Heinrich Poos is not the first composer inspired by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock's poem 'Die Auferstehung', as even Gustav Mahler had already used these verses in the fifth movement of his Second Symphony 'Auferstehung'. Mahler was inspired to use a choral movement at the end of his symphony at the funeral of the conductor Hans von Bülow where a choir sang a chorale based on said text by Klopstock. Heinrich Poos wrote his deeply moving choral piece in remembrance of the organist Hubert Schoonbrodt. / Choeur De Femmes (SSAA) A Cappella

Fairest Lord Jesus-Eatnemen Vuelie is the opening musical number for the 2013 Disney animated feature Frozen. The song is inspired by indigenous Saami and Norwegian culture and was written and composed by Norwegian composer Frode Fjellheim. The song is a combination of Saami yoiking and the Danish Christmas hymn 'Dejlig erjorden'/'Fairest Lord Jesus'. 'Yoik' is a very old vocal tradition among the Sami people of Scandinavia and Russia. Typical of this tradition is the use of short melodic phrases that repeat endlessly with small variations.Arranged for children's choir or women's choir (SSAA Voices) Synthesizer Percussion and solo medium Voice.

Aejlies which means ?Holy? was originally composed as part of a commissioned work for the Sámi church festival in Norway in 2013. The theme for the festival was ?Holy Ground! Holy World? referring to the understanding among our Sámi ancestors as well as other indigenous groups that the land we are living on - Mother Earth - is Holy and should be treated with respect and honour. The theme is also inspired by the biblical words ?Take your sandals off your fee for the place where you are standing is holy ground!? (Exodus 3 5) which resonates with how indigenous traditions relate to nature.Only one word is sung in this work which takes inspiration from the Sámiyoik tradition where one often only uses very few words in combination with so called yoik syllables. These syllables have no linguistic meaning but are an important part of this ancient vocal tradition allowing the human voice to describe something without the limitations words and language sometimes have.
