Touching and haunting piece. Interesting history, too! German names were also imported the Scandinavia because of trade.

wonderful!! interesting to read the background too - great work!

A great tribute to Värmeland, a tribute that I think respects the folk tradition. The instrumentation is very rich and the arrangement and playing here are all top quality. When listening to this I can imagine being in the beautiful Värmeland.

Kände en viss Sverigelängtsn när jag hörde den här - kul

Ack Värmeland, du sköna.
A Swedish song from 1822, based on a traditional folk melody.
I wanted to make a version of this beautiful classic, anyway värmland is a part of sweden that after the war and at the peace settlement in 1371, Värmland effectively became part of Norway between 1371-1389. And also there are human life, traces in Värmland that are more than 9,000 years old. Värmland county is a county located in western Svealand/Sweden.

*background of the song

*The melody of the Värmlandsvisan originates in the Netherlands and the Dutch freedom song "O, Nederland! Let op u saeck" from the 16th century. The Dutch visa may have reached Sweden with immigrated Walloons or Dutch. The melody may then have been sung by the blacksmiths and spread from there.

1822 Anders Fryxell wrote in a letter home that he had heard such a beautiful melody that he wanted to write a poem to it.

lyrics:
Ah, Värmeland, you beautiful, you glorious land!
You crown for the lands of the Kingdom of Sweden
Yea, if I come into the midst of the promised land,
to Värmland I still return.
Yes, there I want to live, yes, there I want to die.

ACK VÄRMELAND
