Ola Gjeilo captures Christ and all the wonders of his creation in music. It's exquisite.

Amazing...

We're singing this is my college Masterworks Choir class, and I absolutely love it! I'm singing low bass, and the chords are just so gorgeous. I especially love Sunrise and The City! Thanks so much for your work on this piece, I really enjoy it!

@floatingposeidon are you guys singing it with another school? Because our high school is singing this with a college coming up soon.

[floatingposeidon]

@oliviachloexyz Not that I know of. I know our professor is hiring some of the TSO to play with us, but other than that, I don't think so. What college, might I ask?

[oliviachloexyz]

@floatingposeidon I think our instructor said Rochester college is the group we will be performing with.

[BlastDarren]

@oliviachloexyz In Oxford Michigan perchance? Because I am as well. This is a very lovely song. My favorite is the Tenor line in the Sunrise Movement. Its so much fun to sing.

[oliviachloexyz]

@BlastDarren Yes! Oxford! tomorrow evening with an all day rehearsal before, correct?

[BlastDarren]

@oliviachloexyz Correct. We had a wonderful rehearsal today. I'm a first tenor from Grand Haven. Tomorrow should prove... "interesting". If you happen to see me give a hollar I'm going to be the kid in the "greyish" jacket with a hood. Can't wait till tomorrow

@BlastDarren OH MY GOSH!! I played in the orchestra at that performance, one of the two students, from Oxford. I loved this music so much

Thank you for such inspirit music!!!

[futtsbutt]

This truly gives me insight into life itself. I can feel a consciousness and a connection to the human soul, as if directly connecting to our Creator. Music has done that for me. I have felt the Grace of God, of Allah, of the Supreme Being, the one who gave us life and music to enjoy. I feel The Presence more in music than by sitting in a church pew. Thank You Mr. Gjeilo; your gifted mind and soul's connection to the harmonious vibrations given to us, You have allowed me to feel God's presence.
