The sweeping melody line of Across The Vast Eternal Sky blends smoothly with a sense of symphonic chorale. The Silvestri text begins with the last words in Gjeilo's 2011 Tundra here painting a world of light. An excellent centerpiece work for high school and beyond and a sure audience pleaser! String quartet score and parts. Vocal score available separately (HL00117661).

Scenes from the composer's native Norway inspired this poem by Charles Anthony Silvestri. Barren and intensely beautiful, this Norwegian land feels sacred, a notion captured in Silvestri's lyrics. Gjeilo has created a stunning soundscape that will be a favorite of chorus. With piano accompaniment and optional string quartet (full score and string quartet parts available separately). *ERRATA NOTE: Soprano 1 starting in measure 50 is a minor third too high. Soprano 1s should sing mm. 50-end a minor third lower, starting on a G (the piece ending on an F). The sample pages here and the digital PDF reflect the corrected version. Ola Gjeilo · Kantorei: TUNDRA.

The text for Dreamweaver is based on parts of the well-known Norwegian medieval folk poem Draumkvedet, an epic ballad that has a lot in common with Dante’s The Divine Comedy. The protagonist, Olav Åsteson, falls asleep on Christmas Eve and sleeps for thirteen days. He wakes up and rides to church to describe his dreams to the congregation about his brave, beautiful, terrifying, and ultimately redeeming journey through the afterlife. For this composition, the Draumkvedet poem has been adapted into a playful interpretation in English penned by Charles Anthony Silvestri.
