The Spirit Multitude:
Pt.1: Nay, that I do not know?
Pt.2: Toothed to their tails.

Norway-based duo Sarah-Jane Summers (fiddle) & Juhani Silvola (guitar) combine Scottish traditional music from the Highlands with influences from Scandinavian traditions and experimental music. Nominated for a Norwegian Grammy in 2021, Songlines described the duo as 鈥渁bsolute masters of their instruments鈥� and selected each of their four albums as Top of the World. This work takes as its starting point a Highland folktale fragment about the 鈥榮luagh鈥� (or Spirit Multitude) which was believed to descend on the Western Highlands and the Hebrides in the wake of the West Wind.
