In May, 2013, composer Ola Gjeilo spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus, joining the choir in recording 4 of his pieces. This performance is from that session.
The other pieces were "Sanctus" for a cappella choir, and "Luminous Night of the Soul", accompanied by the composer at the piano and joined by the Kairos Quartet -- the resident faculty string quartet at CWU.
The final piece, "Ubi Caritas II: Through Infinite Ages", was recorded both in an unaccompanied rendition (how it is written and published) and in a version with Mr. Gjeilo improvising an accompaniment to the choir.
This was Ola's second time on CWU's campus. His first visit was in the spring of 2011 and yielded 5 videos of his music, a wide-ranging interview with the composer and other bonus material. It resulted in a DVD entitled "In the M... less

Across the Vast, Eternal Sky
Weary I fly,
Across the vast eternal Sky,
High in the heavens,
Where awaits my destiny.
Grey skies are thick'ning;
Soon now my time will come,
Time to return home
'Cross the vast eternal sky.
When I was Young
I flew in the velvet night;
Shining by day,
a firebird bathed in light!
Grey now my feathers,
which once were red and gold;
My destiny to soar up to the Sunlight!
Sunlight shines on my face;
This is my grace, to be
Restored, born again,
In flame!
Do not despair that I a... less
