Uti vår hage (song)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
"Uti vår hage" (choir singing four verses).

"Uti vår hage" ("Out in our meadow"

folk song first published in Gotland[3] sometime during the 1880s by Hugo Lutteman,[4] though it is also considered to have earlier origins as far back as the 1600s.[5]

The piece became widely published in the 1890s and is associated with a boom in interest in folk traditions in Sweden during this decade.[5] The piece continues to be well known by the Swedish populace, performed frequently by choral groups, and has been described as a "national song treasure" typically taught to schoolchildren. Also owing to this popularity is an arrangement of the piece by composer Hugo Alfvén in 1923.[4][2]

The piece is often performed, among other Swedish traditional songs, during Walpurgis Night.[6]
