Photo: Anita Wirén Konstantis Lucas Stark & Bruksorkestern perform unknown as well as very familiar nordic chapbook songs and other older nordic songs. They mostly choose song from the 19th century, sailor´s songs, navy songs and songs about murder, love and historical events. Vivid stories where the lyrics and the storytelling ar given a big space, presented in musical arrangement that not always follow the given standard of how a chapbook song shall be performed, but with great respect for the original material. The varying musical arrangements exposes the lyrics and bring life to the stories. The CD ”Skillingtryck och andra otidsenligheter” (ER 11) was relased on February 12, 2007. |
