Ola Gjeilo: SUNRISE MASS

SUNRISE MASS with Bel Canto Choir Vilnius, Sofia Vokalensemble, the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, and Egidijus Kaveckas.

[@elizabethfletcher6029]

Performing this glorious mass with my local choir this month. What joy to sing this harmonious and wonderful work by brilliant composer Ola Gjeilo.

[@andre26071955]

The choir i am singing 2nd bass in is practicing it now for performance in the beginning of 2025...

[@aurorebrare4917]

Me encanta haberlo cantado hace 5 anos : Verdadera maravilla !!!! Un plaisir incommensurable: La vie qui nait dans le chaos des éléments et tout se met en place , magnifiques notre vie , notre planète, notre destin dans le mystère du sacré ...

[@GubaKornel]

A true masterpiece. This shows why Ola Gjeilo is my favourite contemporary composer. I can completely empathise with his musical world.

[@user-ho9uu4gm2v]

I contend that Ola Geiglo is the finest living composer of choral music. The choir I am a member of (Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada), takes great delight singing his pieces.

[@annemariem5084]

Dan Forrest is up there as well. I've sung both this piece and Forrest's Jubilate Deo

[@tarisio1]

Both are just marvelous. @@annemariem5084

[@richardtaylor2893]

This music restores me, simply beautiful. For those in need of this tranquility, may I also recommend Te Deum by Arvo Part. Although probably familiar already to most of you.

[@j5555785]

Agreed

[@ericbergmueller2981]

I want to agree but there is Erik’s Esenvalds.

[@lealins8346]

27:45 always gives me chills. Performed with my best friend and we alwasy used to practice in tunnels and old churches singing in alto and soprano, just a beautiful magical friendship moment that lives in my heart forever❤

[@heddwyn3914]

How wonderful 🙏

[@badila7665]

Una maravilla. El estilo inconfundible de este gran compositor. Tuve el gran placer de cantar una de sus obras en un pequeño coro de barrio. : UBI CARITAS

[@user-fs6ge5rx4x]

Our choir performed this piece at our first concert this season, and I couldn't be more happy. Our audience was AMAZED with how beautiful the music was. Thank you for writing such an incredible mass. The imagery in the orchestration and voices is just perfect.

[@natiknatik1190]

Коли я слухаю подібні творіння,то я наче піднімаюсь над землею,спостерігаю за буденним життям людей. І відчуваю що весь цей рух і поспіх в щоддених проблемах є такими дрібницями! Цей музичний дух, справжнього і вічного, нагадує про істині цінності життя .❤

[@alenasandova6897]

This song was the first thing I heard from you. It was in 2014 in Prague (Rooke chapel choir). I've been looking for and listening to your songs ever since. And I also share with people with my choir. Thank you from the bottom of my heart....

[@chtidede]

Cette musique vient du ciel, c'est un enchantement, honte à ceux qui préfèrent les bruits de bottes et le son des canons qui viennent de l'enfer.. Amour, Joie et Paix. face à la haine, la tristesse et la guerre. 🇺🇦😢 A. R.

[@catherinenicol6671]

Merci beaucoup pour ce post😊🍀🙏

[@jclaireguillon2039]

Oui, de tout mon coeur

[@brucejaves7975]

A modern classic. The sound of optimism for days tinged with despair. Thank you for sharing

[@hennievavanaswegen9392]

Even more so because of madman Putin

[@DMLand]

The two singers checking in with each other at 9:30 makes me so happy. I am learning this peace for a May 21 concert, and from about 8:30 onward, this piece lifts me off the ground. So glorious.

[@josu1961]

I know the concert already happened haha, but how was it? In my choir, we are preparing it for June 9,10, and 11. :)

[@alanburnham9832]

Great performance of a fabulous, inspiring composition.

[@larrymiller4]

Beautifully done, again. If possible, better than the previous version. God bless and keep the people of Lithuania.

[@seunaluz]

No tengo palabras para describir lo que siento escuchándola. Simplemente grandiosa y maravillosa

[@raymerrington607]

Wonderfully immersed choir. Love the swinging (dancing) altos.

[@annemielamon]

we are studying your work! Performance in may in Mechelen, Belgium! Beautiful work!

[@maxwelliacono3725]

Just performed this at Carnegie Hall with Dr. Eric Posada as the Maestro. It was the best choral experience I’ve ever had.

[@catherinenicol6671]

Une immense ovation pour vous tous 🙏👍💙🙏

[@leahhess6778]

I can't wait to learn this during my next Spring Season!

[@kathrynrobertson645]

Sublime. Food for the soul.

[@user-kg4jj2ry3f]

Thank You! We're singing this tonight !! I find your version so beautiful, and your conducting is very clear :)

[@DRvS]

Wow! Beautiful ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️🇵🇱

[@basedbyzantine]

We're playing this in the IUP symphony this semester.

[@heddwyn3914]

Listening again after a few turbulent months, tears were spontaneous at exactly the same place...the beautiful chords from 25:18

[@chiufranz]

I love the concept of using the traditional mass text but using the non-religious title. The harmony both contains traditional and modern impress me so much.

[@bonaventure1st]

Wonderful and inspiring!! Amazing performance!

[@carlapereira8487]

Quanta inspiração, gostaria de saber como elas acontecem, são tão belas, sei que há estudo e o dom nato envolvidos, mas acredito que além disto exista o sobrenatural! Long life to Ola Gjeilo, we need more like this!

[@azuza123456]

Some of my best high-school memories come from the songs you've wrote. And I see I'm not alone.

[@ListlessSpectre]

Proof that life has beautiful offerings if you just take the time to listen.

[@ULTRAWINNIE]

thank you . beautiful.

[@dylannemeth12]

gorgeous

[@opusrosae8560]

Magnifique 💖

[@mariawiechowska927]

Beautiful ♥️

[@MrGdleff]

Amazing piece...... amazing choir ...... conducting and composing at formost !!!!!!

[@multichannel5739]

such an inspiration! Braviii!

[@susannestechow]

This composition is so heavenly beautiful, so touching... I will tell my sister about Mr. Gjeilo's compositions. She is a musician herself and leads a church choir near Berlin. She has the possibility to order the music books at the internet, if she wantsvto perform something. But she has to ask Mr. Gjeilo if that is ok.Perhaps it is necessary.

[@anthonyfernandez9635]

C'est si beau, Merci.

[@akiradesmondparusa5175]

😭👏👏👏

[@dirkvanhees2412]

👌

[@rifelaw]

The choir of St. Mark's Cathedral, Salt Lake City, will be singing "Ubi Caritas" for Maundy Thursday.

[@OlaGjeilo]

Fantastic, thank you! ❤️

[@rifelaw]

For those interested, it will be livestreamed on the Cathedral's KZbin channel tomorrow night at 7:00 Mountain: kzbin.info/door/48Rk0PmGRSq-i4wB38lWpA

[@bridgeburnersmafia3148]

Excellent! Thank you Ola Gjeilo and thank you Vilnius, Sofia and Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra! Why are some of the women wearing red and some wearing black?

[@thomashamela612]

🥰

[@basedbyzantine]

Est pulchrissime!

[@miekedewaele4551]

hemelse muziek

[@danminhsonlangdu]

[@carolinefewkes7050]

The setting is lovely. I just think, maybe, the Gloria isn't very 'glorious'...

[@JonathanBrown1]

Nice. Thanks! But choir needs to learn to nail those openings.

[@philippebertram7769]

Cette messe recourt au latin : mais qui en comprend encore la civilisation, à savoir les limites ? Le latin confond l'absolu et le relatif. Par exemple "très beau" et "le plus beau" s'y traduisent de la même façon. A mon avis beaucoup trop de commentaires de cette "très belle oeuvre" la signalent comme "la plus belle" (qu'ils aient entendue). On est pourtant très loin, ce me semble, des Magnificat de Vivaldi ou de Bach. Le problème de KZbin, c'est que la moins mauvaise monnaie y chasse la meilleure... Quand on regarde la partition des violons, on s'aperçoit qu'elle ressemble à des exercices améliorés pour apprendre le violon ! C'est à mon avis l'exploit extraordinaire de cette messe : remplacer les exercices barbants de l'étude du violon par des exercices aussi efficaces, mais beaucoup moins barbants. Peut-être cette messe va-t-elle décupler les violonistes : ce serait peut-être un pas de géant pour la paix de l'humanité ! Mais de là à se pâmer (même si le résultat final est très bon), il y a un sentimentalisme globishamerloque qui m'échappe un peu : inculture musicale du grand public ?

[@ChadOhman92]

How the hell did the conductor allow choristers not to use black choir folders? It's incredibly distracting and completely unprofessional. Completely reprehensible for a reference recording.

[@kleintheresienhilfswerk_KTHW]

Musik so himmlisch - Augen schließen und Friede dem Herzen!

[@raymerrington607]

Choirmaster not conductor. Mixture typically today folders, scores, Ipads.

[@mrsstrople]

Valid, but I don't find it distracting considering all the moving lights in the background anyways haha
