Mats Eilertsen, Trio Mediæval - Memorabilia (2020) [Hi-Res]

A meeting between the two trios Mats Eilertsen trio and the vocal ensemble Trio Mediaeval.
Consists of music composed by Mats Eilertsen. The lyrics are borrowed from Tor Ulven’s poetry, a small selection of his texts that represent beautiful, precise and poetic views and alternative takes on our existence, contemplations on reminiscences, memories and situations.

Mainly about what our memory consists of, after all the days lived, what images, what episodes remains in our memory!

Do we remember and emphasize the same, even if we do experience the same?

In order to broaden the canvas even further, these beautiful, earthly and concrete texts are contrasted by liturgy from the Mass; Sanctus, Agnus Dei, Gloria and more, which puts it all into a good old-fashioned divine light and perspective. There are also improvised instrumental passages which paraphrase, comment and further develop the written material.

Premiered at the Trondheim JazzFestival, May 2016.
