Cantus Eatnemen Vuelie by Frode Fjellheim 

Krista Masucci Frozen just put this on the map. It was actually written back in 1996.

I know, but on it's own, it's gorgeous!

We're singing this for choir.

***** Precisely :P

Kristoff Bjorgman Sami-Norwegian actually bahaha. The film's setting is based off of Bergen Norway. A city surrounded by fjords.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame has an entire catholic mass in the background.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame already had this.

The hymn is a about christianity, or more precisely Jesus Christ.

Disney movies about divers Coulter's need to have more folk songs like this

inuyashasoul Well, other than Hunchback, since Christianity was a major theme in that movie.

Same the choir songs are so beautiful, listen Hierm Alnadr or whatever lol

Well, you're in luck friend

You're in luck. Hunchback of Notre Dame exists

Yessss

Watching Frozen did bring me here, but I have been a Frode Fjellheim fan since my choir did Night Yoik 9 years ago. I bought all the sheet music to each of his songs, but never looked at it lol. The only ones I knew up until watching Frozen were Night Yoik and Northern Lights.

Unfortunately. This great song was wasted on that sad movie.

they did waste it on frozen to bad to sad

Levon Gevorgyan why do you think that it was wasted on frozen?

You are right, the melody is of "Schönster Herr Jesus" - but it is no "folksong" in the meaning of the word, it is a church hymnal of catholic tradition - yet, sung in protestant churches also. Interestingly, the melody became known over the borders of German speaking countries and got Danish christmas lyrics - so it is a Danish christmas song. It was the song that inspired Hans Christian Andersen to write his "Snow Queen", where it is referenced several times. Since the "Snow Queen" inspired "Frozen" (and is therefore called the "Ice Queen" in German ;) ) - this closes the circle in the nicest way.

@@elektra121 This is just about the coolest thing I've read all year

Six. ;3 And I'm STILL not tired of it. It's insane how good it is.

I agree with you mate! And I envy you so much for being able watch it six times... It's already out of the theaters in my place but I'm definitely going to get the Blu ray

Blu ray will be released on march while digital copy will be on feb 25

vesdan13 Feb 25 is when Thor: The Dark World will be on blu-ray.

Me too

Amen to that!!

No kidding!!!

I’m 15 and im one if not the only true alto in my high school choir so sometimes I join the tenors lmao

It matters not how we arrived here. What matters is that we all stayed for the good music!

My choir is singing it, I had no clue it was in frozen!

My choir is also singing this

A trip to Tromsø in Northern Norway brought me here and not Frozen TBH.

My interest in joki’s brought me here

I had a bunch of trouble learning to talk as well, no words til was past 4 years old. if anything if she wants to be in a choir i say go for it, just get her to listen for sounds and to either be the same or something that compliments what's already there. both are great for whatever musical stuff one goes for.

Metalchemist2 She's only 5 now, but we are scouting out potential choirs for her. Music does have an amazingly therapeutic magic doesn't it?

indeed. can change how people feel, think, act, and move just by how it is put and when

I used to sing in a choir and I remember one exercise we used to do which I found fascinating. We had very varied vowel sounds, different accents, and had to learn to standardise them. The exercise takes you through all the vowels in turn, although not in alphabetical order, but shows you how we use our whole mouth. So Make the broadest cheesiest eeeeeeee you can, exaggerate your face. That is one extreme. The other is uuuuuuuuu (rhyme with Boo)with lips pursed into a forward tight little circle. And notice the shape of the tongue (raised or flat). That has an effect. Now glide from one sound to the other without moving your lips. Experiment. Try doing eeee with your lips in the uuu shape and you may manage a German ü sound. Then glid from U to eee and back again, play around with it. Then, for the vowels practice, go from Uuu to aaah(wide open mouth) then widen to eee. Notice that eeee is a horizontal shape and UUU could be thought of as vertical. And Aaah is in the middle. Now glide from eeee to uuu through aaah. And back again You might start to hear harmonics, which is fun, another note on top. You will find any vowel you want, certainly any English or latinate vowel somewhere in there Hope that helps And to say that choir practice is a great leveller, doing some very strange exercises for voice, body and mental work too, and we don’t mind having a go, so don’t feel embarrassed to pull faces to do this. The harmonics are great fun by the way.

+Tetris_Citadel Thank you so much :)

i was in a buffet but ok

Was that a reference to Black Ops 3 and Frozen all in one?

HENDRICKS!

What were the other two?

Disney didnt make the music though

I love your Logo Mona Lisa I'm a big fan of the painting picture frame 🙂

I'm doing the same thing!! hahha I'm trying to convince my choir director to let us Vuelie in our next concert... but i haven't got the orginal score. Can you help me?

Greta Nirta www.boosey.com/shop/prod/Fjellheim-Frode-Eatnemen-Vuelie-SSAA-synthesizer-percussion/707564

Thank you very much!!! =)

Do you still have the sheet music? I was wondering what the time signature was for this piece.

Katherine Henderson It's in cut time, but since it's such a slow tempo, it feels like 4/4.

Also, didn't the Frozen track also include drums? just going off of my memory here

AmazangPeach! I thought so too, but it's actually just vocals in the beginning of Frozen. Great music regardless =)

xXSpaceNinjaXx No there are drums

that's nice of him not to make it a religious piece

​@Chuck Sta. Maria No, the song is a joik which does not have lyrics but the tune is based on 'Sweet is the earth/Fairest Lord Jesus'.

Cantus is releasing a new CD in March 2015, and they are collaborating with Frode on some of the songs.

+Lauryn Hayden Thank you so much! :)

:) !

Hey I'm doing the same in my choir!

My cousin sang it in choir. He is apart of the Eastman coral youth choir

I'm singing it for choir too

+Harmony Good luck to all of you! We're really happy that you enjoy the piece :)

+Harmony it's not a song it's a joik hahaha

This is the last part of the song: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairest_Lord_Jesus in Norwegian though. It's a christmas carol, so you should use the english for your wedding :)

Is your dress going to mimick the one worn by Elsa? Sounds incredible! I'm soooo on a Frozen kick right now it's not funny, and to top it all off, I'm a 31-year-old straight guy! My wife and I both are on a Frozen kick. This song makes me think of the Northern Lights...

Kavv Thanks for the link! We ended up using this version in our wedding, since it was the perfect crossover between religious and geeky film reference. :) Most of the people who were at my wedding would have recognized the tune regardless. It's a classic hymn.

jonegger1983 Oh, my husband was just as much in favor of the "Frozen" idea as I was. He was actually more stubborn about working in extra references to the film than I was, lol! But yes, I had a custom dress sewn that was inspired by Elsa's blue dress. So much more exciting than a traditional white dress, and ended up being cheaper, too, ha! Thanks, though! :)

Rachel Petersen You know what really gives me chills about this song? All the voices at the end singing the melody following a large yet gradual crescendo throughout the intro -- just as "Frozen" appears on the screen, as if to say,"get ready for some Nordic awesomeness... get ready...! BOOYA!!"

+Dean Miller Good luck, we're sure it will sound wonderful :)

+Jarrod Miller Thank you :)

+Cantus Norway the pleasure is mine, thanks for producing this master piece

+elsa1942 Could we hear it?

+Enikő Hintya Thank you! :)

+Marilyn Gronner Thank you!
