The Long Night of the Blessed - Viking Feast and Tavern Ambience

The feast, and then the long night after it. Mead that never runs dry, tales that grow in the telling, and a hall that finally settles into one song. Movements six and seven together - the warmest music in the series, easing into the eternal night that closes the whole journey. The palette is the northern one: harp first, with lyre, rebec, tagelharpa, pan flute and bukkehorn around it, over a frame-drum pulse. Voices are wordless throughout - chant and call, no lyrics in any language. 0:00 The Feast Begins 2:36 Mead That Never Runs Dry 4:59 Tales That Grow in the Telling 7:21 The Wall of Bright Shields 9:57 Freyja's Half of the Chosen 12:26 Arm-Rings Given Freely 15:14 The Old Kings at the High Bench 18:00 Dancing Down the Long Aisle 20:50 The Contest of Verses 23:09 Night Deepens, Songs Soften 25:43 Brothers Found Again 28:29 The Hall Sings One Song 31:08 The Long Night of the Blessed 34:22 Watchmen on the Golden Wall 37:26 He Learns the Harp Himself 40:42 Mornings of Sparring, Evenings of Song 43:43 He Watches the Living World 46:50 The Pan Flute at the Parapet 50:00 Ragnarok Can Wait 53:06 The Harp Under the Stars 56:30 All the Songs Ever Sung 59:25 The Welcome Never Ends 1:02:29 Sleep in the Hall of Heroes 1:05:18 The Feast Begins II 1:07:25 Mead That Never Runs Dry II 1:09:21 Tales That Grow in the Telling II 1:11:08 The Wall of Bright Shields II 1:13:13 Freyja's Half of the Chosen II 1:15:26 Arm-Rings Given Freely II 1:18:08 The Old Kings at the High Bench II 1:20:50 Dancing Down the Long Aisle II 1:23:23 The Contest of Verses II 1:25:14 Night Deepens, Songs Soften II 1:27:41 Brothers Found Again II 1:29:52 The Hall Sings One Song II 1:32:14 The Long Night of the Blessed II 1:35:19 Watchmen on the Golden Wall II 1:38:14 He Learns the Harp Himself II 1:41:16 Mornings of Sparring, Evenings of Song II 1:44:00 He Watches the Living World II 1:46:40 The Pan Flute at the Parapet II 1:49:32 Ragnarok Can Wait II 1:52:22 The Harp Under the Stars II 1:55:37 All the Songs Ever Sung II 1:58:21 The Welcome Never Ends II 2:01:20 Sleep in the Hall of Heroes II 2:03:39 Evermore, the Golden Hall 2:06:25 The Feast Begins III 2:08:55 Mead That Never Runs Dry III 2:11:06 Tales That Grow in the Telling III 2:13:20 The Wall of Bright Shields III 2:15:37 Freyja's Half of the Chosen III 2:18:03 Arm-Rings Given Freely III 2:20:47 The Old Kings at the High Bench III 2:23:27 Dancing Down the Long Aisle III 2:26:03 The Contest of Verses III 2:28:09 Night Deepens, Songs Soften III 2:30:40 Brothers Found Again III 2:33:10 The Hall Sings One Song III 2:35:47 The Long Night of the Blessed III 2:38:54 Watchmen on the Golden Wall III 2:41:56 He Learns the Harp Himself III 2:45:06 Mornings of Sparring, Evenings of Song III 2:48:02 He Watches the Living World III 2:51:04 The Pan Flute at the Parapet III 2:54:09 Ragnarok Can Wait III 2:57:13 The Harp Under the Stars III 3:00:32 All the Songs Ever Sung III 3:03:23 The Welcome Never Ends III 3:06:24 Sleep in the Hall of Heroes III 3:08:58 Evermore, the Golden Hall II Part of ASKLAND, a Norse music world built one album at a time.
