Haugaard and Høirup
lys light ljus licht valo luce lumiére luz
16.99

The leading lights of Danish folk music, fiddler Haugaard and guitarist/singer Høirup present their 2nd set of duets, straight up with no extras. Brilliant.

Listen to "Bjornekaeden" (full song in Real Audio)

Listen to some MP3 samples:
Lys
Norsk Rheinlander
Kalkmaedene

The musicians say:
"Lys contains a number of tunes that are new to us, including the 4 minute and 40 seconds long set, 'Morrisfield/Møller´s Trekant/Fire Mands Reel'. The first two tunes are by Harald and the last one is a traditional Danish reel. The beautiful menuet, Menuet du France, is traditional Danish. We never played this tune before going to the studio, but we already love it very much. The second take was just the way we wanted it, so that is the one you get on the CD!

'Det var en Lørdag aften' (On a Saturday night) is a bittersweet love song, and probably the most popular of all Danish ballads. She´s waiting for her lover, and every time she hears a knock on the door, she hopes it´s him. But he doesn´t come to her this Saturday night, and neither does he come to church the morning after. 'You didn´t come to church/for you are in love with someone else/and you´ve forgotten me'. At every step her heavy tears fall on the church path as she makes her way home alone to hide away the red ribbons that he gave her when they were betrothed, and she asks bitterly, 'How can you pick roses where roses do not grow/and how can you find love where love no longer dwells'?" - H&H

"their music as a duo is breathtaking ... They are without doubt one of the very best folk fiddler/guitar duos in the world. I know only less than a hand full of fiddle/guitar duos of a similar calibre." – www.folkworld.de

 Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
