Regular readers should be at least passively familiar with Trio Medi\u00e6val<\/a>. I’ve mentioned them in a few posts, as well as writing a “New Listen” on their most recent album,\u00a0A Worcester Ladymass<\/span><\/em><\/a>. Their informed, artful renditions of Medieval, traditional, and contemporary works – both sacred and secular – are irresistible. Couple that with their partnership with ECM<\/a>, far and away my favorite record label (as also frequently mentioned here), and you have a consistent recipe for success.<\/p>\n

This week’s video is of a performance “Gjendine’s Lullaby” from 2007’s\u00a0Folk Songs<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>the first album of theirs I purchased. I was hooked upon first listen – enough to acquire all of their albums over the next year. Subtitled “Ballads, Hymns and Lullabies,” the album description is: “Traditional songs from Norway arranged for voices and percussion.” This particular song is an arrangement of a traditional lullaby that was, as mentioned in the liner notes, “written down by Edvard Grieg<\/a> after Kaia Gjendine Slaalien<\/a>, Jotunheimen.”<\/p>\n

Trio Medi\u00e6val<\/a>:
\nAnna Maria Friman
\nLinn Andrea Fuglseth
\nTorunn \u00d8strem Ossum
\nw. Birger Mistereggen<\/a>, percussion<\/p>\n

Text (translation by Andrew Smith):
\nThe child is laid in its cradle, sometimes crying, sometimes smiling.
\nThe child is laid in its cradle, sometimes crying, sometimes smiling
\nSleep, now sleep in Jesus’ name; Jesus, watch over this child.
\nSleep, now sleep in Jesus’ name; Jesus, watch over this child
\nMother lifts me to her lap, dances with me to and fro.
\nMother lifts me to her lap, dances with me to and fro
\nDance then, dance with your children,\u00a0dance, and your child will dance.
\nDance then, dance with your children,\u00a0dance, and your child will dance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
