Harald Sæveruds "Ballad of Revolt" was directly inspired by the Nazi occupation of Norway and gained notority as a signature tune used by the Norwegian Resistance and the Free Norwegian Radio broadcasting from London during the war.

Thanks - I really liked this work.

There is an orchestral version too:

Craggy stuff, just like the man, and his home:

Harald Sæveruds "Ballad of Revolt"

Do you know if there are any available recordings? I can't find it listed at Amazon. The Simax label has two volumes of orchestral music but the contents aren't listed. None of the BIS recordings at Amazon seem to include it.

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

You are thinking the piano version?

Be aware that the Norwegian title (which it probably is listed under) is "Kjempevise slåtten".

Orchestral version. Thanks. Found it at Amazon searching with that title.

Thanks for picture. That is magnificent (and craggy  ;) )  My kind of house: gray and stark. Reminds me of a medieval fortress but with some creature comforts.

Thank you from me too. I have ordered the orchestral version on BIS. I'd never have found it without the Norwegian title!

Re creature comforts: Sæverud seemingly was obsessed with (or at least very interested in) toilets, this house reputedly has 13.
