Windependence Series - Master Level - Grade 4
Meridian comes very much out of the composer's love for ostinato, or groove-based, music. Other diverse influences include the World Music-infused jazz of Keith Jarrett and Jan Garbarek, as well as the symphonies of Shostakovich. This exciting and creative work is written with a consistent rhythmic drive throughout, and features a prominent role for piano. Recorded by the Pacific Lutheran University Wind Ensemble & Chorus; Ola Gjeilo, piano/Dr. Edwin Powell, conductor

[@sachionang]

This piano part is AMAZING! Played it Sophomore year in High School and I can’t get it out of my head!

[@sachionang]

Allison O hey! I usually play the opening (c-f-a) with my left hand and the ands (g-c) with my right hand

[@brandonnelsonmusic]

I love his bold coloration and harmonic sensibility. And kudos for implementing a piano part--concert band could use more of it. I don't really hear the Shostakovich, though...

Nice piece but what the heck is happening in the percussion on this recording.

Tambourine player is deaf clearly

[@Luca-gj9xn]

You are very good and Gjeilo is a real genius! My choir sang "Days of Beauty" and "The Rose" using a new arrangement and adapting the songs for male and female choir, making spectacular videos with stunning scenery and views. Write this in the search: I hope you like it! Corale Novarmonia - Days of Beauty (O. Gjeilo) SATB Choir Corale Novarmonia - The Rose (O. Gjeilo)
