Kata - 1902 CD

The melodies that have been used as starting points for KATA’s interpretations
are first and foremost found in the following books by musicologist
Marianne Clausen (1947 – 2014):

Skjaldur, rímur og ramsur: orð og løg: upptikin 1902-2000 (Stiðin, 2012);
Føroya kvæði. corpus carminum Færoensium, Bind 8: Løgini (Stiðin, 2003);
Andlig vísuløg í Føroyum: upptikin 1902-2002 (Stiðin, 2006)

In some cases, we have also used recordings from the archives of the
University of the Faroe Islands
www.setur.fo/bandasavn as inspiration.

In most of our arrangements we sing an excerpt a few selected verses, of the
traditional ballad. Each of us has written short explanatory texts about the songs which
Heiðrún Hödd Guðmundsdóttir has translated into English.
