“The wind was whistling through the old lime and maple trees opposite my windows; the snow was sweeping down the street and the sky was black as an Oslo December sky can be.”
So begins Peter Christen Asbjørnsen’s seasonal classic, An Old-Fashioned Christmas Eve, its collection of yuletide yarns imbued with the combination of darkness and light, cold and warmth, realism and magic that characterizes December in Europe’s northernmost nation.
The Scandinavian Christmas is one of largely unchanged traditions. “Christmas is how I got into music,” explains Lise Davidsen. “We listened to all kinds of music: choral music, popular music and the Norwegian songs I sing on the album.”
Even as she appears on the world’s most prestigious stages, Davidsen holds local Christmas traditions dear. This album cherishes the familial intimacy of festive seasons past and present – a time not for virtuosity, but for singing that glances sideways in communion and collaboration.
Autographed by the artist.
History
Music Notes
Most Western music is based on a system of notation that evolved around 1600 out of earlier practices. The starting point for any opera is the full score, which contains all individual voices and instruments arranged in a specific order on the page. The written music—representing the sounds a composer creates in his head—then comes to life performed by singers onstage and played by the orchestra.
