What's the song called that starts at 1:05? I can't find it anywhere!

[mrosok]

@dvinb12345 1:05 is not a new song, it just continues. The song is Gjendines Bådnlåt, a norwegian folk tune, arranged by Gunnar Eriksson

[mrosok]

@dvinb12345 As with a lot of folk songs, the lyrics may vary a little depending on regions, dialects and musical settings. What we are singing here is as follows:

Barnet legges i vuggen ned,

stundom greder og stundom ler

Sove nu, sove nu, i Jesu navn,

Jesus bevare barnet

Min mor hun tok meg på sitt fang

Danse med meg frem og tilbake

Danse så, med de små, danse så,

Så skal barnet danse

[avoozl]

The blonde's smile at 2:22 just melts my heart...

[tjkcivic]

This is truly inspired choral singing. Thank you.

no matter how many times i listen to this video, all I get was awesomeness. The piece itself is beautiful, and then so beautifully sung, ah... no words can explain

[urssulas]

Really, really great performance!

[levmyshkin68]

I've never heard such a perfect performance of the Kyrie from Poulenc's Mass in G. The sopranos at 7:44 are incredible!

@mrosok Would there happen to be lyrics to Gjendines Bådnlåt lying around anywhere? Searches only found lyrics to Gjendines Bånsull, which wasn't quite the same.
