Info for Folketoner

In this recording, we have chosen Norwegian folk songs, music from the national romantic tradition and hymns that we love to sing. Some of the songs have been specially arranged for this album, while others have been part and parcel of the choir's repertoire for a long time — in fact from before some of the choir's present members were even born. You can hear beautiful lullabies and some of the choir's favourite Grieg songs; you can hear songs full of charm and songs full of gravity, songs of love and songs of sorrow, songs of birth and songs of death.
