Megan McCormick is the soprano soloist on this video. • ABOUT THE COMPOSER: • Ola Gjeilo (pronounced Yay-lo) was born in Norway in 1978, and moved to the United States in 2001 to begin his composition studies at the Juilliard School in New York City. • Ola’s concert works are performed all over the world, and his debut recording as a pianist-composer, the lyrical crossover album Stone Rose, was followed by its 2012 sequel, Piano Improvisations. Many of Ola’s choral works are featured on Phoenix Chorale’s bestselling Northern Lights album, which is devoted entirely to his music for choir. All three albums are available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc. • A full-time concert music composer based in New York City, Ola is also very interested in film, and his music often draws inspiration from movies and cinematic music. • Ola’s choral works are published by Walton Music, wind band works by Boosey Hawkes, and piano pieces by Edition Peters. • For more information, please visit olagjeilo.com, or find Ola on Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, Instagram, and at his YouTube channel. • ABOUT THE CHOIR: • The CWU Chamber Choir is the premiere choir at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. The choir is widely known through its YouTube video presence. Since 2009, the choir has held annual recording sessions to create videos specifically designed for YouTube. All are under the baton of Dr.Gary A. Weidenaar, who has been the director of the choir since 2006 • As of 2015, there are more than 25 CWU Chamber Choir videos. Eleven of those feature the music of Ola Gjeilo and are the result of working with Mr. Gjeilo in 3 recording sessions over a 5 year period. The choir has videos of Gjeilo’s Sanctus, Across the Vast Eternal Sky, Contrition, Luminous Night of the Soul, Dark Night of the Soul, the Ground, Ubi Caritas I and II, and Northern Lights. • Ola’s first visit was in the spring of 2011 and yielded 5 videos of his music, a wide-ranging interview with the composer and other bonus material.
