— O Sapientia, quae ex ore Altissimi prodiisti, attingens a fine usque ad finem, fortiter suaviterque disponens omnia: veni ad docendum nos viam prudentiae.

— O Adonai, et Dux domus Israel, qui Moysi in igne flammae rubi apparuisti, et ei in Sina legem dedisti: veni ad redimendum nos in brachio extento.

— O Radix Jesse, qui stas in signum populorum,super quem continebunt reges os suum,quem Gentes deprecabuntur:veni ad liberandum nos, jam noli tardare.

— O Clavis David, et sceptrum domus Israel; qui aperis, et nemo claudit; claudis, et nemo aperit: veni, et educ vinctum de domo carceris, sedentem in tenebris, et umbra mortis.

— O Oriens, splendor lucis aeternae, et sol justitiae: veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris, et umbra mortis.

— O Rex Gentium, et desideratus earum, lapisque angularis, qui facis utraque unum: veni, et salva hominem, quem de limo formasti.

— O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum:veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.

In 2004 I was the twenty-third composer to be commissioned by Martein Fridriksson and the Reykjavik Cathedral choir for their annual “Soli Deo Gloria” festival. I wrote Advent Antiphons for them—a setting of the Great O Antiphons which are sung before the Magnificat over seven days before Christmas. The texts were not designed to be sung all at once, but I have set them here in this way, in a concert setting. The beginning of the plainsong melody appears in different guises at the beginning of each antiphon, and the free voices in the third and fifth antiphon imitate the voices of birds—something that to me reflects Cantus Arcticus a beautiful concerto for taped birdsong and orchestra by the Finnish composer Eino Rautavaara which I love. I was fortunate enough to go to Reykjavik for five days to rehearse and conduct the first performance, and to experience the warmth of the people there, and the beautiful and unique landscape.

MUSICA IN ME – Guido Calliero

Normalmente non siamo soliti trattare artisti che fanno cover. Per inclinazione ci interessa di più la creatività degli inediti, perché di solito riescono a rappresentare meglio la personalità dei musicisti. Dietro un’opera originale c’è lo sviluppo di un pensiero, c’è un percorso di ricerca, un lavoro di costruzione quasi artigianale che parte dal nulla e arriva al prodotto finito dopo…

'The Shepherd's Carol' by Bob Chilcott may well be the most astonishing example of modern carol-writing, composed for the 2000 Festival of Lessons and Carols at King's. Chilcott, born in 1955, spent a dozen years singing with The King's Singers and only began composing in 1997.
