THE PROJECT
”The Threads of Life" is an innovative collaboration that unites Voices of Argyll, an award-winning choir from Argyll, Scottish musicians—Alison McNeill (fiddle/vocals/conductor), Fiona McNeill (bodhran/guitar) including those who perform traditional Gaelic music—with Danish musician, composer and expert on Viking Age music including Christine Kammerer (singer/lyre/piano/composer).
The Viking Age profoundly shaped the cultural landscapes of Scotland and Scandinavia. The Norse settlements in the Hebrides and the Kingdom of the Isles established lasting connections that influenced language, tradition, and folklore.
This project explores the rich tapestry of those connections between; how the travels of the Vikings and our mutual influence is still felt in shared values and history today. Weaving together our mythologies and cultures through narratives and soundscapes, old and new, also exploring this through modern musical interpretations in popular dramas like “Outlander” and “The Last Kingdom”.
Our production includes songs which Alison and Fiona McNeill and Christine Kammerer have already co-created in the name of Nordic meets Celtic, from Kammerer’s album ”Echoes of North”.
