Description

The celebration of Yule in Northern Europe dates back to the transition from the old pagan Germanic culture to the more formal spirituality of the newer Christian rite. Christmas, as we usually call it today, brought us hymns, processions and songs, and in between the silence of the church. Christmas represented a vibrant, pre-Christian secularity, with feasting and dancing, the noise of instruments and decorating the house with holly, ivy and mistletoe as a tribute to the gods of earth and air. Much of the music on this album comes from an earlier time when churches were decorated with green Christmas ornaments in the spirit of Christmas and carols were sung at home around a burning log, the two traditions existing side by side. The songs on this album, however, are contemporary performances, a matrix in which acappella voices meet improvising instruments, creating a synthesis of secular and sacred elements.

The Trio Mediæval was praised as a “fascinating journey with music of timeless beauty”. With its highly acclaimed first CD “Words of the Angel”, the group was accepted into the elite circle of early music ensembles in 2001 and introduced to a broad international audience. Founded in 1997, the Grammy-nominated vocal ensemble consists of founding members Linn Andrea Fuglseth and Anna Maria Friman, and Jorunn Lovise Husan, who joined the group in 2018.
