Gregorianische Gesänge Für Gemischten Chor

(includes audio CD, with full versions of the pieces and individual parts).

"These compositions are inspired by the tonal language of early polyphony and Gregorian chant, which has been a source of inspiration for countless composers throughout the history of Western music. It is important to Vahid Matejko to treat this tradition with respect and not to be content with beautiful sounds, but to convey a message in it. I am delighted with these chants, which are as appealing as they are challenging."

Dr. Emmanuela Kohlhaas OSB, (Prioress of the Benedictine Monastery Cologne-Raderberg)

"Behind everything is the author's intention to bring different religions together, so to speak, or to overcome that which separates them. The enclosed CD should not only serve as a stimulus and inspiration, but at the same time be an aid in rehearsing the individual voices."            Kirchenmusik im Bistum Limburg

(Church Music in the Diocese of Limburg)

 

"They are newly composed and yet the breath of centuries hovers over the Gregorian chants for mixed choir. The composer and arranger Vahid Matejko succeeds in creating something new in the style of traditional Gregorian melodies, which nevertheless does not lack a certain medieval mysticism. The three songs "Ubi Est Amor", "Credo In Unum Deum" and "In Paradisum", in which Matejko skillfully combines elements of Gregorian chant with early polyphony, are well suited for a reasonably experienced choir. So, if you want to try something different with your choir that is not necessarily heard at every concert, this edition with Gregorian chants by Vahid Matejko is highly recommended".
