Conceptually, it represents a profound research into Norwegian identity, specifically expressed through the texts that are written in "High Norwegian" or Høgnorsk, a purified synthesis of various dialects originating in the late 19th century. In Norway, the fight for the right to use dialects in writing, was traditionally connected to a fight for man's inner freedom against federal oppression. Musically, the ten songs represent a symbiosis of various styles, with their core in black metal, jazz and recitative poetry. They follow the underlying poetry with complex, sometimes progressive forms. At their best, Solefald's songs transform Norse aggressive ecstasy and man's alienation from civilization with profound, engaging textures. The massive use of choirs has been transcribed fully in to this edition. It is our belief that "Norrøn Livskunst" is an important research into an authenticity not necessarily meant to be found. Anyone with passion for the mysteries of the North, will not loose his time studying this music and its texts. France, September 20, 2016 NOTES 1) All additional and secondary voices, choirs and solistic instruments occurring on the main or secondary stems above the keyboard are written with small note-heads. They should, but must not imperatively, be preformed. 2) Original instruments are indicated in the beginning of each passage in italic. 3) Black metal vocals are characterized by the use of so-called “death growl”, which is an extreme combination of screaming with a deep pressurized rusty vocal noise, and singing. The exact pitch can only be notated approximately, and the singer typically slides between the notes, or rather timbre, for each syllable/word.
