The first time I sung in a choir was in high school; I went to a music high school in Norway and choir was obligatory. I loved it from the very first rehearsal, and the first piece we read through was Maurice Duruflé’s Ubi Caritas. It will always be one of my favorite choral works of all time; to me, it’s the perfect a cappella piece.
So when I set the same text myself a few years later, it was inevitable that the Duruflé would influence it, and it did. While Duruflé used an existing, traditional chant in his piece, I used chant more as a general inspiration, while also echoing the form and dynamic range of his incomparable setting of the text.
I later started improvising on the piano around choirs singing the piece in performance and recording, one of which Walton published a transcription of – a YouTube video collaboration with the Central Washington University Chamber Choir.
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur.
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Christ’s love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other with a sincere heart.

From an early age he was exposed to a range of different genres of music, but he took a special liking to both jazz and classical choral music. Gjeilo began playing piano, and gneilo towards jazz improvisation. Gjeilo mainly learned music by ear, but did learn how to read music from age 7.
His keen ear enabled him to be experimental in his compositional style from a young age. His use of improvisation, jazz and classical conventions amalgamate to create some truly stunning pieces of music.
Ubi Caritas with Piano Improvisation | Ola Gjeilo
What does my teacher want me to do? What are others expecting from me? Is my music modern enough? Is it too pretty? Is it too cerebral? We get caught up in these things and distracted from the core question — what is it that I really love? This should be the benchmark of all that we composers are looking for.
It is so important in music.
So, this is the principle I work with now. I started to write more music that reflected what I listen to.
Ola Gjeilo ‘Ubi Caritas’: Let Us Rejoice!
It made me happier. I felt a lot less creative doubt, and I just began to enjoy composing in a new way. The text that is at the centre of the work can be seen below:. The text, which is related to the Eucharist, is widely known as the antiphon for the first communion, and the washing of the feet from the Mass for Maundy Thursday. The opening chant is then concluded by the soprano and alto lines coming together, solidifying the F minor key. Caitas opening chant is then presented again, but this time with all SATB in unison.
The middle section begins following a neat modulation to A major. Gjeilo creates a more jubilant atmosphere here, which can be heard through luscious harmony, accelerating tempos, and ever-expressive dynamics.
A modulation to B major is heard at the end of this middle section, which comes when the choir are singing the final jgeilo of text. Similar to the opening section, the soprano voice carries the initial melodic line.
However, instead of the voices being in unison here, they are in full SATB harmony, which is absolutely glorious. Gjeilo cleverly changes meter twice before completing the work, to prolong the tension in the final cadence. Whilst the alto caritax sustains an F tonicgjello tenor and bass voices descend in step-wise motion, with the soprano voices ascending in the same manner.
In the last two bars, the bass and soprano land on the tonic and dominant of F minor. Differently, the alto and tenor provide the concluding delayed resolution, with them eventually landing on the third and dominant of the F minor chord. Ubk email address will not be published.
