Devour Music

Reflections by Ola Gjeilo, from his debut album Ola Gjeilo. Originally written for piano and strings, the piece unfolds in a clear, tonal language, with a strong sense of space and balance between movement and stillness. The texture is transparent, allowing the harmonic shifts and melodic lines to emerge naturally. In this piano version, the focus turns inward - reduced to a more intimate and direct form. Ola Gjeilo’s music often blends classical, cinematic, and ambient elements, with an emphasis on clarity, atmosphere, and resonance. Reflections captures this aesthetic - calm, flowing, and quietly expressive. *Ola Gjeilo is one of the most frequently performed composers in the choral world. An accomplished pianist, improvisations over his own published choral pieces have become a trademark of his collaborations. Although Norwegian by birth, it is perhaps Ola’s adopted country of America that has influenced the composer’s distinctive soundworld the most, evolving a style that is often described as cinematic and evocative, with a lush, harmonious sound. Ola grew up in a musically eclectic home listening to classical, jazz, pop and folk, a broad background he later incorporated into his classical composition studies at The Juilliard School, the Royal College of Music in London, and currently as a New York City-based freelance composer. He is especially inspired by the improvisational art of film composer Thomas Newman, jazz legends Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny, glass artist Dale Chihuly and architect Frank Gehry.
