Growing out of concerts given by Schola cantorum Reykjavicensis and Hörour Askelsson on All Soul's
Day, Meditatio presents a programme of expressive choral works which interpret grief and bereavement in
the light of hope and comfort. Apart from Jon Leifs' singularly serene Requiem, the composer's response
to the death of his daughter in 1947, all the pieces date from the past 35 years – from The Lamb by John
Tavener from 1982 to Nunc dimittis (2015) by Sigurour Sævarsson, Icelandic composer as well as
member of Schola cantorum. The 'Canticle of Simeon', as this song of praise from the Bible is also called,
appears in two other settings on the disc – by Arvo Part and by Hreioar Ingi who, like Sævarsson, sings
bass in the choir. Four other Icelandic composers are represented on the disc, including the choir's
conductor Hörour Askelsson and Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson, whose Heyr, himna smiour (Hear, Heaven's
creator) – a setting of a 13th-century hymn – has gained recognition far beyond Iceland. Otherwise the
choir performs music by the Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds, the Scotsman James MacMillan – his A
Child's Prayer commemorates the victims of the school massacre in the Scottish town of Dunblane in
March 1996 – and by Morten Lauridsen and Eric Whitacre, both from the U.S.A. Schola cantorum
Reykjavicensis was founded in 1996 by Hörour Askelsson, who remains its artistic director, and has
appeared on a number of BIS recordings with music by Jon Leifs. The choir performs regularly in
Reykjavik's famous Hallgrimskirkja where the present recording took place.
