JULEMESSE - Missa in nativitate Domini - SØLVGUTTENE, Fredrik Otterstad, Ellen Sejersted Bødtker, Kåre Nordstoga

A new and exiting celebration of Christmas, and definitely Sølvguttene's most unique Christmas album to date. The album is a Christmas Mass, with all its regular parts, in addition to traditional Christmas carols. What makes this recording special is that we have chosen to sing chants from various composers, while it's normal to sing a whole mass from the same composer. We wanted to reveal how different composers from different periods of time have interpreted the same words. The music covers a range of over 1000 years, from Benedictus which is from the 10th century to Kjell Mørk Karlsen's and Wolfgang Plagge's compositions from our time. 

Music and arrangements by Per Steenberg, Kjell Mørk Karlsen, Wolfgang Plagge, Michael Praetorius, Melchior Vulpius, Samuel Scheidt, Fredrik Otterstad, Kjell Mørk Karlsen, Michael Praetorius, Eyvind Alnæs, Ellen Sejersted Bødtker, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Edvard Grieg, Antonio Lotti, César Franck, Torstein Grythe, Arild Sandvold and Benjamin Britten.
