Expressen have searched Anders Neglin for comment, but he refers to Stefan Forsberg, director of the Concert Hall which was responsible for wedding music for Carl Philip and Sofia’s wedding.

– This is a completely new arrangement of Anders that worked very well, we think. As far as I know, Warren not written any arrangement that includes violin, cello, two French horns and timpani – and that is what this event is written for, says Stefan Forsberg.

He continues:

– If Warren finds out that there are these instruments, he will understand that it is very far from what he has arranged.

But Per- Erik Brolinson, retired associate professor of musicology at Stockholm University, disagrees.

He has listened to both Anders Neglin version and several versions where Mervyn Warren is responsible for the arrangement – and he believes that it is obvious that the Swedish version has copied Warren’s basic concept, but then changed in some details.

– Sure it would have been reasonable to have with Warren’s name, I think enough. Neglin version does not stand on its own feet without it is clearly influenced by Mervyn Warren, says Per-Erik Brolinson.
