Icelandic folk songs Sung by Engel Lund. Arranged and accompanied by Ferdinand Rauter.
These are the folk songs that Engel Lund sings - Almighty, God, of all classes; From the east the cold blew upon us; So it was in the villages; Bee, bee and flutter; The blue star though it shone brightly; The right hand of the Lord; A hermit once; Once I crossed the Rhine; Beautiful are the fjords; Beautifully did the bird crow; Fífilbrekka, green ground; A good feast shall be made; A good feast shall be made; Crying I come now, my God to you; God gave me an ear; Here under the earth rests the dust; Stop crying, ringing; Sheep bleat in the huts; I say goodbye to a woman; Evening is coming, the sun is setting; Evening is coming, the sun is setting; Kiss me, the soft maiden; The little children are playing; With joyful voices and holy music; My mother in the shelter, shelter; Now I want in your name; Oh, my bottle of beauty; Sleep, my young love; Sleep, my tender child; Let us stand two in the field; Summer is already setting gently; The breeze sings; My tongue, be not slow; Up, up my soul; Be strong, good; The world of fleas shows itself; There is so much, if only one is careful.
Engel Lund (July 14, 1900 – June 15, 1996) was a Danish-Icelandic singer and was known as a folk singer around the world. She was also a well-known music teacher in Reykjavík after 1960. She was of Danish descent but was born in Iceland and raised here until the age of eleven. Engel Lund was often called Gagga.
Her parents were Michael Lars Lund, a chemist in a Reykjavík pharmacy, and his wife, Emilie Marie Magdalene Hansen. She graduated from high school in Copenhagen in 1919 and then studied singing in Copenhagen, Paris and Germany. From 1933 she toured almost continuously, but she settled in London during World War II and worked there for a long time. She was known as a folk singer around the world and had the custom of ending all her concerts with an Icelandic folk song, most often the song Litlu bärnäinen leik síð.
Engel moved back to Iceland when she stopped singing publicly in 1960. She was a long-time teacher at the Reykjavík School of Music and taught her students at home until she was ninety. In 1960 she released an album and a book about Icelandic folk songs and explanations of them. It is also worth mentioning that Sigurður Nordal wrote a well-known article about her, which he called Litla stúlkan í apótekinu, in connection with her first concert tour in Iceland. The article was originally published in the magazine Unga Ísland in 1947 and then in Félagsbréf Almenna bókafélagins in 1961 and in Morgunblaðið in 1980. Engel Lund was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Icelandic Falcon Order, among other things for her teaching work and her role in promoting Icelandic folk songs abroad.
