The title of this work refers to the journey through Sweden in Selma Lagerlof's book, The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Holgerson, in which Vineta is the city under a curse. Situated off the Gotland coast, Vineta only apperas from the water every hundred years and then sinks into the sea again. The music does not relate programmatically to the myth; it is simply the expression of associations with ringing bells sinking into the sea. A sense of "pastness" prevails in and beyond this piece. -- the composer. Duration: approx 7 minutes. Uses Harmon mute and contemporary techniques.
