Solistkoret UNG & conductor Grete Pedersen

Meet the talented singers in Solistkoret UNG

Young talents

Solistkoret UNG meets the award winning conductor Grete Pedersen for a concert with Olivier Messiaen's celebration of love, Cinq Rechants, and selected vocal pieces by the Swedish composer Karin Rehnquist.

Olivier Messiaen (1908 - 1992) is considered one of the leading composers of the 20th century. Cinq rechants from 1949 is the last part of the composer's love trilogy based on the story of Tristan and Isolde.

Messiaen viewed himself as "compositeur et rythmicien," underlining the importance rhythm played in his musical language. Cinq rechants composed in 1949, employs an elaborately developed rhythmic structure that is predominantly Hindu-influenced. The text, interspersed with syllables from Quechua (an Indian language of Peru) and Sanskrit, is a celebration of love written by Messiaen.
