Summary:
Decca Classics is proud to release one of Ola's most-loved choral albums on CD. Ola Gjeilo is one of the most frequently performed composers in the choral world. An accomplished pianist, improvisations over his own published choral pieces have become a trademark of his collaborations. Although Norwegian by birth, it is perhaps Ola's adopted country of America that has influenced the composer's distinctive soundworld the most, evolving a style that is often described as cinematic and evocative, with a lush, harmonious sound.
