Seven allegorical pictures based upon the Norwegian folktune 'Kling no, klokka' (Sverre Eftestøl)

Seven allegorical pictures based upon the Norwegian folktune 'Kling no, klokka' by Sverre Eftestøl, played by Andrew Adair on the Salisbury Cathedral Hauptwerk sample set by Milan Digital Audio.

The Seven allegorical pictures based upon the Norwegian folktune 'Kling no, klokka' by Sverre Eftestøl (born 1952) are dedicated to the concert organist Christopher Herrick. Eftestøl studied piano and organ in Kristiansand and Oslo, and composition with George Crumb and Mauricio Kagel in Salzburg. The Norwegian folk tune Kling no, klokka (Sound the bell) comes from the Oppdal region, though a variant of the tune can be traced back to Halle from 1705 or 1708.

Kling no, klokka! Ring and lure
Call and lure from a thousand towers!
Tone for salvation! Call and health
Call and health with peace Children of God!
Kling no, klokka! Ring and lure
Call and lure from a thousand towers!

Songar sæle, engelmæle
Angelic words with a soulful sound!
Drive through hamlets, stream over beaches
Stream over beaches like the tide!
Songar sæle, engelmæle
Angelic words with a soulful sound!

Angels quiver: Hear the joy
Hear the joy that is here!
The light is round, life is won
Life he won: a savior sent
Angels quiver: Hear the joy
Hear the joy that is here!

See, it dawns, soon it heals
Soon it will be ready for the holiday new!
Then we'll watch playing lure
Playing locks for the weekend in the sky
See, it dawns, soon it heals
Soon it will be ready for the holiday new!
