Two of Norway's foremost folk musicians, Oyonn Groven Myhren and Anne Hytta, have joined forces to form the duo Sogesong and to release a recording offering brand-new, fresh and original interpretations of old folk songs in their new album, 'Sogesong: Sa vide fara dei lindarord'.\r
\r

'A few years ago we began to explore the treasure trove of ballads from Telemark together. The unusual melodies and fantastic narratives spoke to us. We have awoken them from their slumber on lifeless pieces of paper and have sung and played these well-hidden medieval folk-tale songs until they gradually acquired a life of their own that we think suits them,' Oyonn and Anne tell us.

\r

Oyonn Groven Myhren's unique 'kveding' voice and the reconstructions of medieval string instruments used by the duo are Sogesong's points of departure. With Oyonn and Anne's deeply personal expression, based on the old folk music traditions of Telemark, Sogesong sounds like no other group: evocatively melismatic, singing and always swinging. Sogesong is an encounter between the old and the genuinely new, shaped and presented by two contemporary folk musicians.

\r

The album Sa vide fara dei lindarord presents eight distinctive and very diverse ballads, including songs of chivalry, folk-tale songs, comic ballads and even a ghost song or two. The instruments played by Sogesong \u2013 vielles and lyres with origins that range from Numedal through Novgorod to Valencia \u2013 were created by Sverre Jensen. He is the guru of medieval music in Norway, and a major source of inspiration for Sogesong.

Oyonn Groven Myhren is one of Norway's leading folk musicians and was the winner of the vocal category at this year's National Contest for Traditional Music. She also won in the same category in 1997 and 1998. She has developed her own style in playing the lyre. Since the turn of the millennium she has received several large-scale composition commissions, among which are the critically acclaimed productions Nivelkinn and Runartromma.

Anne Hytta learned to play the Hardanger fiddle from fiddler Einar Londal (1914\u20132006) of Tuddal. He came from a family of fiddlers and 'kvedere', traditional singers, and taught Hytta a broad repertoire of old fiddle tunes featuring rich, distinctive ornamentation and a close connection with traditional singing techniques. She currently works as a freelance folk musician and composer, and in addition to her solo performances on Hardanger fiddle and her collaboration in the Sogesong duo, she plays with the trio Slagr and the international folk string quartet Tosko, among others.
