Trilo is a traditional Swedish folk song. The song is about longing for someone at sea, traditionally sung by Swedish and Norwegian wives as their husbands returned from sea. [1]
Trilo has been arranged for choir several times. An arrangement by Ale Möller has been included in his album Nordan (1994) with Lena Willemark, [2] and has been released later for choir a cappella. [3]
An arrangement by Bengt Ollén written in 2017 has been recorded by Sofia Vokalensemble. [4] The piece was included on the album Song of the North released in March 2018 [5] and has been described as "highly atmospheric music". [6] Ollén's arrangement of Trilo was performed by the Oxford Intermezzo chamber choir as the opening number with the choir distributed around the audience in a "Songs of the North" concert at SJE Arts Oxford on 7 September 2019. [7]
In 2021, the folk song Trilo was used as the basis of a choral setting by Simon Jackson of Thomas Campion's poem Never weather-beaten sail. [8]
