Your Favourite Purchases of 2019

[Christo]

Another composer I encountered this year and enjoyed a lot but many don't is Ola Gjeilo.  My quartet was booked by a local choir to play for his "Luminous Night of the Soul" and it was a joy to do.  For sure not "challenging" music but a genuine balm to the senses and rewarding to play and perform.  And that's really all I want as a performer.  Here's a link of an American performance for those who don't know it....

Totally agree about Ola Gjeilo, he's of course the main course on our choir's menu [zero budget, just us] with Christmas, this time his Ubi Caritas I & III (Sacred Heart) and Ecce Novum:

A discussion about music soon turned into a discussion on English (the language, and words...) 

Apologies dear Springrite, yet I don't get your point exactly, apparently a matter of English again (my fourth language, never get used to it).
