Arve Moen Bergset/Bukkene Bruse - Norway folk song

Arve Moen Bergset was born in 1972. As a five-year-old his family settled in Vinje in Telemark, a county with strong traditions concerning Norwegian traditional music. He has learned from many sources, the most important is Sondre Bratland who he began taking singing lessons from at the age of eight.
Arve Moen Bergset had his kveding (Norwegian traditional folk singing) debut during the broadcasted national gramophone prize show in 1987. One year later he won the Norwegian Grammy award in the category of traditional music for the record "Arvesølv". With the group "Bukkene Bruse" (the Billy Goats Gruff), Bergset was selected to be an OG musician, related to the 1994 Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway. This group is still going and have made three recordings.
He has as a violinist played with, among others, Oslo and Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1990 he won the first price in a national competition for young string players, and received one year later the second soloist compotition of the Norwegian Youth Orchestra.
Bergset studied violin with, among others, Lars Anders Tomter and Leif Jørgensen. In 1995 he received a "Higher diploma of chamber music with solo instrument included" at the Norwegian State Academy of Music. As a traditional folk singer and violinist he has won several prices and participated in many TV -and Radio productions. Bergset is one of the artistic leaders of "Vinterfestspill I Bergstaden", a music festival which appears once a year in Røros in Norway.

I am a Frenchman from the west of the country, where Celtic culture is still very strong. And this nice music reminds me my Celtic roots. Norwegian people should be proud of their culture and I can only hope the young generation will keep singing and playing that music because it's absolutely beautiful!

Really beautiful song, the scandinavian folk music is one of my favorites. Greetings from Mexico.

[@Tigardjones]

Best regards, from The U.S.A.

[@9MenWalking]

There are more Norwegians in the world than there are in Norway. This is a good thing.

[@Tigardjones]

***** Well this is the U.S.A and my great grandmother had spoken them in Norwegian. So You don't have to inform me of anything you religiously intolerant ass. I guess her peaking my interest in your country should be negated by the fact you hate Jesus. Huh? No because I know you are only one of a kind. Generally speaking, I know Norwegians wouldn't be this rude.

[@Tigardjones]

***** And personally I don't give a fuck whether Jesus exists or if a giant flying haired being created the earth. It's principle and respect you fucking dimwit.

[@iridragron]

+Olaf Tvennumbruni Could you please explain a little about your culture (the original one without interferences)

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

Richard i wpuld say yes and no, yes if the left by choice , no if they left for lack of opportunities in their country.

[@dsthorp]

Long live Norway!

[@uemciicmeu]

Such beauty! I unwittingly let my life get filled with garbage, on tv, the computer, etc. Then when I hear something like this, it reminds me that it's just as easy to fill it with joy and loveliness. Thank you for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful voice.

[@sveingrimstad9151]

Fantastisk fin versjon av Mitt Hjerte Alltid Vanker. Jeg anbefaler også å høre Sissel Kyrkjebø synge denne sangen. Og Morten Harket sammen med sølvguttene i 1987. Begge finnes på KZbin.

[@treblechoir99]

Absolutly Stephen. Arve has a wonderful destiny. He's one of my favourite boy singer ( other and different from Bel Canto approach)

[@Doug.Dimmadome]

Trust me, there are more than you might know... ;-) I've been a fan of Scandinavia, especially Norway, for years now. I love the nature, landscape, culture, history and language and folklore. I would trade my life in the Netherlands for Norway or Iceland in 1 second!! ;-) This is such beautiful music... I listen this playlist daily. Damn, how i'd like to live in Norway... ;-) I'm going to try obviously. Med vennlig Hilsen, Michael

[@grayfiresoul]

The picture of the winding highway built alongside that mountain in the Autumn season is the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina! Quite a ways away from Norway, but the the High Country of the Appalachians is a beautiful representation for more than just the US ;)

[@NeglectedField]

[@ericknaranjo7209]

hermosa voz

[@treblechoir99]

First song, Xmas carol: 'My heart always wanders to where Jesus born, where my longing finds its home'. Second It's a love story between a man and Mary, pain and sad because a long separation.

[@pianoforthesoul1D]

sang this is grade 5 for my class heritage project :) best desicion ever... now no one knows what i say when i speak norwegian!

[@twrecks9119]

Beautiful

[@jamdwhi]

It is unmistakably beautiful. Somehow though, I always sense pain in all folk music. The words themselves may not be a narrative to the painful times, but the tone definitely is. It's hard for me to escape.

[@gunnarthorsen]

The music that I hear in this song is balanced in terms of pain or sadness. Parts are in a minor key, but parts in major keys also soar and lift the heart. This is life; - not completely good, but not completely bad either. In the midst of some of the worst suffering on the planet, people still manage to find hope. As an aside, an Irish friend once told me that traditional Irish love songs are sad, while traditional Irish war songs are happy. Odd, yes? :)

[@2silvertv]

breathtaking

[@IronIsMad]

jeg liker det... greetings from Poland

[@nisgel]

The first one is really beautiful. The text was written in 1732 by the Danish poet H. A. Brorson. Dear Norwegian brethren :-)

Very impressive !

[@EviMariposas]

THANK YOU!

[@valllhalla]

Vakkert !

[@epicpolyphony]

So beautiful.... I am falling in love with Bukkene Bruse. Does anyone know of any other groups or artists that are similar, but incorporate singing more?

[@arnev94]

allot of this kind of singing her on youtube. it's a very traditional way to sing, and it's mostly preformed by young boys, or girls of all ages. But yeah, you gotta look a little to find them on here ;) The songtype "kulokk" is based on the same kind of singing, only accustics tho. It was used by the girls that when looking and watching over the cattle in the mountain's. They used to sing, to bring them home. You also might like the song "eg er framand" that you will find if you search the name on here :) then there should come up recomended simmilar songs as well :)

Jeg elsker denne sagen.

[@mohammadsh3519]

there are too many different cultures around this world.each one of them has it's own color and taste. of course we grew up with the culture of our own region and we get used to it but sometimes our heart takes us somwhere far. somewhere we didn't born in but we wish to live and die in.i love Scandinavia and especially Norway.

[@treblechoir99]

Absolutly, the Music is Universel.

[@sofijamaric95]

greeting from serbia

[@treblechoir99]

@atemoyaful I think so. Arve is magnificent as singer and musician.

Et tusen takker fra en gammel Nordmann.

[@darwinmedinamusic]

I love that country.

[@treblechoir99]

Yes very impressive

[@PercivalC]

the Scandanavian culture is so... different. makes me proud to have my minor origins from such places. For sure on my mothers side, at least. And my father is mostly Irish, and a bit German. My mother is Irish mostly, and Swedish + English. My roots are most likely just northern european then, right? the viking art affected the britonic art as well. very interesting. Cheers from Canada

[@llifeform]

NYDELIG! Nettopp begynnt å oppdage folkemusikk.... UTROLIG vakkert. Evt. andre gode tips til lignende kvalitetsmusikk i Norge? Viktige band og artister...?

[@joekeenan6435]

WOW!

[@vallenato]

beauty!! :D

[@treblechoir99]

rewarding moment.

[@treblechoir99]

Look for the other video, above. Also beautiful. Thank you, apprecit your comment.

[@odinmp5]

being of swedish /danish ancestry i found this song amazing.. this is wonderful, the rest of the world should know!!

[@hakondenglade]

This seem to be a colection of classical hymns. The first one is also a Christmas song. It is not easy to transelate in a poetic way. But I will try to transelate some of it for you: First verse: My heart allways dwells in the room where Crist was born. There all my thoughts are gatherd in total in their total sum. There my yearning belong. There my faith has its treasure. I can never forget you - Oh blessed Christmas night. ...

[@treblechoir99]

@BIasphemer My friend, the first comment by Yuyu said my video is not link by the religion or politic. For me the music is Universal: christian, muslims, atheist, and all. In youtube we have this channels about the politic or religion. Long time I read all this comments about this situations, I respect all opinions.

[@Twiggi]

Lol i cannot help myself, but your language reminds me the one that they use in skyrim; btw. I LOVE THEM

[@metalandstuff9367]

Im learning Norwegian so I know what it translates to. but I wanted to know if anyone knows if there is a deep meaning to it??? because to me it sounds like a wedding after a long separation or distance between the two. I dont know, it sounds kind of Longing and Relief filled. But thats just my opinion... anyone know??? Either way its absolutely beautiful!!! its quickly becoming one of my favorite songs.

[@treblechoir99]

@northernking90 You're very welcome.

[@treblechoir99]

@2dollarkevin Yes. You're very welcome.

[@ThSkBj]

Norwegian folk music and traditional music resembles lots of the traditional music found any place on the british isles. The scandinavians and the british influenced eachother alot. Both in art architecture, clothes and music.

[@doutzen177]

@theresavh1 :) Agree :) Political and religious discussions can be held somewhere else - this is just a song, and it is nice listening to it - without having discussions about religion and politics :)

[@ArjanFFP]

wonderful!

[@JunNights]

here is the second text (the last song) this is the first verse of the last psalm; Maria hun er en jomfru ren, Gud monne sin miskunn vise, hun fødte en sønn foruten mén, ham skulle vi love og prise; han har oss alle av synden løst, han give oss trøst, og himmeriks evige lise. (end 07.33) 'lise' is the same as 'lindring' - meaning relief. (taking away the pain, or lessening it is more accurate, only not completely right). can't seem to find the correct verses so this is it :-)
