En Kör: Second Eve (Ola Gjeilo)

En Kör performs Second Eve written by Ola Gjeilo. Recorded in Olaus Petrikyrkan in Stockholm mars 1, 2022
Second Eve is inspired by a photograph taken by one of Geilo’s favourite Photographers, Jake Race, of Alaska’s Mount McKinley, the highest mountain peak in the US. The music was written to express the mystical and regal feeling of the mountain. At the same time, Second Eve is very much driven by the Sancta Maria text.

Lyrics
Sancta Maria, Regina caeli,
Dulcis et pia, o mater Dei:
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Ut cum electis videamus.
Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum:
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
Et benedictus fructus ventris tui,
Iesus Christus. Amen.
English translation:
Holy Mary, Queen of heaven,
gentle and holy, mother of God:
pray for us sinners,
that with the chosen we may see you.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you:
blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus Christ. Amen.

Gjeilo was inspired by a large photo of Denali. The soaring sopranos really bring that out. Just a spectacular composition, and beautiful performance. I'm amazed there haven't been more recordings of this published.
