Nóatón
The Nóatón vocal ensemble was founded in 1992. The idea was to give experienced and enthusiastic choir singers as well as singers with conservatory training abroad the opportunity to cooperate on more demanding assignments and thus preserve the connection with the Faroese music, even though the group’s members live in various parts of Scandinavia. Like the group in William Heinesen’s novel, “Nóatún”, which is determined to found a new village, Nóa- tón wants to perform new pieces, especially new Faroese music. In 1992, when Sunleif Rasmussen was awarded the Sonning grant for young musicians, the group started to perform, recording Sunleif’s choir music under the direction of Johannes Rahe from Osnabrück. Norðurlandahúsið í Føroyum, the Nordic House in the Faroes, and several culture funds secured the financial foundation. As something novel in Faroese choir tradition, the thirteen singers committed themselves for the whole three-year period of the project. After workshops in the Faroes every six months and concerts at various locations on the islands, Nóatón went to Sweden in 1994 for a series of concerts at Trollhättan. The same summer the CD recordings were made in the church of Fuglafjørður.

Nóatón
Nóatón vokalensemblið varð stovnað í 1992. Hugskotið var at royndir og eldhugaðir kórsangarar og sangarar, sum nema sær ella hava lokið útbúgving uttanlanda, arbeiða saman um størri og meira krevjandi uppgávur og sostatt kunna varðveita sambandið við tað føroyska tónleikarlívið, hóast limirnir liva spjadd um øll Norðurlond. Eins og bólkurin í skaldsøguni eftir William Heinesen, “Nóatún”, vil stovna eina nýggja bygd, vil Nóatón framføra nýggjar tónar, serliga nýggjan føroyskan kórtónleik.
Tá Sunleif Rasmussen í 1992 fekk Sonning virðisløn fyri ungar tónleikarar, varð farið undir at framføra og innspæla kórtónleik hjá Sunleifi. Leiðsluna hevõi Johannes Rahe úr Osnabrück. Norðurlandahúsið í Føroyum og ymsir mentunargrunnar hava tryggjað tað fíggjarliga grundarlagið. Sum eitt nýtt fyribrigdi í Føroyum bundu teir trettan sangararnir seg frá byrjanini til øll trý árini, verkætlanin skuldi vara. Aftaná verkskeið í Føroyum hvørt hálva ár og konsertir ym- sastaðni í landinum, fór Nóatón í 1994 á konsertferð í Trollhättan í Svøríki. Sama summar vórðu upptøkurnar til fløguna gjørdar í Fuglafjarðar kirkju.
