New CD: »Kosmos«

Frederik Magle · Aug-22-2003, 20:12

In May, this year (2003), I finished producing and editing a new CD called "Kosmos". It will be released later this year or early 2004...

UPDATE: The CD "Kosmos" was released on the danish label "Classico" on August 11, 2004. It can be ordered and shipped worldwide from this store

Two of the pieces on the CD can be downloaded for free in full:
Click Here to download »Phoenix« [9.3 MB, 160 kbps MP3] or go to this page to download »Cantilena«. You can also download a large excerpt of the title work »Kosmos« from this page.

The performers are: The Cecilia Choir (conducted by Gunnar Svensson), Signe Hyldgard (soprano), Martin Palsmar (barytone), Anton Lasine (violin), Nina Schlemm (harp), Ole Andersen (trumpet), Klaus Jerndorff (organ) and myself (organ, track 11 & 12)

And the programme:

1. Niels W. Gade: "Morning Song" (choir)
2. Frederik Magle: "Phoenix" (choir & organ)
3.-10. Gabriel Fauré: "Requiem" (choir, soloists, violin, harp & organ)
11. Frederik Magle: "Kosmos" (trumpet & organ)
12. Frederik Magle: "Cantilena" (solo organ)
13. W.A. Mozart: "Ave Verum Corpus" (choir & organ)
14. C.E.F. Weyse: "Night so deeply quiet" (choir)

I hope you will enjoy "Phoenix", "Cantilena" and the rest of the CD!

Here are the lyrics (translated from danish):

Phoenix shines
Phoenix is radiant
Like The Morningstar
It revives
And lives
Even when Man perishes

Phoenix lives
Phoenix dies
But is one with eternity.
It brings kindling to the flame
Set alight by
Love.

I spend many months composing this work. There is quite an attention to detail, which might take more than one listening to realise the full scope of. Also, there are a some secrets within...

If anyone is interested in the full score, then please contact me (an excerpt is available here). If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask them here.

Zuko, did you obtain the Kosmos CD through that Danish label Classico? Recently? How long did it take for you to receive it, and what country are you in? I ordered it a few weeks ago and have heard nothing from the company since then, and my emails have gone unanswered.
