Hear, maker of the heavens,
what the poet asks.
May softly come unto me
thy mercy.
So I call on thee,
for thou hast created me.
I am thy slave,
thou art my Lord.
Happy Sunday.
From ClassicFM.com:
A few years ago, an Icelandic indie-folk group walked into a train station in the German city of Wuppertal and created an unforgettable moment of music.
The group was Árstíðir, and the music a 13th-century Icelandic hymn Heyr himna smiður, adapted by Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson, one of Iceland’s most important 20th-century composers.
The musicians had been attracted to the station building, which was built in the early 20th century by the Prussian State Railways and features a high, curved church-like ceiling.
As they sung the ancient words, their notes swirled in the huge resonant acoustic space.
