The disc's repertoire ranges from Jan Sandstrom's arrangements of improvised folk songs of the Sami people - whose singing is among the earliest continuing vocal traditions of Europe - to recent works such as the sixteen-part Kosijat by Jaakko Montyjorvi, one of the best-known contemporary composers in Finland. The disc concludes with Anders Hillborg's twelve-minute Muoayiayaoum which explores a phonetic sequence of vowels that open and close. The level of vocal virtuosity that Dijkstra elicits from his singers is breathtaking and the choir's performances are a lesson in vocal precision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Sloabbme-Njunnje \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Kung Liljekonvalje \u003cbr\u003e1.3 FÖRVÅRSKVÄLL \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Biegga Njunnjí \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Biegga Luothe \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Gjendines BÅDNLÅT \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Min Yndlingsdal \u003cbr\u003e1.8 The Suitors \u003cbr\u003e1.9 The Sun \u003cbr\u003e1.10 The Moon \u003cbr\u003e1.11 The North Star \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Och Jungfrun Hon GÅR I Ringen \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Aftonen \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Kristallen Den Fina \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Mouyayoum\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Swedish Radio Choir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41742685012039,"sku":"19259635","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2053176.jpg?v=1749181686","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/swedish-radio-choir-dijkstra-nordic-sounds-2-super-audio-cd","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
