Eatnemen Vuelie (Song for the Earth/Deilig er jorden). Frode Fjellheim. SATB, Piano and Percussion

Description
Eatnemen Vuelie is the opening musical number for the 2013 Disney animated feature Frozen. The song is inspired by indigenous Saami and Norwegian culture, and was written and composed by Norwegian composer Frode Fjellheim. The song is a combination of Saami yoiking and the Danish Christmas hymn Dejlig er jorden/Fairest Lord Jesus. Composed by Frode Fjellheim.
The original hymn is composed by the Danish composer B.S. Ingemann. Eatnemen Vuelie is inspired by the traditional Sami Yoik. Yoik is a very old vocal tradition among the Sami people of Scandinavia and Russia. Typical of this tradition is the use of short melodic phrases that repeat endlessly with small variations.
Now available in several voicings, all choirs can now enjoy these works that are infused with style and ethnic authenticity that will bring a wonderful and unique sound to your choral concert.
