Magnificent. Key Chorale loves to sing your music. Thank you Ola Gjeilo for enriching our lives.

sounds like a lively ocean with all the crisp consonants cutting through the smooth vowels, it sounds like the crest of waves. I get the best imagery from listening to your music, thank you.

This touched my soul deeply and awakened my spirit! Thank you!

Reminds me strongly to the Narnia soundtrack :) I love you!

Loving the Philip Glass vibe in this final section

Always from the pentagrams to the music!
Brano n. 2 di "SALMODIANDO"
SIRACIDE 14, 20-27
(Verses in Italian with free adaptation)
Beato l'uomo che medita sulla sapienza, 
e ragiona con l'intelligenza, 
considera nel cuore le sue vie, 
ne penetra con la mente i segreti.
La insegue come uno che segue una pista, 
si apposta sui suoi sentieri. 
Egli spia alle sue finestre 
e sta ad ascoltare alla sua porta. 
Fa sosta presso la sua casa 
e fissa un chiodo nelle sue pareti.
Presso di essa alza la tenda,
mette i propri figli sotto la sua protezione
e sotto i suoi rami soggiorna. 
Contro il caldo sarà protetto 
e in un rifugio di benessere sta. 
Egli abiterà all'ombra della sua gloria.

My "Ave Generosa" for women's choir

Lyrics: Hildegard von Bingen
Performers: Cant'Ella

Ave Generosa (Cant'Ella Women's Choir)

A warm and close mic'd solo upright piano recording,'Still', Jesse Brown's fourth release of solo piano music is similar in character to his 'Trilogy' recording where his mic technique involves an extremely close mic positioning to give you the feeling of sitting right beside him as he plays. The piano used is a rather small upright piano with the practice pedal engaged resulting in some unpredictable note releases and key clicks. Recorded in a quaint room with hardwood floors, the album opens up with "Adrift" - what was simply a warm up for recording 'Looking Back" that ended up just being too sweet to toss in the virtual trash serves as an hors d'oeuvres for the rest of this musical offering. "Floating" displays Brown's creativity at it's finest as he zigs and zags through pitch and time like a disgruntled butterfly, and "Dream" gently brings back the peace. "Stars" chimes in on track 4 with a very melodic waltz and a dreamy bridge section, and "Looking Back" finishes the recording nicely with a subtle gospel flavour and a familiar melody and groove to the EP's opening.

Arcade Fire - Crown of Love - String Quartet Cover

This re-release of orchestral suites from two stage works by Jean-Phillippe Rameau (1683-1764) marks the first occasion on which Jeanne Lamon the Tafelmusik Orchestra, Toronto's award-winning period instrument orchestra, recorded music of the French baroque.  The two suites featured on this CD are drawn from Rameau's epic five-act "tragedie en musique" Dardanus, and from the less familiar "opera-ballet" Le Temple de la Glorie.
