Bergen, Norway, September 29, 2013 --(PR.com)-- What does the fox choir say?
Vokalensemblet Skrik of Ylvis’ hometown Bergen has contributed to the phenomenon with an eight part a cappella choral version of the hit single.
Like the rest of the world Vokalensemblet Skrik’s members have been unable to get “The Fox” out of their heads since Ylvis released it in early September. This resulted in an eight part a cappella choral arrangement, arranged especially for Vokalensemblet Skrik by conductor Jon Flydal Blichfeldt. Skrik performed “The Fox” for the first time at Logen Theatre in Bergen, Norway on Wednesday September 25th during a performance commissioned by the Norwegian Humanist Association. A music video based on the performance is now available on YouTube.
Earlier this year the choir released its first cd, entitled “Lytt” (Listen). The cd consists of songs from a wide range of genres, from choral arrangements of pop songs like Cyndy Lauper’s Time After Time and Eurythmics’ Missionary Man, to the norwegian folk song Gjendines Bådnlåt and contemporary choral music by American composer Eric Whitacre.
