Orchestral Accompaniment Score-This spiritual extended work uses the liturgical Latin text. The four movements bring us on a metaphysical journey from the heavens to earth from the echo of ?The Spheres? (Kyrie) to ?Identity & The Ground? (Sanctus) with its earthly themes. Neither expressly sacred nor secular this is an exquisite work for advanced high school level and beyond. Available separately: SSAATTBB String Orchestra (Full Score and Parts) String Orchestra (Full Score only). Duration: ca. 32:00.

The Spheres is a wind band version of Ola Gjeilo mass for choir and string orchestra entitled Sunrise. The piece is built around a five-note chorale theme and the opening section features an overlapping fade-in/fade-out effect meant to give a sense of floating in space as if surrounded by stars and planets. A stunning composition from an exciting new voice in the band world Ola Gjeilo. Dur: 5:20
