New recording of the Motet from my All Hallows Mass

[Frederik Magle]

Here is a new recording of the All Hallows Mass (Allehelgen-Messe) Motet "Alting har sin tid på jorden" ("Everything has its time on earth"), performed by Lise-Marie Groll (soprano), Bennie Sanden Reebirk (organ), and Klaus Munk-Nielsen (cello):

It's a "reduced version", as the full score calls for choir as well - but it works quite well even without, I think.

Download the score here (PDF). The text is by Iben Krogsdal and can be found here (in Danish).

Kind regards,
Frederik

Frederik,

Absolutely gorgeous ... leaves me with goosebumps after listening - the soloist does an excellent delivery in tone and expression.

Was this recorded at Jørlunde Kirke?

 

[Frederik Magle]

Thank you, Lars! Indeed, I think the soprano (Lise-Marie Groll) does a very good job!

It wasn't recorded in Jørlunde though, as it's part of a new CD she releasing together with the organist in "Skelgårdskirken" in Copenhagen, Bennie Sanden Reebirk, containing French (and Danish) music for soprano and organ. Thus, it's recorded in that church. I did the recording myself, btw.

The organ is a Frobenius from 1992, and incidentally the specs happens to have been made by my old theory and composition-teacher Leif Thybo. A fine instrument in my opinion.
