I downloaded this album just before a flight to London so that I would have music to hear. Needless to say listening to this for the first time while looking out of a plane window was one of the most cathartic moments of my life.

Right now, my college's choir is supposed to be singing this, but amidst all the chaos, our plans for a concert are in limbo. However, I couldn't resist coming and listening, this song just brings me peace at this very stressful time and assures that things are and will be ok. Thank you Ola Gjeilo.

Oh! My sentiments exactly. It's bloody hard work wading through the wikipedia list of 21st Century Contemporary Classic composers. The dis-harmonius stabbing of piano, violin and whatever found objects might come to hand has become such a dreadful cliche. Time for a return to beautiful music - Thanks Ola indeed

As much as I agree with the beauty of this piece, us musicians should be lifting one another up and giving encouragement. I hate all the gatekeeping that occurs within the classical community. Music is for everyone, if it doesn't match your taste, there's no need to bash others who enjoy it. And especially not bashing the composers.

I sang this song with my high school’s choir in my senior year. That was nearly five years ago now. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for writing such beautiful music that helps so many express their feelings and feel at peace

This music makes me want to run to the beach in time to see the sun rise up out of the Atlantic Ocean, to stretch out my arms, to open my senses, to hear the cries of the sea birds and watch the fishes dart through transparent gray waves tinged with pink from the firey morning sun, to watch the Lighthouse with its beautiful Fresnel lamp still lit, still turning, a beacon reaching out in every direction to guide the sailor back home to his bouy. I pray the Lord grants me just one more day to experience the smell, and the taste, and the feel of the salt spray on my lips

Have you ever heard something so beautiful that you can’t help but wonder that maybe there is a God who made us and gave us music. Music is a sure way to connect with God.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

Very few songs make me feel like crying. This song, especially with this imagery, does that.

As a Psychotherapist I know this musical rendition would bring imminent peace to many of my patients.

we performed this piece last night in a church whose acoustics transported. Ola, I can't wait to meet you in person. Your work is building my capacity to become the instrument. It's less like singing and more like channeling.

Ola Gjeilo, I found you pieces in 2018 autumn, from that day I can't stop listening to your works. Every day I am starting my job with headphones and your songs. Wonderful! You have amazing gift to touch peoples souls. Thank you

"Always night and day I hear lake water lapping in low sounds by the shore. when I stand on the roadway or on pavements grey I hear it in the deep hearts core"- so true- when I am away from Scotland thats how I feel- I want to go home

Caution: This song is addictive!

Mr. Ola Gjeilo, thank you for brightening my life with your emotionally rich and deep compositions. the world needs more Ola Gjeilo.

I discovered this composer on CLASSIC FM..... Wonderful.... Truely wonderful.... I suffer from Aspergers and I find this piece of music so comforting....

Norway!! I lived here for awhile and it's breathtakingly beautiful!

This lovely music made my day really🌷🌷🌷 It takes away all the stress and anxiety💖So beautiful, peaceful, absolutely amazing✨ I very much appreciate for sharing this great music for us✨

I somehow stumbled across Ola's music about two years ago and something happened when I listened to it. The amazing harmonies, the unique choral sounds melded (with piano, guitar etc) in a way I'd never heard...somehow it just got to me and nothing else seems to quite take my mind to a place of serenity as Ola's music does. I would call finding Ola's music transformational in my life...and I listen to an awful lot of music. Now please come to Sydney and do some composer led concerts!!

Hi Ian, I discovered Ola Gjeilo via WCLV, my local (Cleveland, OH) classical music station when I heard "Tundra" as I was driving to work. The first thing I did when I got home was to search for more compositions by Ola and I discovered a treasure trove of beautiful music that has brought me many hours of listening pleasure.

I love the Norwegian landscapes. Such a joy to watch along with the amazing music.

2 months ago, I visited a friend of mine and we were discussing places in the world we want to visite. My friend likes Italy and some area's down south a lot, while I prefer to go up north, the cold. Both Norway and Finland are on my bucketlist and Switzerland as well. When I got in the car, and turned on the radio this beautiful song started playing and it turned out the composer is Norwegian. If this isn't a sign from the universe, then I don't know what it is 🌟

This is truly a masterpiece from both perspectives: music and video.

I'm in tears..so moving

this makes me cry every time I listen to it

Thank you Ola Gjeilo.

Music so clean and pure as Scandinavian nature...

Just stumbled upon this composer - what a find! Love the Norwegian footage. It brought back wonderful memories of our Norwegian coastal voyage. The Norwegians we met on our trip were lovely people. My dad went to Norway a lot before WW2 and I inherited his love for Norway.

Moving. What a beautiful piece, marvelous photos. Truly wonderful!

My son had the opportunity to perform this wonderful piece with his high school Varsity choir (in Austin, TX) right before the pandemic hit the US. It was so inspirational to see the young musicians jump in to learn this amazing piece and then give their best performance to that point. This was the last piece they performed together. In person. Thank you, Ola, for all of the beautiful music you share with the world, but especially for this piece.

Finally, back to the great serenity of voices, choral music, piano as close to Classic New Age as I can remember, feel and hope to share such true Renaissance ! The simple and yet so glimmering touch of your work give us a piece of skies puzzle that were missing for so long ... From the bottom of my heart...obrigado, merci, thank you, viele danke.

Such a beautiful song about living in isolation in a valley thats so filled with bees that it’s considered “loud”

Almost too much beauty to take in at once. Thank you so much. Exactly this time last year we took our family to Norway and watching this brings goosebumps and tears of nostalgia. Such escape from the sadness around our world. Many regards from Sydney, Aust - Dave
