MYTHOLOGY & GODS

Here sing the gods themselves: every Mythic Harmonies song drawn from Norse mythology, gathered on one shelf. Odin and his ravens, Thor and his hammer, Loki's cunning fire, Fenrir straining at his chains, the Valkyries riding to choose the slain, and the long shadow of Ragnarök over them all. Each song turns one myth of the Eddas into sound, most of them in Old Norse with drums, horns and choirs built for the halls of Asgard.

“Hearing I ask from the holy races, from Heimdall's sons, both high and low.”

Völuspá 1 · The Poetic Edda, Bellows translation

One myth, one song: start here.

1. Fenrir Rís, the great wolf breaking his chains: the song that opens the road to Ragnarök.
2. Jǫrmungandr Rís, the Midgard Serpent rising from the deep, poison and storm in the waves.
3. Loka Svǫik, born of fire and born of lies: the trickster god in his own cunning voice.
4. Óðins Hrafnar, Huginn and Muninn crossing the storm to bring the All-Father what the world knows.
5. Sleipnir Rís, eight hooves of thunder: Odin's steed galloping between the worlds.

Are there songs about the Norse gods?

Yes. This entire shelf is devoted to them: original Mythic Harmonies songs about Odin, Thor, Loki, Freyja, Fenrir, Jörmungandr and the doom of Ragnarök, most of them written and sung in Old Norse. Each song takes one myth from the Eddas and turns it into drums, horns and choirs.

What are the sources behind these mythology songs?

The songs draw inspiration from the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, medieval collections of Norse mythology. They are original modern compositions: some scenes, images and voices are artistic reinterpretations. Each song’s page explains its sources and distinguishes the surviving myths from the music’s creative additions.

What language are the god songs sung in?

Most are sung in Old Norse, the language of the Viking Age and of the Eddas themselves, with a full English translation published for every song. A few are sung directly in English. Every entry in the songbook carries a badge telling you which voice it speaks in.
