Ave Maria SATB div. Performed by Musicanova Chamber Choir, Indonesia

Under the direction of Kenneth Dake, the Marble Choir presents "its about love," a collection of hymns, spirituals, and modern Sacred masterpieces that will uplift your spirit and make your heart sing!

The essence of choral singing is about love - about harmonizing with another, about breathing as one, about bringing our best self and then surrendering it for the beauty of the collaborative whole.

Listening to choral music is also about love - about opening up the heart to receive a precious gift, about bathing one's soul in sound, about hearing deeply those truths that lie beyond language.

04-SABIÁ, CORAÇÃO DE UMA VIOLA

Ola Gjeilo’s (1978–) music occupies similar territory to that of Whitacre and Lauridsen, nonetheless displaying considerable harmonic individuality and variation. Tota pulchra es is a fifth-century Roman Catholic prayer venerating Mary as innocent and free from sin. The piece opens with a plagal cadence and after a few bars begins to twist kaleidoscopically through several keys, lending the music energy and momentum. Gjeilo avoids an over-obvious reading of the text; a passage describing Mary’s clothes as white as snow and her face as radiant as the sun, for example, is set in A flat minor.

SCHOLA CANTORUM / Tone Bianca Sparre Dahl: Hymn to the Virgin (2L-095-SABD)
Thomas Aquinas writes in the Summa Theologica: "Music is the exaltation of the mind derived from things eternal, bursting forth in sound." The quotation most aptly describes the repertoire on the Norwegian chamber choir Schola Cantorum's recording of hymns to Mary, the Mother of God, in which tranquillity, eternity and ‘bursting forth into sound’ are encountered in many different guises.

The composers represented here have often chosen to allow their music to evolve in stable structures and remain within static harmonic spaces even when the music becomes expressive and dramatic: Benjamin Britten, Francis Poulenc, Maurice Duruflé, Eric Whitacre, Morten Lauridsen, Martin Ødegaard, Kjell Mørk Karlsen, Anton Bruckner, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Arvo Pärt, Ola Gjeilo, Andrew Smith and Trond Kverno.

Throughout its existence the chamber choir Schola Cantorum has had high ambitions. The choir has built up an international reputation and has made it a trademark to include newly written music in its programmes. This is thanks to the work of Knut Nystedt (1915–), organist, composer and conductor, who returned to Norway in 1964 after studying in the USA and started a choir at the music department of the University of Oslo. The choir continues to recruit members from the department of music, as well as from the Norwegian Academy of Music in more recent years.

Tone Bianca Sparre Dahl trained as a singer and pianist and specialized in the Kodaly method in Hungary before taking her diploma exam in choral conducting at the Norwegian Academy of Music. She has directed Schola Cantorum since 2002.
