Svanevit

A medieval ballad about the maiden and "Näcken" (a water spirit, usually rather malignant).

Jungfrun Och Näcken

Polska from Billinge in Skåne, southern Sweden, played on Swedish bagpipes, fiddle, mandola and percussion.

Billinge

A medieval ballad about the knight Sven Svanevit ("Swan-white"), encountering a bandit who blocks the way, demanding that Svanevit answers his questions in order to let him pass. A bit like the scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail, but with less hacking of limbs...

A very melancholy song from Småland in southern Sweden, about love long lost... 
Musicians: Anders Larsson (voice), Erik Ask-Upmark (harp), Anna Rynefors (nyckelharpa), Maria Larsson (fiddle).
