Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo is bringing warmth and comfort this holiday season with a new album called Winter Songs. Available here: decca.lnk.to/wintersongsID
Combining choir, piano and strings, this album reimagines beloved carols, alongside brand new compositions which evoke the spirit of winter. Christmas favourites such as ‘The First Nowell’, ‘The Holly and the Ivy’ and ‘Silent Night’ alternating with beautiful Gjeilo works such as ‘The Rose’ and ‘Ecce Novum’ - balancing the new and the familiar in perfect harmony.
Ola Gjeilo says: “I’ve always wanted to do a Christmas album and I’m so excited to get to share these winter-inspired tracks, 15 collaborations with the amazing Choir of Royal Holloway and 12 Ensemble.”
The new recording features Ola Gjeilo on piano, the Choir of Royal Holloway, and 12 Ensemble - a collection of London’s finest and most exciting chamber musicians. The conductor is Rupert Gough, Director of Choral Music and College Organist at Royal Holloway since 2005.

Can you imagine Ola and Eric Whitacre putting together their creative juices?

@jaquandajackson7752 4 года назад

Just no. I don't have the heart for it.

@@noahmoment Not at all. I do not exaggerate my claims when I say that this guy became an assembly line sell-out of a composer when he realized he could make the big bucks writing for amateur groups. In other words, his "artistry" went out the window when that pretty boy celebrity got too much publicity. No thanks, I'd rather listen to good choral music. I know many of his choral works and have played a lot as accompanist for choirs. So your knee-jerk claim that I'm uninformed is rather pretentious if I might say so. As for his instrumental, I have no opinion because I do not know them.

@hc9078 4 года назад

Joseph Pena If I may speak. I get where you’re coming from, and myself as a person, not bias, as I don’t find any reason to be. Claiming Eric is a “pretty boy sell-out” is kind of throwing it out there. His choral works are actually quite decent. He has his own flow in his work, that many people don’t understand well. I respect your opinion, it’s just that I don’t see Eric as that type of composer.

The Rose The lily has a smooth stalk, Will never hurt your hand; But the rose upon her brier Is lady of the land. There's sweetness in an apple tree, And profit in the corn; But lady of all beauty Is a rose upon a thorn. When with moss and honey She tips her bending brier, And half unfolds her glowing heart, She sets the world on fire. - Christina Rossetti

@colbymontigue4032 3 года назад

@@akrobeau The writer uses the last verse in between verse one and two as a chorus like verse, but they have written out the original text. It's common to use text this way in choral and even clssical. Gjeilo also loves using this technique often.

@@authenticmusic4815 how interesting that you apparently can aptly judge the individual perception of other listeners! Just by the way - most of Mozart's music is harmonically and rythmically simple, yet revered by many. There is more to beauty than complexity. Maybe the author of the comment is not as musically literate as you claim to be. The gist is still clear - they like what they hear. Maybe you even understood it wrong and the unfolding is meant to describe the performance, not the composition. Yet you seem to feel the urgent need to get incredibly arrogant and condescending and make everyone miserable. Think: How does that make anything better?

My choir was planning on singing this (along with Myaamia, a piece also composed by Gjeilo) for our spring concerts, but sadly those have been cancelled. I'm so happy to be singing along while I wait for fall to come! Also I appreciate the beauty of this piece, especially as an alto one, we finally can show our range and carry the melody. One of my favorite pieces by far!

@owczyniartemidy2754 4 года назад

Altos are underappreciated. When I first 'lost' my voice I was a bit sad that I could no longer sing the highest soprano parts, but now I wouldn't have changed me being in altos. Without them, pieces are... blank, we kind of give the depth to the pieces!

@user-zt7ke4bg8n 3 года назад

I'm learning this in choir right now as an alto (i'm normally a mezzo soprano with a higher range), and it's difficult to sing- but amazing to learn. I feel like this piece will also have real significance for me as my past tutor for 3 years and the head of the choir I'm in is doing this piece for us as one of the final pieces for the choir to perform before she leaves. I will miss her greatly; she taught me a lot and helped me through some really, really rough times, and I wouldn't be here today without her. Still, I'm grateful that she was a part of my life, and I'm going to put all my effort into nailing this piece!
