Christmas at Bolteløkka

Bolteløkka Girls Choir, from Bolteløkka school at Bislett in Oslo, is celebrating their 10th anniversary with the album "Jolevisur". The choirs conductor Linn Andrea Fuglseth, from Trio Mediaeval fame, originally founded the choir and is still the choir´s conductor. In 2010 Grappa released the choirs debut album "Mine Visur – Folk from children in the city." Still in the spirit of folk music the girls gives accounts of Prøysen´s "Musevisa", Odd Nordstoga´s "Jolevise", Sibelius´ "Julvisa" and the old "Staffan was a stalledräng". Also hymns "My heart always wanders" and "Det hev ei rosa sprunge" are among the songs on this quaint Christmas album, but we also get a number of lesser known songs. The choir consists entirely of schoolchildren from Bolteløkka – closer eighty girls from the age of six to twelve years. The choir has previously collaborated with a number of musicians, among them Stian Carstensen, Arve Henriksen and Birger Mistereggen. On this new refreshing album the choir is accompanied by the musicians Vegard Vårdal, Åsmund Reistad, Sigurd Hole and Kenneth Ekornes.

Christmas songs

“We’re presenting Christmas songs this time: ancient and brand new, Norwegian and Swedish, and some that aren’t heard every year,” says director Linn Andrea Fuglseth. “I always look for the ones that are heard least. ‘Et barn er født i Betlehem’, in a version from Sørkedalen, for example. I had never heard that melody before discovering it in Jørn Simen Øverli’s book Markaviser recently.”
