Kjetil Bjerkestrand presents a mass for the dead on his new album. For the first time in 40 years Kjetil Bjerkestrand has written a composition that has not been commissioned for a project. So what did he choose to write? A mass for the dead. This work has now been released, and it is a powerful, tremendously moving experience to listen to it. Arve Tellefsen (violin) and Live Maria Roggen (vocals) play key roles, surrounded by strings and electronics forming a colourful and dynamic landscape around them. Oystein Moen and Kjetil Bjerkestrand play Minimoog Voyager, and on strings we hear the Trondheim soloists led by their concert master Tino Fjeldli. The work has seven movements, and the old mass texts are performed in Latin and English.
