Since then, the Sunrise Mass has been presented in concerts across the world to great acclaim. The Mass was commissioned in 2007 by Tore Erik Mohn for performance by two combined choruses, Majorstua Kammerkor and Kammerkoret Nova, and was premiered on November 2, 2008. His recent and rapid meteoric rise as a composer corresponded with the creation of his masterwork for double SATB chorus and large string orchestra, the Sunrise Mass. As a composer he exploded on the choral scene in 2007. Following studies at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo, the Royal College of Music in London, and the Juilliard School of Music in New York, (where he won the 2005 Juilliard Composers’ Orchestral Work Competition), he relocated to the USA to study film composition in Los Angeles.
The Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo was born in Oslo, Norway, in 1978.
