This time, Gadus Morhua Ensemble sets its sights on Fjárlögin - the beloved songbook arranged by Sigfús Einarsson and Halldór Jónasson published in 1915–1916. Once a staple in Icelandic households, these songs were sung across the country for decades. Though their popularity may have faded with the decline of domestic singing traditions, Gadus Morhua Ensemble now reclaims them in their own distinctive style. At the core of the ensemble’s repertoire are Icelandic and international folk songs, classical art songs and compositions my its members. These elements are intricately woven together in a compelling fusion of baroque elegance and the intimate atmosphere of the traditional Icelandic baðstofa, the communal living space in the Icelandic turf house. Fjárlögin are given the same thoughtful and imaginative treatment. Performers: Björk Níelsdóttir - vocals, langspil (the traditional Icelandic drone zither) and percussion Eyjólfur Eyjólfsson - vocals, baroque flute and langspil (the traditional Icelandic drone zither) Sigurður Halldórsson - vocals, langspil (the traditional Icelandic drone zither) and baroque cello
