Скачать или смотреть Einar Selvik - Vindavla | Ormagardskvedi @ Gildehallen, Borre, Norway - 2017-11-15

Einar Selvik (Wardruna) had this little lecture about old Nordic music and instruments yesterday, in a lecture called Old Nordic Music. He showed us the instruments and he also performed songs from by Wardruna, and his own songs. This lecture was in Gildehallen which is a replica of an old Viking Hall in Borre, Norway.

As for the lecture I didn't really record as much, and I didn't really want to record it either - since I was too busy watching and listening to Einar. The second song was recorded without looking at the camera at all, which is quite obvious when you see it. :D

Tracklist:
00:10 - Recording 1: Vindavla
03:56 - Recording 2: Wardruna - Ormagardskvedi

The lecture itself gave a nice insight on how music was made (and later written) with the contexts of the era(s), instruments and how people were living back in the days. If he'll do more of these lectures it's highly recommended that you go and check it out. :)

The second song (starting at the 3:56 minute mark), Snake Pit Poetry, is available for purchase. It was made for and used in the TV-show Vikings so if you're into that show you'll definitely recognize it. The first song is performed with the instrument Talharpa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talharpa), and the second song is performed with a Kravik Lyre (https://www.google.no/search?hl=en&q=....
