"Sanctus" (Ola Gjeilo) is sung by The Central Washington University Chamber Choir (Gary Weidenaar, director).
Luther College Nordic Choir, under the direction of Allen Hightower, singing Ola Gjeilo's new piece "Serenity (O Magnum Mysterium)" for choir and cello. Recorded live at Christmas at Luther 2015.
At this year’s traditional All Saints Concert, Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir will celebrate the hope of light, which can only be seen in the dark. This late Sunday evening, when we remember those we have lost, is also a reminder that the classical vocal music emerged out of the sacred ambiance and the monks’ nightly chanted prayer. The spirit of the song does not seek to overthrow the silence, but rather to sing the duet with it, so that the silence comes forward and resonates along. The beauty of the tones points beyond – they lift themselves against the starry sky and eternity.
Scenes from Gjeilo's majestic native Norway inspired this contemporary poem. Words and music are fused in a poignant, yet lyrical work with a pulse of its own. An excellent festival choice for mature women's choirs.
