Arve Moen Bergset: "Religiøse Folketoner" bl.a.

Heard on NKR ...

A song "Herre Gud dit dyre navn og aere" by Arve Moen Bergset, from the album Religiøse Folketoner ( ). A longtime member of Bukkene Bruse (Billy Goats Gruff), Bergset has made a name as folksinger in the kveding style and for performing classical compositions for Hardanger fiddle. Good bio of Bergset on the Norwegian Music Information Centre website.

A sampling of his work in a 10-minute YouTube clip includes:
  • 'Mitt hjerte alltid vanker' (14 years old)

  • "Bruremarsj Fra Osterdalen" (instrumental)

  • "Maria, Hun er en Jomfru reen" (32 years old)
Arrangements are kind of New Age-y orchestral. Nice, though.
