"Yoik as a starting point" at Nord University is a study developed by Frode Fjellheim and perhaps the only university study in the world where students get to work with yoik as a starting point for creating new music.
At the bottom of this is a solid introduction to yoik as a musical expression - and a basic introduction to Sami culture. Students can create their own yoiks, use elements from traditional yoik in new contexts and learn how Europe's oldest living music tradition can give you new musical ideas for your own music. the only university program in the world where students get to work with yoik as a starting point for creating new music.
Bárut (Sámi language for wave) makes music where old musical traditions meet!
Norwegian and Sami traditional music is performed in a modern soundscape where intense grooves are mixed with joik, vocal riffs and goat horn! Bárut is relentlessly inclusive and thinks that all cultural expressions can talk together; With goat horn, kudu horn and didgeridoo at the front, Bárut presents Norway's rawest line of brass instruments! This is ancient music with nerve!
SKRUK & FRODE FJELLHEIM
Vaerieh mov aalhtarinie - My altar is the mountain
Frode Fjellheim and SKRUK have created a sparkling album, a meeting between Sami music, hymns, church music and Argentine tango.
The prestigious award is awarded this year to Frode Fjellheim, who has been a central player in the dissemination and revitalization of Sami cultural heritage through his own work as a composer, and in close collaboration with Sami artists - also from the South Sami and Ume Sami music fields.
The Stay At Home Choir has announced that their first project in 2022 will be Vuelie. Here is what they write on their web page: "Disney fans will recognise Vuelie from Frozen, but we’re thrilled to be singing a magical new choral arrangement, and we’ll be joined in rehearsals by Sámi composer Frode Fjellheim. ✨ 🎶 You’ll also get a unique opportunity to learn to yoik - a traditional style of Sámi singing - and we’re inviting young singers to join us for a special free open session to sing the children’s voice part!"
Beaivi, áhčážan, Eanni, eannážan is a worthy tribute to parts of Valkepää's art. The production shows his world of art and poetry, but to an even greater extent it displays Fjellheim as a composer, a composer who shows us how to make classical music on Sami premises. (scenekunst.no)
Frode Fjellheim has composed music for the opening performance at the Arctic Arts Festival 2021. The 7 female performers who are on stage are renowned dancers, yoikers and singers. The yoik is a key element in the performance and the performers will both yoik and dance.
Frode Fjellheim's opening song for Frozen "Vuelie" is used in several places in the film - including at the end of the trailer below. In addition, he has made a new song: The Reindeer Circle, also performed by the choir Cantus from Trondheim.
The movie is also available in Northern Sámi language: "Jikŋon 2".
