This was absolute beauty. I am enamored by Norse culture, and this composition brings the beauty of Einar Selvik's vocals with exacting orchestral arrangements and a chillingly perfect cellist performance. I've literally listened to this three more times on repeat after filming.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Trevor Morris and Einar Selvik performing "Vikings Suite" for the first time live.

So this is actually a combination of two poems from the Eddas: Völuspa and Daradarljód. The lyrics are as follows (keep in mind most letter D’s in the following are actually the Icelandic letter eth and my iphones just not having it today): Völuspa part: Brædr munu berjask ok at bönum verdask, Munu systrungar sifjum spilla; Skelfr Yggdrasil askr standandi, Ymir it aldna tré, en jotunn losnar. Daradarljód part: Vindum vindum, vef darradar Thar er vé vada, vigra manna Látum eigi, líf hans faraz Eigu valkyrjur, vals um kosti. Vitt es orpit Fyr valfalli Vitt es orpit Fyr valfalli Rifs reidisky Rignir blódi!! English translation (to modern English so you don’t have to riddle out meanings) Brothers shall fight and fell one another And sisters sons shall kinship stain; Yggdrasil shakes, and shivers on high The ancient limbs, and the giant is loose; Let us now wind the web of war Where the warriors banners are forging forward Let his life not be taken; Only the Valkyries can choose the slain Blood rains From the cloudy web Blood rains From the cloudy web On the broad loom Of slaughter. Feel free to comment any corrections! My Icelandic and old Norse are not as strong as my Norwegian!

@Kherian4393 3 года назад

The translation is pretty accurate. I'd only rephrase the last bit of "Darraðarljóð", but that's mostly personal preference. Old Norse is pretty difficult to translate accurately to modern languages. Even modern Icelandic isn't accurate enough for more than an educated guess in some cases. For anyone reading through the comments looking for information on the poem themselves, I'd add that the first poem, Völuspá, is about Ragnarök; the end of the world. At least the part being sung here is. Völuspá in it's entirety is about both the creation and end of the world, as well as the known history of all in between those events. The second poem, Darraðarljóð, is from Njáls Saga. It's not actually one of the Eddas and is believed by many scholars to have been written in the 12th or 13th centuries, with the author being unknown. The part being sung here depicts a man in the Orkneys named Darraður. He finds 12 women, whom he believes to be Valkyries, who are weaving the fates of men on a loom, made of human skulls and intestines, and is fastened with swords. The women sing the poem "Darraðarljóð", and at the end of it they break the loom and ride on their way. I hope this helps anyone looking for some insight on the song and the lyrics. Also well done again on the translation above Magni.

@DJTheMetalheadMercenary 3 года назад

Fun fact: the newest Wardruna album "Kvitravn" was also Einar's stage name when he drummed for Gorgoroth (and some other session work in the BM scene). Gaahl (former frontman of Gorgoroth) actually helped create Wardruna, and is featured in backing vocals and instrumentation on the first 2 Wardruna albums before parting ways and helping in the background studio-wise for a time. Also, Einar Selvik and Ivar Bjornsson of the band Enslaved were commissioned by the Norwegian government to create music to celebrate the anniversary of Norwegian independence, that work and the Skuggsja project with Ivar has continued along with starting a record label called By Norse, and is equally as awesome.

@marder111 3 года назад

This is a remix you may say of a Wardruna song called Voluspa. That song in turn is an excerpt of the poem Voluspa a 66 verse poem from the 9th century detailing the death of the world (Ragnarök) and the rebirth of the world. That poem is written in the Norse rhyming style where many of the words in a sentence begins with the same letter. If you listen for it you can hear it.

@raphael2407 3 года назад

this, and they mixed in a stanza of Darraðarljóð from Njáls Saga.

I'm only just coming across this, and your reaction to the drumming on the cellos matches mine EVERY SINGLE TIME I listen to this. Just huge grins every time. I love this arrangement of the Vikings Suite. It's the thing that made me decide to see Wardruna in concert last year (finally, after it was pushed off twice due to the pandemic). If you ever have an opportunity to see them, TAKE IT. It's an experience. I had two friends who went with me completely unaware of what they were getting themselves into, and both promptly bought music afterward. One of them ended up grinning after the second song and held that grin through the whole show...he didn't anticipate enjoying it at all.

Oh, finally :D Really looking forward to this one. :) Wardruna and Einar are from my hometown, and I was at their concert in Bergen a couple of years ago, where Aurora joined on Helvegen. I think you already have react to that one :)

@Andy_from_de 3 года назад

Elizabeth has already reacted to Helvegen with Aurora already, that was her first encounter with Einar.

I lived at Bergen in 2016... Missed a couple of Wardruna concerts, and BOY how I am ashamed of such. Have to go back to Bergen and watch it. By the way, Bergen is THE best city in the world.

Considering his pagan/animistic background, I think this particular performance is one of the best examples that magic does exist. Einar holds so much magic and energy that he's able to transport even through a screen. Everytime I have seen him perform live, it gave me a rollercoaster of emotions! He's definitely my top favourite artist!

I love how excited you get about the science behind why you find something so great! It helps me see new things about songs I've taken for granted. Your passion for music is very contagious.

I love Trevor Morris. He’s worked on The Tudors and Downton Abbey (I think he did DA). He’s an amazing composer. He’s so underrated.

The fact that I actually live in Krakow and somehow missed that event, even though back then I lived within a waliking distance of the venue, will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I'm so happy you do this analysis! The whole performance is so beautiful and awesome but moreover I really LOVE Einars Voice and its so joyfull to see how you react to his voice and analyze him. His voice is so unique to me, besides it is so beautiful how he really >feel< while he sings. At the end Einar looks like if he totally has forgotten where he is and need a few seconds to find back to the audiance. I hope we will see a lot more reaction & analysis from you with Einars performances. Thank you!!

@kevinhenry68 3 года назад

Thank you for reacting to this! I love every single second of this performance. It gives me chills and makes my chest swell with emotion. Einar's and Tina's passion and energy while performing this are extraordinary. I'm a metal head (Dio!) but this may be the greatest thing I've ever heard. I've loved this song for a while now and it introduced me to the goddess known as Tina Guo!

@eduardobenassi3072 3 года назад

Great choice! I recommend adding "Raido" to your list, one of my favorite Wardruna songs.

@darinfields4238 3 года назад

As your Patreon folks no doubt noted, the opening is from Völuspá. A really beautiful solo performance of it by Einar is the Live at Castlefest Winter Edition from 2016. That simple haunting repeating pattern and the intense emotion he packs into his voice. Check it out.

@jenniferchoate5600 3 года назад

Personally, Einar's voice sounded a lot like Marko's (Nightwish) in that he has a bit of a natural primal distortion that is very ethnic and folk-y that makes it almost impossible to not listen to and enjoy it. I loved this song and I'll definitely add it to my playlist!

@chawkzero 2 года назад

I'm so thrilled to see you react to this! This song was shared to me from a friend back in 2015. THIS is the song that sent me down the rabbit hole of Viking/Nordic music, and it's been like 6 years now and I'm still not out. Einar's voice is incredible, and I can't get enough of the vibes and emotions from this style of music.

@TheNimbrod 3 года назад

Einar was defnitly blessed by the old gods. I am so happy to have a ticket for next years show here in Germany in an amphotheater

@kheidal 3 года назад

Einar's skaldic version of "Völuspá" is amazing, just Einar and his harp. As for the lyrics for it, he took various stanzas from the poem. Some from the start, some from the middle and some from the end. He was once asked if he would ever record the entire poem, to which he laughed and said "I would love to! But it's like 66 stanzas, so I'm not sure if I could manage to remember them all." I won't give up hope, but I understand if he never does it :P But I would highly recommend some of the songs off Wardruna's latest album "Kvitravn"!

Hey. I recognized a word. at 6:07 he says “Yggdrasil” or the Norse word for tree of life that is supposed to connect the realms. I learned that word when I was young and read Norse mythology. I heard it again in assassins creed Valhalla. Shit I love Einar so much. And I really love him and aurora together.

@bucketmouthinc2937 2 года назад

Einar’s music speaks to my past lives. I’d like this song played at my funeral.

@blackforestsociety824 3 года назад

This modern era of video and music which brings a chance that almost any performance is being recorded, somehow has allowed the listener and the viewer a unique opportunity. We are able to experience unique moments in a performers life that they will most likely never experience again. There is no doubt that this is such a moment for Einar as watching the ending you can see it in his expression, and how he almost seems to be coming out of trance as well. Your performance of Marten aller Arten is another example as well, as I believe you said you can only perform in that competition once. I've gotten to experience this as a personal moment a couple times in my life on much smaller scale, but it is something in music and video that when I stubble across it that I am ripped open emotionally in the best way possible.
