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 released in 2007. That Our Lady is “the matter of sanctity” appears to have struck him, too. 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.

(Those better in music theory than I can correct me in the comments - please!) Note the uplifting harmonic effect he produces on the very line that I have underlined in the text. Gjeilo’s composition is modal (albeit with modulations throughout), like Saint Hildegard’s chant, hence his copious use of so many accidentals in a piece that looks as if it would be in C major or A minor. It’s refreshing to find that real art still exists. He is one of several who are writing good sacred music in our day. I tripped on this whilst acquainting myself with a modern setting of the first stanza of Saint Hildegard’s piece by the Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo (pron. Ubi Caritas et amor Deus ibi est Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor Christi amor Exsultemus et in ipso jucundemur Timeamus et amemus deum vivum Exsultemus et in ipso jucundemur Timeamus et. Ubi Caritas et amor Deus ibi est Congregavit nos in unum Christ amor. You Maiden are the piercing gaze of chastity, The Lyrics for Ubi Caritas by Ola Gjeilo have been translated into 1 languages. Hail, nobly born, hail, honored and inviolate,

My point is made in the first stanza, with the pertinent words here underlined: Here is a parallel Latin-English version online.

The piece is her Ave Generosa, which you can listen to here:Īttend to the text. One point that I was trying to make in the piece I published yesterday, Who is the Matrix?, is wonderfully made in a sacred hymn composed by Saint Hildegard (popularly called Hildegard von Bingen).
