Tune of the Day: Gjendines bådnlåt
Traditional Norwegian lullaby
Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg first heard this song in 1891, sung by Gjendine Slålien, a dairy maid and folk singer, at her mountain homestead in Vestland. Grieg made the lullaby famous by using its melody in his 19 Norwegian Folk Songs, Op. 66.
Thanks to Leomar for suggesting this tune!
