This is a work of medium difficulty, appropriate for high school, collegiate and community choirs. Commissioned by Penn High School choirs, Andrew Nemeth, Allison Secaur, Ethan Schopp, directors.

In mid-April, 2011, Ola spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus for a project in which he joined the choir in recording 3 of his compositions. On this video, Gjeilo adds an improvised accompaniment (in a one-take rendition) to his setting of the Ubi Caritas text -- which is published as an unaccompanied piece. Because of his view that improvising is a wonderful snapshot of artists "at that moment", the project was entitled "In the Moment".  less
