One of Sequentia's most intense fields of activity is the reconstruction of ancient northern European oral traditions, a magical world in which music, shamanism, and storytelling unite to recount the myths of a pre-Christian society. In this program, recorded in Iceland following years of research and live performance, Sequentia presents its renderings of the mythological songs and stories from the Old Icelandic Edda: tales of the gods Odin, Thor, Loki, and especially the haunting prophesies of the Volva, the ancient seeress who lives in the realm of the dead, who foretells the end of the gods, the original "Gotterdammerung". Three vocalists, medieval fiddles and lyres join to present a music of starkness and mystery, sung in the ancient Viking language which is still spoken by Icelanders today.
