Två av Sveriges mest etablerade folkmusiker sammanstrålar här i en duo. Hazelius och Hedin musicerar med en innerlighet som lämnar få oberörda.

Scotland The Brave (Great Highland Bagpipes)

Traditional tune played on a "Zampogna a Chiave" (traditional Neapolitan bagpipe) made by Marco Cianciaruso. This one has the "modified drone" allowing you to, apart from the two melody chanters, to play three notes on the drone as well, making it the only (?) bagpipe on which you can play three-part-harmony...

Alle Psallite Cum Luya

Two conducti from the Ludus Danielis, a French mystery play of the 12th century. The first is called "Astra tenenti cunctipotenti", the second "simul omnes gratulemur" and refers to many different types of instruments that would presumably have been used in this context.

Astra tenenti cunctipotenti

citharistae tangant cordas,
musicorum organa
resonent ad ejus praeconia.

GREENSLEEVES * Ai Vis Lo Lop*

Kærlighedstræet (Trad. Denmark)

A song about three animals dancing on the ice!

Raeven, Rotten & Grisen (The Fox, the Rat & the Pig) (Trad. NO/DK)

“If you like moody, sometimes dark, folk music, punctuated by beautiful musicianship and artistry, then you will find nothing to dislike here. —PopMatters

“Lien’s spectral fiddling proves hauntingly absorbing as it introduces the past to the future.” —The Washington Post

A virtuoso of Norwegian traditional music deeply inspired by the music of other cultures, fiddler Annbjørg Lien crosses musical borders as a pioneer for true “world music.” Khoom Loy, Thai for “Paper Lanterns,” is Lien’s eighth solo album and explores a broad spectrum of traditions ranging from her traditional Norwegian folk to Irish and Asian music, with Lien playing her native Hardanger fiddle as well as the keyed fiddle. Lien says of the album, “this is a tribute to a lovely ritual of the East: releasing lanterns in remembrance of the dead, or as a prayer for a good life. They serve as bridges connecting us to the past and the future, the east and the west, tradition and innovation.”

Steeped in the music of other cultures, Khoom Loy also represents a first for Lien—her world vocal debut to stunning and haunting effect, notably on the title track and “Den Storste Daarlighed,” which also offers a unique fusion of the Indian tabla with Celtic whistles. The album features Bjørn Charles Dreyer, Hans Fredrik Jacobsen, Bjørn Ole Rasch, Per Elias Drabløs, Per Hillestad, Orsa Spelmän, Kristiansand String Quartet, and Pat Broaders.

Winner of the Garmeleng Prize for classical folk and the Hilimar Award in her native Norway, Lien is also is a member of the world music fiddle group String Sisters (Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Liz Knowles, Catriona MacDonald, Liz Carroll and Emma Härdelin) and has collaborated with American fiddler Bruce Molsky amongst many others. Lien comes from a musical family and learned traditional music from his father and classical music at the music school in Ålesund. She has since been teaching privately with other top musicians, as Hauk Buen from Telemark.
