The Danish folk ballad in its classical form is an epic medieval poem with a lyrical refrain, transmitted in oral tradition, most likely started in the 13 th century.

All the folk ballads in this collection have been set for four mixed voices a cappella, and represent Danish composers throughout more than a hundred and fifty years.

Canzone Vocal Ensemble’s earlier releases include very popular “The Danish Song Treasury” series (Vol. 1 Kontrapunkt 32073, Vol. 2 Kontrapunkt 32130, Vol. 3 Kontrapunkt 32155 and Vol. 4 Kontrapunkt 32230)
