By Helga Ragnars and Knut Rygnestad. By Guðfinna Jónsdóttir and Knut Rygnestad. Classical,Contemporary,Folk. Score. 8 pages. Knut Olav Rygnestad #844475. Published by Knut Olav Rygnestad (A0.1250078)."Áfangastaður" (Destination) is a poem about wanderlust, describing the sensation of travelling around and seeing and experiencing new things. It also described the pain of being unable to travel, and how the need to do so is the "destination of every man".
Guðfinna Jónsdóttir (1899–1946) from Hömrum was an organist and poet who lived a quiet and isolated life in Northern Iceland. She wrote beautiful poems about her life, filled with with tragedies, death and unrequited love. In her own time her work wasn't well known outside of her hometown, and today she is more or less forgotten.
In collaboration with the singer Helga Ragnarsdóttir, the composer Knut Rygnestad has set several of her poems to music for voice and piano, with the aim of making them better known in Iceland and throughout the world. The project received funding from the Norwegian Arts Council and Hljóðritasjóður Rannís, and an album of nine recorded songs, "Ótal stjarna hröp" was released in 2023.
