In a subtle sleight of hand, Ødegaard's compositions interweave Gregorian chant with Norwegian folk song. The composer employs Gregorian and paschal hymns as source material, from which he then draws his own polyphonic layers and extensions. The main work here is the eight-part Meditations over St Mary Magdalene's Feast in Nidaros, based on antiphons found in a 13th-century manuscript from medieval Scandinavia. Ødegaard's compositional process transfigures these antiphons, sensitively brought to light by Vox Clamantis.
On past ECM recordings, the choir has addressed works of Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür and most recently Estonian composer Cyrillus Kreek - an acclaimed recording, which BBC described as "magic of another sphere".
The album was recorded at the St Nicholas Dome in Haapsalu, Estonia in March 2021.
