?Ubi Caritas II: Through Infinite Ages is a closely related sequel to my Ubi Caritas published in 2007. Re-imagining some of the same material such as the main theme from the first piece Ubi Caritas II is in one sense a more sunny version of its prequel. While Ubi Caritas II functions as an independent work it is also intended to be used in combination with the other piece for example as prelude/postlude ?bookends? perhaps yielding a sense of unity and conclusion to the concert or recording. In those cases I would usually recommend ending with Ubi Caritas II.? Ola GjeiloWatch here - CWU Chamber Choir: Gjeilo -Ubi Caritas II: Through Infinite Ages:

Second Eve by Ola Gjeilo was commissioned by dedicated to and later premiered by the Riverside City College Chamber Choir and conductor John Byun in Riverside California Oct. 2008.'In some of my pieces the text is somewhat more the servant of the music than the other way around and Second Eve is one of those works. The music is mainly inspired by a breathtaking photography taken by one of my favourite photographers Jake Rajs featured in the book These United States (Rizzoli). It is a picture of Alaska’s Mount McKinley the highest mountain peak in the US and I was looking at this photo throughout the writingprocess making sure that the energy and atmosphere of the music corresponded with the feeling I got from looking at the picture.The Sancta Maria text seemed to kind of fit into what I was looking for in this piece expressing something mystical and kind of regal which Mt. McKinley is in every possible way.' - Ola Gjeilo

(Ubi Caritas III)-Ola Gjeilo's Sacred Heart is the final of his three Ubi Caritas settings. This work is scored for SSAATTBB Choir with String Quartet. Musically independent from Gjeilo's other two Ubi Caritas settings Sacred Heart can stand alone or be performed with the two previous works. A lovely String Quartet accompaniment balances with the choir making this a stunning and peaceful adaptation of such a thoughtful text.

Ola Gjeilo has pulled from his Norwegian heritage and used the lovely Solrenning Sæle tune to set a new text by Charles Anthony Silvestri. The text speaks of winter as a time of reset; a breath before the rebirth of spring. An excellent secular work for your winter concert.

Described by Ola Gjeilo as perhaps his most personal piece Contrition sets a line of English text from George Herbert's poem Perseverance and excerpts from Psalm 101 in Latin.Contrition is here performed by the Central Washington University Chamber Choir:

This refreshing work from Ola Gjeilo employs a folk-like sound to capture Yeats' wonderfully descriptive words about the Lake Isle of Innisfree. The movement in the Piano the strumming of the Guitar and the richness of the strings work together with the voices to create the imagery of a long and pleasant journey.

Ola Gjeilo's first publication for developing voices features new lyrics by acclaimed lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri. Exploring the ideals of each of the four seasons the lyrics have been beautifully set for treble voices by the composer. Seasons is completed by a supportive Piano part and an optional Flute part that soars above. Don't miss this wonderful selection.

SATB-This work is atmospheric and intense featuring contrasts of ethereal melody lines supported by stately rich harmonies.Unified by a repeated modulated motif in the ?Hosanna? section this sensual yet spiritual Sanctus from inimitably original Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo promises to be a highlight of an advanced choir's concert or service.While not easy repetition of rhythmic and harmonic patterns coupled with the familiar Latin make this much more accessible than it appears. Completely rewarding!Watch Sanctus being performed:Duration: ca. 4:30.Performed by the Uranienborg Vokalensemble Elisabeth Holte conductor.
