invitation 邀舞

We came across a chapter in a book where, in 1674, the English journalist Edward Head describes his first experience of Irish traditional music. He writes: «In every field a fiddle, and the lasses footing it, till they are all of a foam!».
Feverish and happy, the melody here flings its way through the rhythmically driven arrangement, inviting the listener to join in the revelry. This Norwegian-inspired tune undergoes a joyful metamorphosis and ends in an energetic jazz funk. Bjørn Orla Roach co-arranged Invitation, adding bright new colours and unleashing its innate energy.

我们在书中读到1674年英国记者爱德华·海德描述他初次接触爱尔兰传统音乐的章节："每片田野都响着提琴声，姑娘们欢快起舞，直到汗如雨下！"这首充满挪威风情的乐曲以狂热欢愉的旋律穿越节奏强烈的编曲，邀请听众共赴盛宴。它在欢乐的变奏中最终蜕变为活力四射的爵士放克。比约恩·奥拉·罗奇参与编曲，为作品注入鲜亮色彩并释放其原始能量。

duo 二重奏

The classically inspired theme was originally written as a violin piece. During the arrangement process, we conceived the idea of transforming the melody into a musical dialogue between two instruments. We were honored when English cellist Julian Lloyd Webber accepted our recording invitation. Cello and violin become two voices sharing emotions, adding new dimensions to the duet. Conductor Steven Mercurio's orchestration creates an empathetic musical backdrop for this instrumental conversation.

这个古典风格的旋律最初是为小提琴独奏而作。在编曲过程中，我们萌生了将其发展为两种乐器对话的创意。很荣幸英国大提琴家朱利安·劳埃德·韦伯接受了我们的录制邀请。大提琴与小提琴化作两个倾诉情感的声部，为二重奏开拓新维度。指挥史蒂文·梅尔库里奥的管弦乐编曲为这段器乐对话营造出共鸣深厚的音乐背景。

belonging 归途

In both Norway and Ireland, connection to the elemental is a strong part of our heritage. This is the inspiration for this pastoral melody, where the polarity between Irish uilleann pipes and Arabic oud played by Åsa Juntar, represents the differing landscapes that embrace us; making us one with them; giving us our sense of place and belonging. Co-arranger, Kjetil Bjerkestrand, used an old pedal Harmonium which, with all of its squeaks and noises, reminds us of the natural and organic sounds from the places where we most belong.

在挪威与爱尔兰，与自然元素的联结是我们共同的文化基因。这首田园牧歌的灵感正源于此——爱尔兰风笛与奥萨·琼塔尔演奏的阿拉伯乌德琴形成鲜明对话，象征拥抱我们的不同地貌，让我们与土地融为一体，赋予我们归属感。联合编曲人谢蒂尔·比耶克斯特兰使用了一架老式脚踏簧风琴，那些吱呀声响恰似故土最原始的自然之音。
