Sacred

Sacred was originally part of a Mass setting in which the composer combined the traditional Latin Mass movements with elements from the Sámi yoik tradition, other Norwegian folk music and traditional Finnish music.
This version for upper voices was recorded by Cantus on their album Northern Lights and is very approachable for choirs of all abilities. There are no words, only ‘yoik syllables’ with no meaning, for which a pronunciation guide is included.
Fjellheim’s distinctive and approachable musical language, which many will recognise from the use of his music at the opening of Disney’s Frozen, will appeal to both singers and audience.
