In addition to definitive editions of the printed music (with German and English singing translations), the book includes phonetic transcriptions of the Norwegian and German lyrics, and word-for- word translations into German and English.
The publication also includes a CD, which contains: spoken lyrics, recorded by native speakers, to help singers with pronunciation; study versions of the songs, with both melody and simplified accompaniments played on the piano; complete piano accompaniment recordings (pianist Denette Whitter). The book also includes a foreword by Monica Jangaard, curator of the Grieg Museum at Troldhaugen.
