What did the music sound like in the old Viking town of Birka during
the 9th and 10th centuries? This recording gives you an idea of what
could have been heard there, based on archaeological finds from the
"black earth" of Birka, and Nordic texts of the time. Among the finds
from ancient Birka are a bone whirler, a two-holed bone whistle, and an
elk-horn bridge for five strings. Styrbjörn Bergelt plays many ancient
instruments, and is also joined by some other musicians and singers.
This recording comes with a book of 116 pages English version and
Swedish, which gives a background to the music.
