About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Folk
- Description: MOIRAI specialise in the musical treasures of the middle ages with a focus on what has been lost in time, long before current notation systems came into use and of which only tantalising glimpses remain. The unique trio use original written sources and oral traditions, which they artistically interpret and respectfully recombine. InchBlood Treasure, Woven FatesInch is a fascinating case in point. On their new album, MOIRAI bring an ancient story back to life that they have extracted from Old Icelandic manuscripts and perform in the original language. On eight of the ten album tracks they sing of the hero Sigurd, who kills the dragon Fafnir and wins a cursed treasure of red gold. They also sing of a bitter feud between two powerful women, Brynhild and Gudrun, and deadly intrigues at the Burgundian court that finally lead to three kings meeting their terrible fate in the halls of Atli, king of the Huns. With the first and the last track, MOIRAI embed their tale in a frame built from lines taken from the prophetic Old Norse poem 'Voluspa' (InchThe Prophecy of the SeeressInch). Yet while InchBlood Treasure, Woven FatesInch is firmly rooted in Old Icelandic language and literature, the trio takes a much wider perspective. The story of Sigurd is derived from much older Germanic sources that also inspired the Middle High German epic InchThe Song of the NibelungsInch. This poem was written down around the year 1200, and is therefore nearly contemporary with the 13th century Icelandic manuscript Codex Regius that MOIRAI went to study in Reykjavik in preparation of this album. While in Iceland, MOIRAI also studied the later Icelandic rÃ-mur type of poetry that probably began in the 14th century and last until the early modern period - and even underwent a modern revival in popular music. In a parallel to the story of the dragon slayer Sigurd told in Iceland and under the name S
