Morgunsangur - Morning singing traditions in the Faroe Islands

Description

Knút Háberg Eysturstein was invited as a guest on the national children’s radio programme Barnaútvarpið, produced by Kringvarp Føroya, to speak about the tradition of morning singing (morgunsang) in Faroese schools. The interview was broadcast in two parts over consecutive mornings, and addressed the historical background, cultural significance, and educational value of communal singing.

Although Barnaútvarpið is formally a children’s programme, it is widely listened to by audiences of all ages across the Faroe Islands. The appearance forms part of Eysturstein’s broader dissemination work linked to his ongoing PhD research on Faroese musical heritage and music education.
