Official Christmas song of the National Public Radio 2020

UMBRA was commissioned to compose the official Christmas song of the National Public Radio in Iceland, a yearly tradition that began in 1987, where a new piece of christmas music by a prominent Icelandic composer/songwriter is premiered before the 12 o’clock news on Christmas Eve. The song is called “Himnablessun” (Heaven’s blessing) and the music is set to a poem by our good friend and writer Aðalsteinn Ásberg Sigurðsson. The song was recorded in Guðríðarkirkja by the National Radio’s Georg Magnússon.

Merry Christmas!
