Does anyone know of a transcription, for Renaissance lute (or even
classical guitar) of the wonderful Icelandic hymn "Heyr, himna

I heard a recording of this by the group AIrstiIADEGir about 10 days
agi and it has been going round in my head ever since...
This is a contemporary composition. Its composer, Þorkell
Sigurbjörnsson, died only last year, so it is still under copyright.
Information on purchasing performing copies can be found here:

Their minimum charge seems to be for 4 PDF copies for a total of USD
$7.10. I'd happily write an intabulation, but I don't know if they
would sell me a single copy from which to write an intabulation, nor how
royalties might be handled for distributing the intabulation.
