   About Gjallarhorn
GJALLARHORN - Innovative Nordic Sounds

Gjallarhorn features world music that is firmly rooted in the Swedish folk music of Finland, as well as the Norwegian and the Swedish traditions. Its talented performers offer the listener a personal, punchy, and yet nuanced, sound-world which rings to the echoes of the ancient Scandinavian folk traditions.

Through their intense and witty interpretations, allied to an innovative combination of instruments, the group creates a fascinating landscape around their mythical medieval ballads, hymns and whirling minuets.

Gjallarhorn's dynamic and expressive arrangements of world music have brought the old Nordic tonalities to modern audiences within fields as diverse as jazz, rock and world music.

As one of the leading exports within the field of Nordic music, the group also frequently tours the international arena, appearing in leading world music festivals.

Gjallarhorn has been fêted in many countries. Honours received include the coveted French "LaMonde de la Musique CHOC" and "Trad Magazine Bravos!!!" awards.


Press statements

"This is the new image of world music" Folk Roots/ United Kingdom

"This CD secures Gjallarhorn a safe place at the very top of Scandinavian folk music." Michael Moll / Folk World

"This group fuses contemporary and traditional music to create a unique experience." Horizont Music /Germany

"Grimborg is the third album from Finland's amazing Gjallarhorn, one of the leading lights of Scandinavia's lively folk scene. Grimborg is another stellar release from one of the most musically interesting areas on Earth." Michael Toland

"... this is full-blooded, gutsy beauty." - Folk Roots

"This CD secures Gjallarhorn a safe place at the very top of Scandinavian folk music." Michael Moll / Folk World

"This group fuses contemporary and traditional music to create a unique experience." Horizont Music /Germany

"This is the new image of world music" - Folk Roots " their music reaches you though the language barrier with effortless beauty and strength". - Rootsworld

"..like nothing we have heard before by the quartet led by the celestial voice of Jenny Wilhelms; which to my concern, is one of the most revealing female leading voices of the nowadays prog scene and the one that has been eternally consistent.". This production is impeccable and a must to unpredictable and audacious proggers. You'll get hooked on their music. - Prog Archives

Out of the shadows of the night
the PHOENIX rises from the ashes of the past
to stretch his wings and glide across
vast lands no soul has ever seen or known

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..? 

(C) David Franks 2003
