In hannvol sann

This is a setting for SATB choir of a secular folk song in an unfamiliar language. The text speaks of what binds us to a small handful of earth, like a tiny piece of land or a handful of sand. It uses the imagery of being lost as children and seeking an anchor, suggesting that these fundamental connections are deeply ingrained within us. The music explores the feeling of being adrift, yet ultimately finding a sense of belonging in the small, yet profound, things that tether us to our origins.
