O helga natt (Adam) — Marianne Beate Kielland, mezzosoprano; Nils Anders Mortensen, piano
Lyrics: Placide Cappeau Melody : Adolphe Adam
Recorded in Lofoten kurlturhus – Svolvær
O helga natt, o helga stund för världen
Då Gudamänskan till jorden steg ned
För att försona världens brott och synder
För oss han dödens smärta led
Och hoppets stråle går igenom världen
Och ljuset skimrar över land och hav
Folk, fall nu neder
Och hälsa glatt din frihet
O helga natt
Du frälsning åt oss gav
O helga natt
Du frälsning åt oss gav
Ty frälsar’n krossat våra tunga bojor
Vår jord är fri, himlen öppen nu är
Uti din slav du ser en älskad broder
Och se, din ovän blir dig kär
Från himlen bragte frälsaren oss friden
För oss han nedsteg i sin stilla grav
Folk, fall nu neder
Och hälsa glatt din frihet
O helga natt
Du frälsning åt oss gav
O helga natt
Du frälsning åt oss gav
I nearly forgot to post this today!
O Magnum Mysterium (Lauridsen) — Marianne Beate Kielland, mezzo soprano; Ole Christian Haagenrud, piano
With thanks to Bradley Staubes & Trond Valldal for their beautiful apartment.
O magnum mysterium et admirabile sacramentum, ut animalia
viderent Dominum natum jacentem in praesepio. O beata Virgo,
cuius viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Jesum Christum.
Alleluia.
O great mystery and wonderful sacrament, that beasts should see the new-born Lord lying in a manger. O blessed virgin, whose body was worthy to bear the Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia
This is such fun (and I will take credit — or blame — for changing the name of the tune).

Lyrics & melody: Trygve Hoff
Velsigna du dag over fjordan.
Velsigna du lys over land.
Velsigna de evige ordan om håp og ei utstrakt hand.
Verg dette lille Du gav oss den dagen Du fløtta oss hit.
Så vi kjenne Du aldri vil la oss forkomme i armod og slit.
Vi levde med hua i handa, men hadde så sterk ei tru.
Og ett har vi visselig sanna: vi e hardhaussa vi som Du.
Nu har vi den hardaste ria, vi slit med å kave oss frem
mot lyset og adventsti’a, d’e langt sør tel Betlehem.
Guds fred over fjellet og åsen, la det gro der vi bygge og bor.
Guds fred over dyran på båsen og ei frossen og karrig jord.
Du ser oss i mørketidslandet.
Du signe med evige ord husan og fjellet og vannet og folket
som leve her nord
Bless you day over the fjord.
Bless you light over land.
Bless the eternal words of hope and an outstretched hand.
Guard this little You gave us the day You moved us here.
So we know You will never let us disappear in poverty and toil.
We lived with our head in our hands, but had such a strong faith.
And one thing we certainly have true: we are as tough as You.
Now we have the hardest ride, we struggle to dig our way forward
towards the light and advent time, far south to Bethlehem.
God’s peace over the mountain and the hill, let it grow where we build and live.
God’s peace over the beast in the stalls and a frozen and barren earth.
You see us in the land of darkness.
You sign with eternal words the house and the mountain and the water and the people
who live here in north
I am assuming this group has long since disbanded (the last album they made was in 2004). I think I’ve managed to find the entire program that I fell in love with so many years ago. The video isn’t great, but I still love listening!
