Ola Gjeilo, a rising composer in the world of choral music, debuts his first recording on the Decca label. His music has an ethereal and bewitching sound that will captivate and transport you to a heavenly place. He draws on influences from his Nordic background to conjure modern choral music of exceptional beauty. Radiant vocal textures are enhanced by transcendental instrumental additions, a twinkling piano performed by Ola himself, captivating strings, and exquisite acoustic guitar. Gjeilo has evolved a musical style which is at once contemporary and familiar. His concentrated harmonies and rich textures combined with graceful, engaging melodies contain echoes of Morten Lauridsen and Eric Whitacre. Ola describes his music as a lyrical mix of improvisation and classical and it has often been describe it as cinematic, evocative, and lush. Track Listing: Ubi Caritas The Spheres The Ground Sanctus (London) The Crossing Northern Lights The Lake Isle Serenity (O Magnum Mysterium) Tundra Reflections Sacred Heart.
