Norwegian Sanctus
Norwegian Sanctus is sacral music based on crossover-work that traces its sources to hymn texts (in latin) and melodic formulas that is believed to be the first music performed in the Nidaros Cathedral created by Norwegians. (Fingergullofficiet and Rex Olavus/ ”Olavsmusikken”).
The work is in the form of a Mass. The composer, Terje Bjørklund is known as the Father of the Jazz Department at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's Music Department in Trondheim. Mr. Bjørklund has for the Norwegian Sanctus been inspired by the opportunities of the musicians to use modern technology (sampling and electronics) and improvisation. The concert is expected to be an exciting meeting between the generations where tradition meets modernity.
The TrondheimSoloists chamber orchestra has established an excellent international reputation with its members consisting of young, talented musicians, some still students. Reviews praise the orchestra’s youthful freshness and vibrant musical joy and enthusiasm. Starting autumn 2002, the cellist Øyvind Gimse has been the artistic director of the TrondheimSoloists.
Trondheim Voices is a vocal group that features talented musicians and soloists with roots in the internationally recognized Jazz Department at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's Music Department. Over the last few years the department has specialized in vocal jazz. Trondheim Voices create their own special sound universe when they perform traditional compositions and collective improvisations, and when they use modern approaches.
