Elsa's Kind of Music: Cantus and Frode Fjellheim with "Njokte"



Today's random song is called Njokte and is by the Norwegian choir Cantus with composer Frode Fjellheim. Fjellheim is a Norwegian yoiker, pianist and synthesizer player who founded the group Transjoik, but is best known for composing the opening song for the Disney animated movie Frozen. Cantus is a female Norwegian choir consisting of about 30 amateur voices. They have won international awards for their music, and they provided the voices for Fjellheim's opening composition for Disney's Frozen, called Vuelie. You can find Njokte on Cantus' 2017 album Northern Lights.  The song starts at about 1:45.
