Medieval Ballads are a specific branch of Medieval Music and the Folk Song genre. As the name suggests, the form originated in Europe in medieval times, most probably during The High Middle Ages, around the late 13th or early 14th century. The songs and styles cover a number of topics, and the most common themes, like The Twa Sisters, are found all over the North Sea. The Twa Sisters is by far the most popular, as the song is documented all over the area, from Iceland (Hörpukvædi) to Sweden (Systrarna), Denmark (Den förtrollade fiolen), and, Norway, where a number of related versions are found. This particular song is even found in Finland. A Norwegian version traditionally sung: click here. Not much is known about what instrumental accompaniment was used for medieval ballads, but paintings from the era suggest that lute (a guitar family instrument) players, vihuela (a Spanish guitar family instrument that could be plucked or bowed) players performed with singers. | |

Religious Ballads or "saintly stories", often concerning the Virgin Mary. The greatest ballad to be found, the "dream ballad" (Draumkvedet), stands out, as this is equivalent of The Divine Comedy, sung in ballad metre. It was first written down in a secluded area of Telemark, and the song was found only there. The source was a 19 year old girl, who had learned the song from her father. | |
