Info zu Psallat Ecclesia
What we call Gregorian chant is old music. By the 13th century most of it was already composed. It is the church's oldest musical treasure, and is the word of God spoken, and prayers prayed, in a language where the word is lifted and born on wings of exquisite beauty. It is not just a language of words, but a meeting of words and melody in an expression of extraordinary power.
Gregorian chant developed over a long period of oral transmission from generation to generation. If there is an evolutionary theory for artistic expression, a sort of 'survival of the fittest', it can certainly be used about Gregorian chant. Many of these melodies are so unbelievably beautiful; it is as if we sense divine participation in their creation. There is an air of mysticism in this music, which more and more people are seeking as a setting for meditation and prayer.

Schola Solensis
Halvor J. Østtveit (conductor)
Schola Solensis was founded in 1995, in connection with the re-erection of the medieval church at Sola. The cantor is Halvor J. Østtveit. Schola Solensis sings Gregorian chant, and collects its repertory both from the core of the Roman liturgy and from rare Norwegian and Icelandic sources. Since 1995 Schola Solensis has participated in numerous festivals, and gives concerts on a regular basis, mainly in the medieval church at Sola and the monastery at Utstein.
