Lyrics, LATIN/ENGLISH: 

Quia ergo femina mortem instruxit, 
clara virgo illam interemit, 
et ideo est summa benedictio 
in feminea forma 
pre omni creatura, 
quia Deus factus est homo 
in dulcissima et beata virgine.	

For since a woman drew up death, 
a virgin gleaming dashed it down, 
and therefore is the highest blessing found 
in woman’s form 
before all other creatures. 
For God was made a human 
in the blessed Virgin sweet.

Quia Ergo Femina + improvisation

Buorre Beaivi is the 'good day' greeting in the north Sami language and even though this part of our music is not influenced by the Sami music, this was the first time we met again after Mette's study travel to Saltoluokta. Furthermore we performed at the International Women's Day, and the Sun deity, Beaivi, in most contexts is female in the Sami culture.

Øret mod øst

Excerpt from the cd Subtle Summit with two vocal styles: dhrupad (classical indian) presented by Ashish Sankrityayan and overtone singing by Skye Løfvander. 
NB! This is listening music originally recorded in a very high quality using state of the art solutions. The MP3 sound rendering  is very far from the real thing, so buy the cd!

The Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul stands as a monument to the Byzantine era. After having functioned for a period as a mosque it is now a museum... and still an acoustic temple..
The sound recordings on this video were made in an auralization developed by the Danish Odeon company, whose team of sound engineers with their equipment took the samples from the cathedral. Claus Lynge Christensen took care of the recordings of the two vocal soloists which were made in the anechoic chamber at the Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, near Copenhagen. It is one of the largest and most advanced of its kind.

Optagekvaliteten beklages! 
Instrumentet er den vietnamesiske jødeharpe, dan moi.

Sorry for recording quality!
The instrument is a vietnamese jew's harp, dan moi. The music is a Danish folk tune: Chicken feet & carrots

Dan moi fødder og rødder

Højt på en gren - den eneste almindeligt kendte 'femmer' (fem slag pr. takt) i den danske sangskat - udsat for dan moi, vietnamesisk jødeharpe, og telefonens lydoptager (suk!)
