Kvölds í blíða blænum by Sigfús Einarsson — Lyrics
Kvölds í blíða blænum
berst mín sál til þín,
yst í úthafs sænum,
æskufoldin mín.
Vakir sól við sundin,
sofnar blómagrundin
daggarskrúði skín.

About Kvölds í blíða blænum
This atmospheric Icelandic partsong conjures the gentle Icelandic evening. The text evokes a peaceful scene, with the soul yearning across the sea to a cherished homeland, a setting sun, and blooming ground glistening with dew. Later verses paint a picture of rosy mountain peaks and the tranquil beauty of the fading light. Composed for SATB choir, Kvölds í blíða blænum offers a moment of serene reflection, suitable for a concert programme seeking to capture the evocative power of nature and homeland through rich, blended harmonies.
