seem the height of hubris to take the text of one of the most iconic classical pieces ever written and use it to create an entirely new work, but who could refuse such a commission from the prestigious International Bach Academy, Stuttgart, and the Oregon Bach Festival? Swedish composer Sven-David Sandström (born 1942), a professor at Indiana University, Bloomington, is not known to general audiences, but he was one of the few (non-Eastern European) composers schooled in rigorous modernism who was devoting serious attention to religious music in the late 20th century.

Perhaps in his zeal to avoid any reference to Handel, Sandström ignores, or rather, contradicts, than illuminates the meaning of the texts. =ra" Read more
