Early Norwegian church psalm settings for Holy Week performed by the Oslo Cathedral Choir conducted by Terje Kvam. The Lutheran tradition is reflected in works from the Danish-Norwegian poets (Kingo, Dass, Brorson) whose hymnals defined the 16th and 17th century church style.
NOTE: All of the music on this program comes from the recording Det Hellige Kors featuring the Oslo Domchor conducted by Terje Kvam, with choral works for the Holy season and Passiontide.
This recording also is on the Kirkelig Kulturverksted label, and is is FXCD 224. For more information:
