Over at ChantCafe, Mary Jane Ballou has embedded a video of an intensely beautiful movement from a Requiem Mass by one Steve Dobrogosz, an American ex-pat composer living in Sweden.
The breadth of genres in which he writes seems to defy description, jazz, pop, "world music," a sort of neo-romantic classical, bluegrass....
The composers own website offers quite a lot of music for listening and purchase, and SheetMusicPlus seems to have quite a bit more -- his Nunc Dimittis is described as "Simeons lovsang," and Magnificat as "Marias lovsang."
I probably wouldn't be tempted to use these, too pop for litrugy, IMO, but isn't that beautiful? that in, (what I assume is) Swedish, "canticle" is "lovsang"?
A love song to the Lord.
Universalis, your very own breviary in pixels...
