Pigopolskan - Scandi Folk Tune #10

[@franklinduda]

I loved the tune, your explain, The forest the bells, and um sure the vilaje too .!

[@ianrowe9337]

It has a ring of Elizabethian music to an Englishmans ears ... very charming tune Emelie !

[@robst247]

Enchanting - and beautifully played!

[@ryushogun9890]

Hold my like! I wish I could know more about the instrument, and the people that still play it. Thanks for keeping art alive.

[@EmelieWaldken]

Well you've found the right channel then ;) I talk about nyckelharpa quite a bit here !

[@andreware6492]

That ending was very hauntingly beautiful!

[@EmelieWaldken]

I knowww right ?? These few notes towards the end have a very special flavour.

[@laurynasstulpinas6977]

Einfach Wunderbar. I think you are doing a fantastic job. I need such inspirations in my life like you :)

[@EmelieWaldken]

Thanks a lot for these nice words !

[@garysimkins2179]

I am so delighted to have found your channel. I would live to play this music on the violin. Thankyou. it's such a wonderful sound.

[@EmelieWaldken]

Thank you for the nice comment ! Yes this goes very well to play on violin aswell !

[@blfalken]

Jättebra spelat och en väldigt trevlig låt! Tackar och bugar.

[@EmelieWaldken]

Tack så mycket !

[@JohnyVman]

This is the cutest thing I have seen in while!! Well done.

[@Visse90]

I've heard this one before and I've always enjoyed it. However, I didn't know it was native to my home province of Småland, where I was born and grew up, before I left for university 15 years ago. As I said, I didn't know this was a local song, yet hearing you play makes me feel very homesick.

[@nocturne7371]

Yes, in Sweden, with these kind of songs, you assume they are from Dalarna, Värmland or Hälsingland. Mostly because most of them are from there.

[@RickardHallerback]

Great job! Love your videos! Beautiful setting out there by the woods also. Perfect place for a video. Warm greetings from Sweden

[@EmelieWaldken]

Tack så mycket ! Ja det är fint här men vi saknar snö iår, det är riktigt deprimerande. Meeen det våre inte möjligt att spela in i skogen om vi hade snö, so well ^^

[@EmelieWaldken]

@@RickardHallerback Ja, jag lärde mig när jag pluggade folkmusik i Sverige ;) Det är sant att snö är lite opraktiskt, men så mycket bättre iaf än den grå himmel vi har nästan hela vintern ! Tack, jag ska fortsätta såklart !

[@Alkusanat]

It took me a while bu I finally felt ready for this wonderful polska and it took me only two days to get it right :) (right enough. now it's just practice...)

[@Yoghurtacid]

These are all fantastic videos Emelie! I am looking forward to starting my own Nyckelharpa journey soon :)

[@EmelieWaldken]

Thanks a lot, and good luck on your nyckelharpa adventure =)

[@Hydrargyre81]

Un air magnifique et entraînant comme d'habitude! Encore une fois on peut remarquer le rôle majeur ( pour ne pas dire _essentiel_ ) joué par *l'ornementation* par le biais de laquelle tout le génie des musiciens se trouve exprimé ^^

[@EmelieWaldken]

Merci ! Oui l'ornementation est très importante en musique scandinave... et pourtant savoir jouer sans elle est aussi crucial, car faire sonner "typique" un air sans ornements est bien plus difficile et fait appel à des caractéristiques plus profondes, comme l'utilisation de l'archet... :)

[@opreapetru404]

Bravissimo segniora well done

[@reddustdiecastmodelrail1499]

Wonderful music !!! Thanks very much !! martin

[@judithcastellano6175]

Tack så mycket !

Jag dansade med min söta fru i Shottis, och alla andra danser. Polkka också.

[@rossdavidson3444]

j'adore tes vidéos! merci beaucoup pour partager :) j'ai hâte de commencer d'apprendre ces chansons. amitiés d'Écosse! c'était Gjallarhorn qui m'a inspiré d'apprendre le violon (est-ce qu'il y a un mot pour 'fiddle' en français?).

[@EmelieWaldken]

Merci pour ce gentil commentaire =) Super que Gjallarhorn aie été ton inspiration, c'est mon groupe préféré ! En français le fiddle est "violon", mais le musicien folk est "violoneux/violoneuse" au lieu de "violoniste" (classique).

[@pradipsikdar2844]

You played beautifully. What is the name of this instrument in Denmark? Please say. It is a nice instrument that I loved at the first sight. Thank you so much.

[@EmelieWaldken]

The instrument is also called Nyckelharpa in Danemark (possibly spelled a bit differently sometimes, for example nøkkelharpe). Thanks for the compliment.

[@Lunatra]

I've only heard it called this

[@konstantes]

Emelie, what’s music play from 1-14 second? Can it listen full version?

[@EmelieWaldken]

It's said in the description : Credits intro music : CD 'Norsk folkemusikk på radio - Dei fyrste åra på radio', track 10, tune 'Vill du vara venn min' It's from a collection of recordings of the norwegian radio dating back to the 1930s. It's the oldest radio program in the world that is still running today. I highly recommend it if you love norwegian music. The package is simply called "Norsk folkemusikk på radio" and is composed of 10 CDs, more infos there : grappa.no/en/albums/grappa/norsk-folkemusikk-norwegian-folk-music-1-10/

Hi Emelie - Do you have the dots for this tune? Thanks and happy holidays!

[@EmelieWaldken]

Yes, I give them on my Patreon : www.patreon.com/emeliewaldken

[@ZakOnTheBeatProductions]

Can i know the scale of this music and what is the name of this instrument 😍

[@EmelieWaldken]

Nyckelharpa, a traditional instrument from Sweden ! And I give sheets to my Patrons on Patreon : www.patreon.com/emeliewaldken

[@judithcastellano6175]

where do you suggest finding nychelharpa in the U.S. ? or Sweden ?

[@EmelieWaldken]

In the US, get in touch with the American Nyckelharpa Association ! In Sweden... depends where. The easiest is to get into the folk music scene, that's where all the musicians are.

[@judithcastellano6175]

@@EmelieWaldken I am a mountain dulcimer player and music practitioner and would love to learn to play nychelharpa❤️ I will try your suggestion Thanks Judy Anderson Castellano

[@EmelieWaldken]

@@judithcastellano6175 Oh so nice with the mountain dulcimer ! I've wanted one for years but it's hard to find here ; I could build one but tbh I don't think I have the time for yet another instrument ^^ Good hunt for your nyckelharpa !

[@judithcastellano6175]

@@EmelieWaldken I will send you dulcimer luthier contacts for UK and US 👍

[@username46656]

What are some unique characteristics of Finnish folk music compared to other Scandinavian countries?

[@EmelieWaldken]

Well, to be honest I don't know much at all about finnish folk music in particular - that's also why I don't speak often about it. I know that the finnish national folk instrument is the kantele, so not the fiddle as in Sweden and Norway. Also the dances are quite different apparently - but in the swedish-speaking part of Finland, the repertoire and style are very close to swedish.

[@StarshipTrooper4231]

Search for Memory of Music and you'll get a bunch of exclusive finnish instruments.

[@АндрейШартон-й6с]

А ты можешь на финском говорить больше в роликах.?

[@АндрейШартон-й6с]

Хювя! Мне понравилось.

[@urbankotto9685]

U are a great player,but you do not play scandinavianstyle.Maby germanic or slavic?.
