I loved it! I was searching for traditional Norwegian dance music and it was all museum stale. I have danced the hambo to traditional music before. So hearing your performance relieved me that the Norwegian Tradtional Spirit is not dead. I am of both Scottish - Campbell - Irish - Carroll and English - Robinson. So very likely some Norwegian blood in me also. Ha, ha. Very nice, great spirit, thanks!

To my undereducated ear, this music has controlled frenzy (hope that makes sense), which I find appealing.

Indeed. It has an attractive yet slightly sinister sound. It's not surprising that the Norwegian church frowned upon such instruments, thinking they were connected to the devil in some way.

I love these so much that I feature a Hardanger fiddle player in one of my novels. He's a traveling tent musician who kept a diary in the late 1800s to early 1900s. (Wish I could have found a great HF photo to use for the cover!)

The tuning presents a challenge and the strength of the structure of the violin as the highest string can be tuned to a top G octave and a fifth above middle C.

What a tricky rhythm from ca. 2'00'' onward.
@PsychedelicChameleon2 жыл бұрын
I think it's the same rhythm all the way through, though the melody may syncopate interestingly, and to me it sounds like it's a "Telemark springar" rhythm. I think the fiddler's think of this rhythm as an uneven 3 count: 1 long, 2 medium, 3 short

This tune is very much based on a slow listening tune “Rosen” or The Rose, is it not? Very clearly hear that influence, I play the rose lol

@@davidlinton2799 You can get a pretty basic one from them, but for quality late renaissance/early baroque, I'd recommend someone like Harry Grabenstein www.hfgbowmaker.com/ -- I have several of his, that I use for both overhand and underhand playing, and they're top quality at a reasonable-ish price range.

I did joke, once, that it'd be funny if it turned out that old Germanic folk music would just be Oompah with different instruments. Kind of almost sounds like I could be on the right track, here- it keeps pairing up & repeating segments in sets of two & always ends a segment on a single big note (pardon my complete lack of music jargon. Hopefully, readers follow what I mean.)
