Norwegian Portraits

For instrumentalists (C-instr.) and vocalists (treble and bass clef). This book is the very first of its kind: a collection of Norwegian songs with a playback CD. Norwegian music history is a vast ocean with great melodic and lyrical variations, a world full of exotic experiences. We dived in, and found a seemingly endless depth of contrasts – calm and tender cradle songs, beautiful and romantic sonts, religious texts, solemn wedding marches, rousing national hymns, wild and spirited folk songs. You will find a tiny – but very varied – sample from our exciting journey between these covers. Titles are: *Astri, mi Astri *Barndomsminne fra Nordland *Bergrosa *Bruremarsj fra osterdalen *Eg veit i himmerik ei borg *Gammel jegermarsj *Gjendines banlat *Halling *Herre Gud, ditt dyre navn og aere *Jeg lagde meg sa silde *Norge i rodt, hvitt og blatt *Om kvelden nar det morkner *Solveigs sang *Springdans *Saeterjentens sondag *Sa lokka me over den myra *Varsog.
