Evensong

The nature around us strongly influences our lives. It’s rhythms- night and day, light and shade, ebb and flow, sunshine and rain, color our moods. Nature beckons us and we respond to it's calling. Sitting under the sky on a bright Norwegian summer’s night surrounded by valleys, mountains and fjords inspired the feeling of a distant voice calling in the evening. Long ago voices could be heard echoing across the valleys, sending ritual and spiritual messages.The Norwegian traditional singer Anne Karin Kaasa sets the mood of this tune, traditionally chanting as you would hear, in the southern valley of Setesdal in Norway.
