Denne vingårds kunstnere er nogle af de fremmeste på den danske folkemusikscene og er hver især kendt fra mange andre sammenhænge indenfor genren.
Her i Vingården skriver Morten Alfred det meste af kvartettens repertoire. Musikken er skrevet i børneværelser, i små køkkener, på bagsædet af udlejningsbiler og i lufthavne rundt omkring i verden.
Kvartetten forarbejder og forædler såvel de lidt ældre og vel modnede melodier, som de perlende friske og nyskrevne sange og kompositioner. Repertoiret byder således på nye titler der ikke tidligere er udgivet.
Musikken er ganske vist ny, men samtidig dybt inspireret af bl.a. den traditionelle danske, nordiske og ikke mindst den europæiske folkemusik.
Morten Alfred & Vingården spiller i disse år intents repertoiret Live på koncerter og/eller til dans i DK og udland.
Vingårdens instrumenter er sopran- og barytonsaxofon, klarinet og basklarinet, violin, guitar, mundharmonika og vokal, og musikken er præget af de medvirkende musikeres baggrund indenfor genrer som barokmusik, kirkemusik, traditionel folkemusik, skifflemusik, bryllupsmusik, og meget mere.

All music composed by Morten Alfred Høirup except: Sorgen (Traditional Danish)
New Nordic music cultivated, harvested and refined in their musical vineyard
Morten Alfred & Vingården (The Vineyard) plays music, primarily composed by Morten Alfred Høirup, processed and refined by the quartet, which consists of professional forefront musicians from the Danish music scene.
The repertoire consists of melodies that have matured on the Danish and international folk music scene, as well as new fresh compositions.
The music is written to be listened to as well as danced to, and the band likes to play for dancing, often in collaboration with their good friend and ally, Dance master Henrik ‘from Stevns’ Larsen.
The songs are about the life we live, about sorrows and joys and fun and trouble.
Morten Alfred has composed music since he was very young and has received, among other things, a Danish Music Award as Danish Folk Composer of the Year in 2004. He published the sheet music collection Ingela’s Waltz – 25 New Danish Folk Melodies, in early summer 2022. The collection includes chord suggestions and stories about a long-life journey with music.
The sound of Vingården is colored by the musicians’ background in, among other things, traditional Danish folk music, baroque music, church music, skiffle music, wedding music and much more, and the quartet regularly plays at venues, festivals and in churches in Denmark and abroad.
