Henrik Odegaard: Te Deum with 5 Poems and a Hymn by Jon Fosse

A monumental album that unites the roots of the Middle Ages with the sound world of today, composed by Henrik Odegaard and peformed by Ensemble 96, conducted by Nina T Karlsen and vocal group Vox Clamantis, led by Jaan-Eik Tulve. European art music is built on traditions spanning more than a thousand years. Yet much of its living heritage remains hidden - forgotten, silenced, or overlooked. It is in this space between past and present that composer Henrik Odegaard emerges as a rare voice: an artist who both preserves and renews. With Te Deum with 5 Poems and a Hymn by Jon Fosse, he presents one of his most ambitious and expressive works, a modern oratorio where Gregorian chant, Fosse's poetry, choral writing, organ, and horn blend into a spiritual and timeless musical universe.
