Various - Sea Fever

Since the beginning of time the sea has played a key role in all life on Earth. Throughout history composers, authors and poets have been inspired by its thundering power, its grandeur, its calm and its murky depths. There is a huge treasure chest, several hundred years old, to draw from. The songs selected here range from traditional Celtic sea shanties to German national-romanticism and darker tones from our own time. Some are unknown and have not been recorded before, such as the choir�s previous leader Josef Hedar�s setting of Karl Asplund�s Klockbojen (Bell Buoy). Others are better known, such as Hugo Alfv�n�s Gryning vid havet (Dawn by the sea) to Sten Selander�s text � a classic in the malevoice repertoire.
