For generations, hymns, songs and ballads have been a living unity for most Danes. Without being a literary or musical anthology, the collection contains texts and tunes from all periods and by all important song writers and composers from the Middle Ages to today. Aiming to be practical in its translation, this collection faithfully renders the Danish text while attempting to adapt the translation to the tune. Songs included in this delightful collection are clustered under topics such as: Morning Songs, Songs of Praise, The Christian Faith, Christmas, Easter, Denmark, School and Human Life, Folk Songs, and Ballads.

The music once consisted mostly of Swedish medieval ballads. On this album, the group expands their sound to include music from more recent times and from other parts of Europe. But, they do not try to recreate the music as it might have originally sounded. Instead, just as it was two hundred years ago, the goal is to make the audience sing, dance and have a good time.
