l Eatnenmen Vuelie (Fairest Lord Jesus)Frode
Fjellheim. The opening musical number from the
Disney animated feature "Frozen," this song is
inspired by indigenous Saami and Norwegian
culture, a combination of Saami yoiking and
the Danish Christmas hymn Dejlig er jorden, or
Fairest Lord Jesus, by B.S. Ingemann. Yoik is a
very old vocal tradition among the Saami people
of Scandinavia and Russia, characterized by short
melodic phrases that repeat again and again,
with small variations. With English, German and
Norwegian versions of the text, synthesizer,
percussion and optional male yoik.
