Iver Kleive // Juleevangeliet // CD
With a mixture of newly written music and traditional Christmas carols, Iver Kleive has created a whole little Christmas oratory on this CD.
He invited actor Jon Eikemo and singers Anne Gravir and Ronnie Johansen to perform his work together with Oslo Bach Choir, which he conducts himself.
The whole story is presented rather like a musical: From when the angel Gabriel visited Maria in Nasareth, via shepherds and wise men, to the escape to Egypt and the subsequent homecoming.
The music was originally composed for the Norwegian Theatre’s performance in Oslo of “The Chrismas Gospel” two years ago. Structure and configuration has been changed considerably for this CD version. Some hymns have been replaced and the amount of singers is reduced to two. But Iver Kleive’s music is essentially the same, although Kleive now plays the church organ instead of the synth, and Paolo Vinaccia plays percussion.
