  • The performance of Trevor Morris’ and Einar Selvik’s co-composed „Vikings Suite” was one of the most electrifying moments of the International TV Series Gala at 8th Krakow Film Music Festival. The orchestra Sinfonietta Cracovia, Polish Radio Choir and extraordinary soloists (Einar Selvik and Tina Guo) were led by the composer himself who conducted the suite.

    How is it that Katey Perry, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Kanye West have a million record sales for making cliche songs, repetitive beats, and lyrics with very little verse and no nuanced material, and yet, Einar and this amazing orchestra have very little views. I feel as though our generation has lost a very deep appreciation for music.

      Receptiveness to great stories means people have matured and understood the struggles and experience in their own lives to love complex stories.
      We live in a day when most people just sit and get angry at pictures of suffering, and have not experienced things like "starvation", "thirst", abandonment from parents and primary social institutions. They have to understand what life is without culture, to appreciate culture. The answer to that is "Get a job". As the Norwegian motto goes: Do your duty, earn your rights.

      the new generation's have not lost taste for music they just want new. and if they are brought up influenced by this music they will listen most of the time to the music they heard being brought up .but sadly if they were listening to this they would be frowned upon.because really only geeks and nerds listen to this stuff honestly

      He is paying respect to his ancestors, culture, people, and religion when he writes and sings his music. Both with Wardruna and his collaborations with other Nordic folk bands and various composers like Trevor Morris. Of course he puts his everything into it. One reason I love him as an artist.

Skin tone is the least important factor when judging differences between peoples. There are no less than 3 separate primary languages, 3 separate climates, and 3 separate heritages in this group. But because the Cellist is the only non white, you assume that everyone else is the same... utter ignorant racism.

      Norse warriors would slam their shields to psyche them up at the battle line. Chanting, maybe throwing some obscenities. Not like the William Wallace movie which is complete bollocks for the most part historically detail speaking (or dramatized or reinvented) but yeah, large wooden shields like this (sometimes reinforced with metal strips and clad in leather and painted) would make a very "woody" sound.

    It’s like Einar has to come back down to earth at the end. He almost looks like he doesn’t know where he is for a minute. Now that’s passion and every ounce of being put into something. Ty for this 💕

      Such passion he puts into the music, you can feel the emotion off of him.

    ETA: I forgot to mention I was on ketamine for treatment resistant depression when I was listening to this and wrote this lol! But still just as amazing every time. Okay well maybe not AS amazing, but still really great! This is just amazing. Literally just had tears. I saw a planet come together and fight against a common energy. All different creatures all come together with these crazy powers and sacrifice themselves against the enemy and the end it seemed like they were losing and finally the almighty sleeping father of the planet awoke bc of the power of its children and they not only destroyed the enemy- they made it their friend. Made it not want to be their enemy at all. It was beautiful. Tears are still in my eyes.

    I dream about playing this piece in an orchestra or choir one day. The goosebumps I get watching these people love every note, play and sing with such passion .... I've had that a few times, the best memory I can think of is singing the Carmina Burana with a full orchestra accompanying our choir of 60 people. I still shiver when thinking about it, but I have a feeling with this piece, it would be even more intense!
