The piece is written for the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian Constitution, and was performed at Eidsivablot.
Skuggsjá translates into mirror or reflection in the Norse language, and the piece is composed by Ivar Bjørnson and Einar Selvik. Selvik is known as the composer behind the Norse-folk band Wardruna, while Bjørnson is known as the composer of the acclaimed metal band Enslaved. Skuggsjá is a work that not only contextualizes the harder music's role in the democracy in Norway in 2014, but also pull threads from our ancient musical history and to the harder music's position as perhaps Norway`s most important cultural export.
