Video description: The hymn "Heyr, himna smiður" was written by the Icelandic viking Kolbeinn Tumason in 1208. The music was composed in the 1970s by Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson (1938-2013), one of Iceland's foremost contemporary composers. We performed this impromptu at the train station in Wuppertal, Germany, on September 15, 2013. We had just finished playing a regularl concert in an adjacent music venue and we're hanging out with our listeners after the show when we discovered the amazing acoustics inside the train station hall. Our friend Linda Iliste spontaneously recorded this on her camera, and we're very happy she did! To buy the sheet music: http://goo.gl/mZRSti
