Leitmotif for the triplets


Can you please identify the folksong that was used to accomapany the triplet?

reply

It's called "Byssan lull" and might've been composed by Evert Taube, the same person who wrote the intro song to the film itself, but it's more likely that Taube wrote the text (not appearing in the film) to an old melody but what that melody was called or what, if any, lyrics it had I have no idea.

The tune is called "Byssan lull" and was written by Evert Taube. It's a traditional Swedish lullaby.

All the music in the film was written by Evert Taube. Even when they're celebrating that they've bought the castle, carrying Hans on their arms, they're humming the tune of "Fritiof Anderssons paradmarsch."

I don't wanna waste one of these boulders - they're expensive!

Not Vyssan Lull. Its an ancient lullaby as sung by a Troll mother actually. I doubt Evert Taube was even born during those ancient times!
