Tribute to Norwegian Baron
'Deilig er jorden" (The earth is beautiful) is a Nordic religious hymn. The hymn is usually sung during the Christmas period.
The hymn has origins from Silesia and Germany, and the melody used for the hymn has its origins in Silesian folk music. It was published by the Silesian German August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben under the collection "Schlesische Volkslieder mit ihren Melodien" in 1842, and the hymn is thought to have origins from pilgrims on their travel to Jerusalem. The melody was used by a Danish writer called Bernhard Severin Ingemann in 1850, following the request of his friend, Ferdinand Fenger to write words to the melody. The hymn was originally named Pilgrimssang (translated as the Pilgrim's song), by Ingermann. However the opening verse stuck around as the colloquial name.
