Composed by multi award-winning singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and educator Jacob Collier, "World, O World" is the final track from his award-winning Djesse album series. This seven-minute choral work, originally recorded with Jason Max Ferdinand and the Aeolians of Oakwood University, is a powerful hymn-like piece, with emotionally charged lyrics and rich harmonic language that builds to an extraordinary climax.
With complex rhythms, sophisticated harmonies and dynamic range, the original version offers advanced choirs a challenging yet rewarding musical experience.
