The music illustrates some of the many storms that women have had to – and still have to – weather. They tell stories about the women’s suffrage movement, about a Syrian student risking her life to complete her medical education, and about a small girl’s defiance.

All of these stories open our eyes to different viewpoints on women’s struggles. The driving force behind this collection is our wish to provide new perspectives on the weeping women of the Norwegian national anthem, thru music composed by Tone Åse, Trond Kverno, Marianne Reidarsdatter Eriksen, Birgit Djupedal, Ellen Lindquist and Eva Holm Foosnæs.

Members of the Choir say “Our album is finally ready! On Sunday March 6, 2022 we launch “All That Our Mothers Have Fought”, that the choir has been working on for over several years. We are looking forward to it, and hope you will to!”

Where we recognize our roots, the past experiences that inform our perspective of the path ahead. Ur is wilderness. The scree clinging to the mountain, hard rock: impassable, majestic and of infinite beauty. Time, origin and nature are core values in “UR”.

The recordings consist exclusively of commissioned works, written by composers in affiliation with the musical community in Trondheim. The composers have different backgrounds and tonal language, providing this record with a complex and complementary repertoire. Music by Odd Johan Overøye, Øyvind Johan Eiksund, Martin Eikeset Koren, Geir Døhlie Gjerdsjø and Eva Holm Foosnæs.
