I'm so pumped to perform this with my choir omg

In the Song of the Universal, Gjeilo achieves the sound only present in the divine, amazing... Akin to Sibelius, he was listening carefully, with his heart, all of his heart, with the heart of every one of us, when God was speaking... singing our song of songs. In this music is encapsulated a truth as universal as anything ever said. This is as big as Walt Whitman, his heart, the heart of all of humanity ... Thank you for this amazing gift!

The Beauty Agaist COVID ... This Beauty... Your own Beauty, daugther af your Visions. Thank you, Ola !
