about

Composer of "Besse Vikingson," Rannveig Djønne, tells the following about the tune:
"The first time Djønn, the small village where I come from, and which lies in Hardanger, Western Norway) is mentioned anywhere is in a diploma/parchment letter from 1356. The diploma is more like a contract between Besse Vikingson and Sunniva from Aga, whom he is to marry. As a morning – and wedding gift, he gave Sunniva four marks of gold, and for this, he took a mortgage on 'Djønno, outer farmstead, and the upper apple orchard.'

I live on the outer farmstead on Djønno, and naturally, I believe Besse Vikingson to be one of my ancestors. His name was so cool that I just had to create a tune about him, and it became Celtic-inspired. The fact that Panzerpappa liked 'Besse Vikingson' and made their own version of it is really exciting!"
