Nordstrand Kirkekor - Tu Solus Dominus - motetter
Tu Solus Dominus – Motets
Works by Trond Kverno, featuring: Nordstrand Church Choir (conductor: Terje Kvam), Arnfinn Haram (liturgist) plus a larger instrumentarium.
COMPLETORIUM is one of the church's liturgies of the hours. Liturgies of the hours originated in the monasteries in the early Middle Ages, and served as the monks' everyday service. This form of worship was very simple, and was formed somewhat differently depending on the time of day it was held.
This version of the liturgy is an attempt to make the Liturgies of the hours accessible to the youth of the 70s.
TROND KVERNO's music is characterized by a broad range of instruments that were at his disposal at the Risøya summer college in 1974. His ability to dress his melodies in an interesting and distinctive harmonic suit became well known from many previous works, and is further emphasized in "Tu solus Dominus".
Recorded in Ris Church.
Produced by Per Inge Almås.
