Text & Notes on the Frozen Suite

Heimr Árnadair (Home Valley of Eagles) [Old Norse] Verðug dróttning stór Hjarta af gulli skína Kronum þik med vánum, ást ok trú Fagra, grýttur land, heimr Árnadalr Fylgið dróttningu ljóssins [English Translation] Worthy Queen of greatness The heart of Gold shines We crown thee with hope, love, and faith Beautiful, stony land, home Arendelle Follow the Queen of light

Vuelie Na na na heia na na hi ja na Na heia heia na ja no a ha na hei o no a na No a no no a haia no no a no no a haia no No a no no a no Vuelie is the South Sámi word for “a yoik”. Yoik is both a type of Saami song, and a unique vocal style used to perform this (often referred to as “chanting”). "The syllables in the song have no linguistic meaning. They are just said to be part of the vocal style." - Frode Fjellheim. [from http://frozen.wikia.com/wiki/Vuelie]

In 2013, NHSAEF was honored that judges for the Kennedy Center School of Excellence Awards particularly noted the work of NHSAEF, “Northwood is unique in its Foundation support and subsequent scholarship awards, which also serve to exemplify the remarkable parental involvement your program has achieved.”
