2011, Michala Petri and Danish National Vocal Ensemble released a recording their first artistic collaboration, the ECHO Klassik award winning, critically acclaimed CD "The Nightingale." For their next project, Michala Petri the Danish National Vocal Ensemble were joined by conductor and composer Michael Bojesen in an beautiful and exciting project - the fulfilment of a long-standing dream for all of the artists: I Dreamt a Dream - songs of the Danish heartland. Danish folk music mirrors the soul of the Danish people - it has its own unique characteristics and it's often easy to determine which region of Denmark a folk music song stems from, simply based on linguistic expressions, intonation, and dialects. During the national romantic movement of the 1800s, there were many classical composers who incorporated local folk music of Denmark in their compositions to give their music a more distinct national character; and each tune, no matter how humble its origin expresses the joy of singing. These songs makes the Danish people feel united, and tell us where we belong. For this CD a program of some of the most popular Danish folk songs is selected, and Michael Bojesen arranged them anew for recorder and choir. Even you do not know the Danish language you will feel the atmosphere of the Danish homeland, its indescribable beauty, its unspoiled nature, the colour of the wind and the restless sea that surrounds H.C. Andersen's home. 1 Drømte mig en drøm i nat 2 Det var en lørdag aften 3 Duerne flyver 4 Hvem kan sejle foruden vind 5 I skovens dybe, stille ro 6 Den blå anemone 7 Natten er så stille 8 Den fine, lyse nat 9 Midsommerteltet 10 Danmark, nu blunder den lyse nat 11 Sænk kun dit hoved, du blomst 12 Svantes lykkelige dag 13 Noget om lykke 14 Aftensti 15 Solen er så rød, mor 16 Septembers himmel er så blå 17 Nu er jord og himmel stille 18 Et hav, der vugger sig til ro nu 19 Stille, hjerte, sol går ned 20 Spurven sidder stum bag kvist 21 Men det bli'r atter stille 22 Om lidt bli'r her stille
