It’s been five months since I’ve performed this song at the spring choir concert I love this song so much 😢
This song just resonates to my whole being. I can’t help but shed some tears
Found out I got into the bachelor of vocal music education at My University and this is a great song to celebrate🥺
Congratulations!! Hope you exceed your dreams!
mosart Thank you so much. I hope you exceed your dreams as well. I also love how you used the word exceed, it’s subtle but means a lot💕💖❤️💛
Yes it is! Congrats. We need people like you to pursue your music goals and keep it alive for our youth and communities - especially after how terrible the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the classical music world :(
Mike Ring Thank you and I agree! The arts definitely need more funding overall and Covid is definitely going to take a toll :(
And God said, "Let there be beauty," and there was music..
Raymundus Leonardo Amen!!!! Well said
Aaaaawww, lovely 😏
try Sissel's 'like an angel passing through my room" if you like this sort of thing
But satan invented the cough
@@seesritual8990 laughing out loud!
I don't know about you guys, but I am very much missing live classical music in concert halls, bands on stages, theatre productions, and beautiful works sung like this one in churches.
I totally relate.
instablaster...
Agreed
I love O Fortuna. It's a prayer to the goddess, in a way. It's lamenting fate.
It's been three years, but you still can't find a recording of this particular piece on (my go-to) Spotify, so thank you for keeping this on TH-cam.
Ola Gjeilo's music as the power of the human spirit, it lifts me from depression to the light. Thank you sir!
....tears falling from my eyes while listening to this piece...thoughts flying far...far away!
This piece compels a listener to contemplate the Universal Christ, with ears, mind, heart, and soul!
I sang in a composition that included a bass and tenor line a few years ago (I myself a bass II at the time) and it was eye watering. Beautiful. To this day when I quietly do the bass line over this song it gives me goose bumps...
At the end of the "king's choice" movie 2016, TREMENDOUSLY BEAUTIFUL !!!
We worked with Ola last year and I got to talk to him and his (very) lovely girlfriend. They are both very kind, friendly, down-to-earth people who I really enjoyed getting to know. I'm anxious to work with him again both because of his beautiful music and his great personality.
you are very lucky indeed
I have already supposed that the both are really very nice people, modest, friendly, simply nice.
Come, said the Muse,
Sing me a song no poet yet has chanted,
Sing me the Universal.
In this broad Earth of ours,
Amid the measureless grossness and the slag,
Enclosed and safe within its central heart,
Nestles the seed Perfection.
By every life a share, or more or less,
None born but it is born-conceal’d or unconceal’d, the seed is waiting.
Give me, O God, to sing that thought!
Give me-give him or her I love, this quenchless faith
In Thy ensemble. Whatever else withheld, withhold not from us,
Belief in plan of Thee enclosed in Time and Space;
Health, peace, salvation universal.
All, all for Immortality!
Love, like the light, silently wrapping all!
Nature’s amelioration blessing all!
The blossoms, fruits of ages-orchards divine and certain;
Forms, objects, growths, humanities, to spiritual Images ripening.
- Walt Whitman
Thank you Frjim T !! :-))
È nellissima
Mr. Gjeilo continues to amaze me. He melds old classical with modern and soulful thought. A whole new level!
Mrs.
Ola! You blow me away with your music. Absolutely divine and soul grabbing! Thank you for being!
I heard this on the radio this morning on the way to the coffee shop so I could work on my thesis that I am writing on... Walt Whitman! I guess it's a sign to dig in to my work today!
I'm so happy I will have a chance to sing it next month. :))
This draws at my heartstrings
*picks up jaw off the floor*
my senior select choir competed with this piece during our national competition run back in 2019, and i always find myself coming back to it. truly amazing.
All the chills
Beauty. I love all of you, my fellow travelers.
The ending is epic!
It is more than epic. It has a joy that seems above the world.
With A GOOD CELESTIAL HEART , ... and MUSIC , ... in a New Year 2022!
My Gratitude!🌹💕
Incredibly beautiful! Ola Gjeilo is truly inspired!
Beautiful music and beautiful photos, very moving poem by Walt Whitman. Thanks for sharing.
thank you .. how beautiful and so what the world needs.. protection for all animals and humans to get it right beginning with the right music.
This one takes me to another place.. escape! Unlimited possibilities and adventures but with perfect oeace attending...fearless in the face of changes..and yes, utter contentment...trusting HIM...
4:05, and 7:41 are my favorite parts, just imagine a celestial battle with this music!! EPIC!
Thank you so much for sharing this. He is one of the greatest contemporary composers, his music is balm to the soul.
Authentic celestial music!
Only music like this can express the inexpressible Thank you for being such a voice,
Wondrous
Elle est trop belle💖💖😘😘
A wonderful rendition of the music of one of my favourite modern composers.
Margaret Magor I definitely see why he is, mine too
Shoutout to that one guy who coughed in the beginning. Way to go, pal 👏🙄
Ahahahaha i thought i was the only one who heard it lol
we now have masks for the purpose of stifling coughs in music performance
I have already supposed that the both are truly very nice people. Modest, friendly, simply nice.
Vakkert musik! Tusen Takk Ola! It's like entering heaven!
This is one of my favorite peice of Ola Gjeilo
During listen this song, my soul flying in clouds, thank you, producer :-)
Ola is so talented! It is always good to have another great composer gracing us with important stuff.
Merry Christmas!
Thank You ,for beautiful Winter Songs!
요번에 연주하게 되서 들으러 왔어요
곡이 웅장 장엄하고 너무 좋네요 잘 들을께요 감사합니다❤
No words! Tears!
Its beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
So so beautiful...one of my favorite modern pieces
Awesome!!!
Blown away by this incredible music.
truly sublime, what a gift!
I love this composer. Beautiful piece.
I'm crying!!!
I just came across this by chance, what a lovely piece!
Brano magnifico su testo bellissimo. Grazie per aver dato vita a questo incanto.
WOW just...WOW!
marvelous!!
Beautiful!
this is amazing,
I am indeed looking through a NEW LENS at cues from the LORD...this song is outstanding.. as well as geographic in character...
Hi, I'm back like 7 yes later and now I cant stop listening to 7:42
Sehr schön...Danke
This one is my favorite today...
wow. just so powerful
I agree.
I've been there! It's incredible. There are no mountains where I live, so to be suddenly surrounded by huge mountains stretching into the sky was surreal.
Mike, thank you for this lovely gift to us! It was so wonderful to see your pictures and the words of Whitman as the music plays.
Blessings! Robert Cornell
Thanks Robert! But the real gift is not from me - but from Ola Gjeilo :)
“Come,” said the muse.
This song is playing at 12:34...the LORD has quickened me at 11:11 and 12:12 as well...Praise GOD! in JESUS name! Thank YOU! LORD! We are in HIS TIME....KAIROS.....
Vakkert!
And, two of them know where I've been..I really want to be sensitive about the whole mess...but you know someone has to stop LOOKING AWAY...
So pretty... We're singing this in choir - 39 pages long haha
It only seems that long because of the way choral scores are printed.
It's probably--like--7-10 pages for the other instruments.
At least we probably won't have to memorize the whole thing!
Its so beautiful...
Hi Kyndall! :)
Kyndall Thompson Haha I looked this up after the concert because it's so pretty.
No actually there are only 2 pages without voice- its a very long song
Ours is 54 pages
Reminds me of an finished version of final song at "gabriellas sång" at the Theater at the end.
Anybody else notice the tempo lag in the beginning? Still sounds amazing regardless! Great tone ladies
Yes. It was pulling my brain to hear the dysfunction, and I had to stop listening.
the most iconic cough
That cough though @ 0:30
It diminishes the quality of the recording. You can find a better version on youtube and amazon (see album Magnificat).
Ola, among many other giftings..you are a Geographical Composer/Artist/Landscaper....
Check out the Sheldon high school performing this song!! We put in a lot of effort into it, hope u enjoy! 😊😊😊
Came here from INFJ Moment. It always makes me cry for some reason
You are very good and Gjeilo is a truly genius! My choir sang "The Rose" and "Days of Beauty" with new arrangements, both adapting for mixed choir, with male and female voices and making spectacular videos! We were able to reach the same Gjeilo who was thrilled. Write this in the search: you will surely like them!
Corale Novarmonia - The Rose (O. Gjeilo)
Corale Novarmonia - Days of Beauty (O. Gjeilo) SATB Choir
7:41
Credits song for The King's Choice or Kongens nei
Ola Gjielo, the discerning person's Christopher Tin.
Ditto for all the wonderful comments about the music. I think Mike deserves kudos for the wonderful photographs and their (and the lyrics') presentation. I'm curious about the general location(s). South America?
Hi. Yes, a lot of the pictures were from Peru but some were also from Yosemite Nat' Park.
Vacuum...praying for a miracle in JESUS name! Thank YOU! LORD!
there is a better version of this song without the coughing, it's done by Trondheimsolistene, on the album Magnificat, a great recording.
+Ilias Music Thank you SO MUCH for the recommendation. What a superb album!
@Ilias Music I just looked it up, that is a better recording, thanks!
GOD IS IN CONTROL...that's enough...HIS WILL, HIS PLAN..HIS TIMIMG in JESUS name! Thank YOU! LORD!
Erick has been purposely left in the dark here and really not wanted...pray about @ calling and clarifying. or you might want to just meet in person. I introduced your music to him...he plays piano and loves it...that's how GOD favored me with him...
Never heard of this composer before. Thank you for the upload. Are the photographs taken in the High Andes?
Machu Picchu, around Peru, Yosemite Nat Park, a few other parks and hikes in the west. I travel a lot!
@@mikeringmusic21 And I'm sure I saw a picture of Art Hill, the name of the hill in front of the St Louis Art Museum, no?
@@jeanneely2413 Yes that's right! Very random photograph.
What is song name at 1.20
"Joy of Painting" in Tönen (will jetzt nicht 'Musik' sagen ...).
Where is this landscape located? Probably USA, but where?
A wonderful piece indeed. But in this recording I get the impression that the choir is always a bit behind the music in terms of tempo. But maybe that this is even meant to be?
Ephesians 4:16 in JESUS name! Thank YOU! LORD! I will follow you...
I love this piece of music but why is there no good performance of it on TH-cam? On this recording there almost seems to be a time lag between the various groups of performers. The sound quality is horrendous. This work deserves better.
This link will take you to a wonderful album called "Magnificat." At the very end it has "The Song of the Universal." I believe it is performed in Norway. I trust you will find it a very clear, crisp recording done by very fine musicians. music.th-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_nOM486qO0SzFnDS-6_UAmnqXLanJdi2iM.html
Is the font Papyrus?
+Ann Skinner looks like it!
Ann Skinner one year late, but yes it is!
Metoo
Unbelieveable ...complex, vibrating, inspirational, maby with delicate chinese inspirations ?
I don't see this as a choir piece. This is a sweeping orchestral piece, apparently meant as background music for a nature documentary. Then there's some voices sort of humming along. Even in this recording, you can't understand a word of the poetic Whitman - and I have the choir part in front of me. This is a dull, repetitive mess of a piece but I wouldn't by any stretch call this a song.
FYI today former pastors reconnected with me on FB...THEY ARE A WONDERFUL CLEAN UP CREW..you might not call them "Higher Level"..but they are a lot higher than you think.
.
Vladi, the JOY of the LORD is your strength...that's scripture...do you want to.miss the Fullnes of the Life HE has given to Satisfy you with fulfilled promises because you just went through a "fiery trial" and you made it to the other side without "lightening"?...Come on...look up and smile...uour REDEMPTOON DRAWETH NIGH...scripture says your latter days will be far greater than the former.. something to enjoy in the present (don't miss your present!!!! Its here!!!!) ENJOY! Your present!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
People with coughs should STAY HOME
man, whoever was coughing should have been shown the door
Your label is MWWTW because the LORD said, you were WELL WORTH THE WAIT...HE should know...
Saai, zoooooooooo saai. Ik viel in slaapBoring, soooooooooooo boring, I felt asleep…...
