Where in the Land a Fairer Dale?
was composed for Lilja Cardew on the occasion of her grandfather Guðmundur Oddsson’s 80th birthday on June 20, 2016. Lilja premiered the piece at the birthday celebration. The work was composed at the request of Jórunn Jónsdóttir, Guðmundur's wife, and is a meditation on a fragment of a folk tune sung by Margrét Sigurðardóttir (1904–1990) from Víðivallagerði in Fljótsdalshérað, which was recorded on tape in 1964.
