Gavin Bryars - From Egil’s Saga og íslensk tónskáld

Rúni Brattaberg baritón

Caput plays Gavin Bryars piece from 2004, From Egli’s Saga with the world wide know Faroese Baritone singer Rúni Brattaberg. The piece is scored for low instruments; bass clarinet, bassoon, french horn, violas, celli and basses.

The piece takes its text and narrative material from Egil's Saga, one of the great classics of Icelandic literature set in the 10th century, but written around 200 years later. The words I set (in Icelandic) are those of Egil, an astonishingly fierce Viking warrior but also a stunning poet - one of the most original and advanced of his time. The extracts from the poems come from four different periods of Egil's life: from a praise-poem delivered in York to King Erik Bloodaxe in order to save Egil's own head; from a lament for the deaths of his two sons; from a poem in praise of a noble ally Arinbjorn; and his last poems written during his gradual, though furious, descent into blindness.
