Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin)
This is music from Norway, but it is a Faroese woman performing, and this is really ancient stuff.

I do not know how ancient this music is, but it is based on our Folklore.
Time lapsed Northern Lights with "Eivør Pálsdóttir- Den liuse dag for".
Folklore:
The Valkyrie (valkyrja) are warlike virgins, mounted upon flying horses and armed with helmets and spears. They choose among the slain who comes to Valhalla and become the einherjare to serve Odin and the other Æsir and Vanir (gods from Asgard). When they ride forth on their errand, their armour sheds a strange flickering light, which flashes up over the northern skies, making what men call the "Aurora Borealis", or "Northern Lights".

I've heard an interview with Eivør where she said that she at the age of 12 and 13 wondered around the island recorded the very old people singing in their old ways because she was worried that this kind of songs would die out. She recorded the old ways so that we can now hear it for ourselves. I love that at lot. But of course she has moved on from this attitude. All the same it is our heritage that we're looking for here.
