Lyrics
Lyrics: Slovak traditional, Norwegian traditional
Ej, čí to domčok
Ej, čí to domčok na tom vŕšku? Išiou bi ja doňho trošku.
Ej, išiou, išiou, aľe beda, ťečie vedľa ňeho voda.
Ej, ťečie, ťečie na dve strani, uš sa ten muoj frajer žeňí.
Ej, keď sa žeňi, nak zdrau buďe, o rok o dva vdoucom buďe.
Liti Kjersti
Liti Kjersti ho va seg så fagert eit viv,
— Det rigner og det blæs —
ho ri nord i bergom på gangaren kvit.
— For djupt onde' hello,
langt nord i fjello
der leikar det.
Men som ho no kom seg åt bergo dei blå
Då høyrer ho frå haugo det spelar og læt.

Konvergencie is about coming closer. Chamber music has to do with convergence and communication: between the artists and between performers and the public. It is like a conversation which, once commenced, doesn't end but keeps on developing. Listening to chamber music, just like communication, develops the human being inwardly: our sensitivity to the world, to the others, and to our own selves.
