'Maria's Song' finds her in the company of two distinguished classical musicians - organist Kare Nordstoga and 'giant of the Nordic viola' Lars Anders Tomter - and on a mission to restore Marian texts to sacred music, weaving folk melodies in between the timeless strains of J S Bach.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLangeland made a lot of friends with her sparkling ECM debut Starflowers: 'There are jewels everywhere on this arresting example of ego-free music-making. One of the albums of this or any other year' raved the Irish Times. Where Starflowers brought Langeland into the orbit of jazz improvisers, Maria's Song is a meeting and cross referencing of folk and 'classical' energies, and also a righting of historical 'injustice': Religious folk songs are amongst the most distinctive elements of the Norwegian folk tradition, yet the Virgin Mary rarely appears in them. Once a much-worshipped figure in the Far North she was, as Sinikka puts it, 'reformed' away in 1537, so this album brings Maria back into the music. It was recorded in the beautiful Nidaros Cathedral of Trondheim, famous for its Baroque organ heard here.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Sinikka Langeland (voice, kantele), K\\xe5re Nordstoga (organ), Lars Anders Tomter (viola)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLova lova Lina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Meine Seele erhebet den Herren (BWV 648)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAve Maria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Suite No. 1 in G major (BWV 1007) - Prelude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe angel Gabriel greets Mary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Suite No. 1 in G major - Allemande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the angel said to her\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Suite No. 1 in G major - Courante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe will be great\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Suite No.1 in G major - Sarabande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary asked the angel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Suite No.1 in G major - Menuet I \u0026amp; II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven Elizabeth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Suite No.1 in G major - Gigue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Vom Himmel kam der Engel Schar (BWV 607)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLova lova Lina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Fuga sopra il Magnificat (BWV 733)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary visits Elizabeth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKantele\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Concerto in D minor (BWV 596) - 1 (without tempo indication) - She was filled with the Holy Sp\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlessed is she who has believed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Concerto in D minor - 2 Grave \u0026amp; Fuga\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSong of Mary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKantele\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Concerto in D minor - 3 Largo e spiccato - His mercy extends to those who fear him\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Concerto in D minor - 4 (without tempo indication)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKyrie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBach: Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D minor (BWV 1004) - Ave Maria\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55179718492545,"sku":"309968","price":17.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51FsgiZXRnL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768220163","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/309968","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
