About this album

Like all other late-baroque composers I am helplessly taken by the renaissance period which embraced the floruit of the magnificent choral composing… but I am a very late baroque composer…

In my ears the music of composers like Guillaume Dufay, Johannes Ockeghem, Josquin Desprez, Jacob Hobrecht, Cipriano di Rore and their contemporaries and immediate followers becomes the ideal of what choral music is all about. This music is to me old school in the best meaning of that word. I myself am writing choral music as I hear it in my imagination of how the music of the16. century would sound if it was written today. My music is renaissance music reloaded.

I’m occasionally working on two larger choral works: a Magnificat and a Mass - the two major genres in liturgical musical in the 16. century.
The former is a quite unusual approach to the traditional Magnificat genre where I focus on the fear and feelings of loss and falling apart of all known values which appear when a new life enters the world. The first wo parts are finished and already performed (Magnificat I + II). The latter will be a large scale contribution to the great mass tradition of the renaissance - the symphony of those days. I have completed a Kyrie, a Credo, a Sanctus, a Graduale and a Lux Aeterna so far. Kyrie and Credo haven’t been performed yet.
