Kim André Rysstad
And I think it is important to be musically diverse. Rysstad, on the other hand, is particular about keeping his musical interests and idioms apart. He has now embarked on a master degree at HiT in Rauland, which will result in a thesis that examines old note sheets from his native Setesdalen in Telemark. It was described as a different and long-sought release that truly manages to convey the deep emotions and subtle beauty of the stev tradition, which is a characteristic vocal expression. His debut record, entitled Tak hardt uti hand, was released last year and received fine reviews. Norwegian Når mørkret kjeme og omsluttar meg Held du ei lykt i di hand Og eg veit du vil vente, og eg veit det vil bli Eit under, så vidunderleg når du fylgjer meg fram For om det blese ville vindar og brenning bryte ivi skjær Hev eg ei hamn i dine armar, eg kan kvile meg der Om eg går gjenom djupe dalar, om eg står framom høge fjell Gjev du meg ro i dine salar når det stilnar mot kveld Når steg blir tunge og stien er smal Set eg så fot framfor fot For eg veit du vil koma, og eg veit det vil bli Eit under, så vidunderleg når du tek meg i mot For om det blese ville vindar og brenning bryte ivi skjær Hev eg ei hamn i dine armar, eg kan kvile meg der Om eg går gjenom djupe dalar, om eg står framom høge fjell Gjev du meg ro i dine salar når det stilnar mot kveld Om eg går gjenom djupe dalar Om eg står framom høge fjell Fer eg ro når det stilnar mot kveld Translation When the darkness comes and surrounds me You hold a lantern in your hand And I know you will wait, and I know it will be A wonder, so wonderful when you follow me there Even if wild winds are blowing and waves are breaking over reefs I have a haven in your arms, I can rest there If I walk through deep valleys, if I stand in front of high mountains You make me calm in your house when the night comes When steps become heavy and the path is narrow I put one foot before the other Because I know that you will come, and I know it will be A wonder, so wonderful when you take me in Even if wild winds are blowing and waves are breaking over reefs I have a haven in your arms, I can rest there If I walk through deep valleys, if I stand in front of high mountains You make me calm in your house when the night comes If I walk through deep valleys If I stand in front of high mountains I am calm when the night comes. Folkelarm has become an important festival, and its booming development, from a niche gathering to an international happening, is a good indication of the present standing of traditional music in Norway.
