Ubi Caritas Sheet Music PDF — Ola Gjeilo SATB Choir
The luminous sacred choral work by Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo, engraved to the highest professional standard by Paul Lorenz Music
Few works in the contemporary choral canon achieve what Ola Gjeilo’s Ubi Caritas does in its opening bars: an almost otherworldly stillness that silences a concert hall before a single forte arrives. Rooted in the ancient Gregorian chant text — “Where charity and love are, God is there” — Gjeilo’s setting wraps that timeless prayer in shimmering, open harmonies that resonate as powerfully in a cathedral as in a concert hall. This Ubi Caritas sheet music PDF edition brings that exquisite writing directly to your rehearsal folder, with professional engraving that honours every nuance the composer intended.
This performance-ready SATB edition meets MOLA engraving standards throughout: 8.5mm staff size, 600 DPI resolution, generous margins for conductor markings, and rehearsal numbers at every system. Whether you are programming it for a wedding ceremony, an Easter Vigil, or a sacred concert, this Ubi Caritas SATB PDF delivers the clarity and reliability that professional choral directors demand — and that singers deserve.
