about

Maria Faust Sacrum Facere is a song cycle written for brass trio, woodwind trio, prepared piano, and kannel (an Estonian folk harp). The music is a synthesis of two of Faust's passions (classical composition and free improvisation), inspired by Estonian folklore and runo singing that comes from the Setu region bordering Russia.

Winner of Two 2014 Danish Music Awards:
“Jazz Composer of the Year” and “Cross-over Album of the Year”
“An inspiring masterpiece” Eyal Hareuveni, All About Jazz, 2014
“Album of the Week” 6/6 stars, Eesti Ekspress, 2014
“Faust and Sacrum Facere are doing something sacred. It's not only the music that is holy.
It is the spiritual mood of the music that helps to lift and enrich.”
Niels Overgård, Jazznyt, 2014
“...a completely different jazz recording. It is original, beautiful, religious, meditative and contemplative."
