Sissel Kyrkjebø - Koppången

Listen to another piece of heaven from the beautiful Sissel Kyrkjebø. This is an old Swedish melody composed by Per Erik Moraeus. Sissel is accompanied here by Kalle Moraeus.

[@annaalisianystrom]

This beautiful song we played on our mother's funeral😢

[@Granda16]

I don't believe in God, but if anything COULD persuade me, then Sissel Kyrkjebø singing this song would be it.......

[@bernarddelmer3867]

Some people are entrusted with rare talents and not all of them use them the way they should,but Sissel is not one of those people.This is indeed a rare and most beautiful voice and a privilege to listen to.

[@BaileyofMunich]

an angel's voice!?

[@sabyegrp]

Simply well said. Sissel is from my home town of Bergen, and a true treasure.

[@zz8sfk]

Well spoken! My sentiments, exactly... Love it...

[@jacekscuba]

This song and Sissel's voice are so beautiful. Whenever I hear it, the world seems to be a better place.

[@BOB-ro4hv]

I don't understand a single word of the language but that is just fine...Sissel's exquisite voice is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.

[@glennfulkerson3560]

Me too, Bob.....Me too!

[@candyparton6472]

Breathtakingly beautiful. 💜💫

[@tranantowe]

Underbara Sissel ! Vilken röst och utstrålning !!

[@rosineguerrero5712]

My favorite of all the songs sung. The melody, the high lilting notes, everything about it even though I don’t understand a word being sung.

[@larryps8411]

Beautiful woman with a wonderful voice singing beautiful song. Never gets old.

[@prestongarrison8964]

The most beautiful folk song ever.

[@Baboonass]

The best thing about this is the applause at the end. Then you realize, this is a live performance. Amazing!

[@noriemeha]

How have I lived so long and not heard this beautiful tune before. And then this voice that scales the heights and then the heavens too. One of life's great experiences.

[@OLDJOE83]

A beautiful singer and a beautiful song, she is to me PERFECT.

[@serrano880]

All the red roses of the world are not enough to praise this beautiful rendition. Kalle's violin was superb too.

[@Kajsa305]

Detta är pure Heaven!! Tack Sissel och Tack Orsa Spelmän!!

[@gunlarss]

Vad är då detta. This is an old Swedish melody composed by Per Erik Moraeus

[@TheTexn]

If you wish to be an angel.........all you must do is act as if you are one. God's gift.

[@BoJuhlin-q5h]

God bless Sissel! ❤️🙏❤️

[@ingelavasari9538]

Detta är Sveriges själ, låt den aldrig dö!

[@mineral50music]

Sometimes on a a rare occasion the art or performance transcends the original langauge. I Do not speak any of scandnavian languages, but the singing and the violin playing this tune still can move me to tears.

[@boasadolphi789]

Wonderful song, and a wonderful singer, Sissel, and also with a wonderful violin player. Kalle More'us

[@lugnavatten63]

A beautiful moving sound for so near to Christmas. Sissel and Kalle are both so hugely talented. To hear them both together is a real treat. Thank you so very much.

[@prestongarrison8964]

This is where it all started for me 3 years ago. So I've now been to Bergen and heard Sissel twice.

[@noriemeha]

If only life would be so good to me.

[@sabyegrp]

I was born in Bergen, and Sissel is our treasure.

[@mikehorton6225]

What a beautiful song...and the perfect voice to sing it.

[@rosineguerrero5712]

I enjoy this song just for its melody. I don’t understand a word of it.

[@lelandroth635]

On my Sissel playlist, too. God what a song & voice to grace it with♫

[@keithdelabat]

Nobody does it like Sissel !

[@hughharris6182]

When love and skill get together expect a masterpiece ,fantastic !!

The song, a vocal mirror to loveliest of nature, so inviting to absorb...like an emotionally intense prelude to a sweet lullaby. Sissel's voice gives views of enchantment.

[@georgealexander8661]

SISSEL...A beauty with a voice beyond language. ❤♥️❤

[@harmonicapal]

This is the ULTIMATE rendition of the unbelievably Divine Koppången song! Put on your headphones, switch off the lights, press play, shut your eyes and get teleported to the world of divinity which is far away from the fake and corrupt one we live in. ...Experience Divine Wonder.. Sissel and Erik, you two are geniuses par exellence (bow)

[@lelandroth635]

Yes...huuuuuu goes the trill inside me when Sissel sings in any language of love & eternity 🌈

[@Judi7Caroler]

Koppangen - beautiful!

kopp ånden lyrics

[@prestongarrison8964]

Koppången lyrics in English There is stillness and silence, as the ground is coloured white From the safe, old church the song is flowing out I have paused at the road to rest for a while And was caught by the borderland that unites night and day And a ray of light behind the arched window frame Has united those spirits that are here in time with us And I know that those who have left us have understood that we are Like flickering flames as long as we are here And there among twinkling stars that fade one by one Life comes really close, like a glimpse of truth We are prisoners in time, like a palmprint On a frosty old window given mercy by the passing of time For a second I am eternal and then I know nothing more Only this, that I live as fully as any other I am here and in the middle of a frozen road there is still warmt Even as the snow starts falling and the sky turns grey There is stillness and silence as the hymn fades out But I carry the old words in my heart just as before And I sing to the heavens, maybe someone else listens "Hosianna in the highest," then I start to walk And I go to the others, I want to feel Cristmas peace I want to believe that He was born and exists with us in time It is Christmas and there is a child in me that wants to think that it happened, And that lights a candle every Advent Sunday

The still is when she is singing Egg ser. It is the same concert but it is not when singing O mio babbino caro. The expresion of her face goes with the context of the song. Greetings. Thnks for the vid.

[@warrenpugh7844]

55 years ago, or so, Mantovani came to Seattle, WA, and my emotions were tapped just like this lovely young lady's voice. I could not applaud because the applause seemed so vulgar after such beautiful music. Awe?

[@antonioprotasio4323]

Sissel um anjo! Tão cedo não teremos um anjo com toda essa performace Parece até, que Deus deu tudo somente para ela Seus olhos, Seu jeitinho tão bem desenhado, sua boca que a cada vez que elabora um vibrato, parece acompanhar com curvas graciosas. Há meu Deus... Se sissel durante a minha existencia eu irei existir para sempre e serei imortal. Quanto ouço o seu cantar tudo o que bonito nessa terra me envolve o céu, as flôres, os campos verdes e bem tratados. Me transporto sua essencia domina-me

[@zobben]

Men hun er Norsk, fin sang.

[@TStorms005]

so good Sissel aha

[@arthurtreemblay3324]

une voix angélique qui fait plaisir a écouter

[@antonioprotasio4323]

Sissel an angel! So soon we will have an angel with all this performace It even seems that God gave everything to her only His eyes, His knack so well designed, his mouth that every time you prepare a vibrato, seems to accompany with graceful curves . There is God... If sissel during my existence I will exist forever and be immortal . As I hear her singing all that this beautiful land surrounds me the sky, the flowers, the green fields and well treated . I transporto its essence dominates me

Enastående Vackert och Kristallklingande, Lysande klart - men Ni får inte glömma bort att det är vår egen fantastiska Svenska Py Bäckman som står bakom själva texten - - Tobbe I Bohuslän -

[@ankra12]

Thbenjaminsson vakkert ❤️

[@janajindrova8090]

Den vackraste rösten som finns på jorden, det är Sissel.

[@ingrideckerman6087]

The tune came to Kalle's brother Per-Erik in 1998, when he was skiing over the wetland, a nature reservate - so you cannot say it's an old tune. Py Bäckman wrote the text that is about the snow, the sky, the stars, the living, the dead - but not about xmas. It was recorded first time 1999 by Ann-Sofie von Otter, a version that is better than this one. We fiddlers use to play it now and then. The photo illustrating this tune above is probably not from Sweden. Our mountains look different.

[@lelandroth635]

Ingrid Eckerman I disagree...Sissel does it better♩

[@blfalken]

I love Sissels voice while Ann-Sofies leave me indifferent and I think Kalle Moreus plays a lot more expressiv in this recording.

[@noriemeha]

Sissel sang this performance at the end of a concert and no doubt her voice was tired but she gave it her best, IMO. Any great voice can go to a studio and work on a single song and end up with the consummate capture.

[@oldgymrat71]

Danka!

[@prestongarrison8964]

If she started singing that for me, she could lead me anywhere I think. :)

[@anneliasson2585]

+Preston Garrison I Think Sissel could lead you everywhere even if she is silent?

[@prestongarrison8964]

Beauty and charm can be found many places. But where else could you find a voice like that?

[@lelandroth635]

Preston Garrison Haley Westenra...perhaps, too? Lol

[@lars-eriklarsson8067]

Maybe the best version
