Over several summers Trio Mediaeval and trumpeter Arve Henriksen spent many days together by the beautiful Dalsfjorden on the Norwegian west coast, where most of the music on this recording was born. Fascinated and inspired by Icelandic sagas, beautiful chants, folk, religious hymns and fiddle tunes, the quartet has arranged a unique set of songs where improvisation, mediaeval and traditional music from Iceland, Norway and Sweden meet the present. The singers and trumpeter have often performed in live settings, a collaboration called “a richly musical and imaginative encounter” by The Guardian.

“… music that seems old and new at once … Anna Maria Friman, in husky voice, offers a perfect patina over Henriksen’s slightly jazzy trumpet.”- NPR

“Impressive from the first moment of listening is the strength, calmness and concentration this originally monophonic music exudes. Some may need more time to really get into it but it offers the listener to opportunity to feel the deeper ground of existence the music is touching upon … a worthwhile and so far unique aural journey.”- All About Jazz
