Notes
The critically acclaimed, Arizona-based Phoenix Chorale originally focused on music of the Renaissance and baroque periods, but today is equally dedicated to the creation and performance of new music. On this disc the Choir performs choral works, and settings of sacred texts by the Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo. When he first heard Gjeilo's 'Ubi caritas,' Charles Bruffy was instantly hooked, finding the music 'refreshing and magnetic'. Bruffy brought Gjeilo's music to the Chorale and it's audiences, and the response was immediate. Soon after, Gjeilo was invited to be the Chorale's first Composer-in-Residence. 'Phoenix,' a setting of the Agnus Dei, is dedicated to Charles Bruffy and the Phoenix Chorale in honour of it's fiftieth anniversary. When Gjeilo first visited the choir in Arizona, he had never been to the desert before, and the 'quiet beauty and barrenness of the landscape' moved him deeply. He describes 'Phoenix' as 'symphonic in nature... one of those pieces where the text is very much the servant of the music, not the other way around'. In contrast, 'Northern Lights' takes it's inspiration from Gjeilo's homeland, Norway, and the 'terrible beauty' of the natural phenomenon that may be observed there. The music reflects the powerful and electric quality of the northern lights, which must have seemed both mesmerising and terrifying to people in the past when no one knew what they were, and superstition prevailed. The Phoenix Chorale made it's first appearance on Chandos in 2004 with 'Shakespeare in Song.' Since then it has released several recordings on the label, most notably the Grammy Winning 'Spotless Rose: Hymns to the Virgin Mary.'

After hearing a selection from this CD on the radio I wanted to hear more. The composer and the Phoenix Chorale have combined their talents to make an outstanding production. It is my recent "favorite", and I look forward to hearing more from Ola Gjeilo and the Phoenix Chorale.

The music makes pretense to, but lacks, gravitas. Its a Hallmark card of minimalism, derivative, immature and without edge.

I became aware of this composer after attending a concert of his music. He is one of the greatest composers of today in my opinion, and the Phoenix Chorale is one of the finest choral groups around. This is the cd for you if you love music at its very very best. Highly recommended.
