Swedish tunes!

[Anyanka]

Especially for Jarvo. I did post a link to the No.1 Ladies playing polskas in the other thread (wherever that was...) - but Ill try to find some more...

some time later: not that easy! I know a fair few folkies who play Swedish tunes, esp on the Nyckelharpa, but can I find anything on YouToob?
In the meantime, heres a good introduction to Swedish music: http://www.norbeck.nu/abc/gif.html#swedish

Later still: the lovely Hannah James & Sam Sweeney play an unnamed polska
And a track by Väsen on Grooveshark

I dont know much about Swedish music, by the way... in case you havent noticed yet.
What I do know has all come via the Wonderful Karen Tweed. Here she is in the English/Swedish collaboration Swap, playing Swedish-ish tunes.

copying Anders response from a different thread, for ease of use:

For a starter, on of my favorite tunes, played by on of Swedenss best accordionist .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL-uXwlf2-4
And of course Carl Jularbo, I play many of his tunes.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdteELIq_WI
And a polka:
There is a lot more on Youtub. Now you know what to look for.
There is even some whit me playing, not very proud of my performance, so you have to look it up yourself. Good luck, and have a nice weekend. In Western Norway we have a beautiful day.

I like this one:

 

[george garside]

has anybody got the dots for the Oslo Waltz ( Kristiana Valsen) by Erichsen. There are various you tube clips of it including a (sound only) clip of Jimmy Shands recording thereof.

He was quite a talented baby then , tragic how short a life he seems to have had ,wonder what else he could have done had he become older !!! {} :b {}

What sort of accordion is Alf Hagedal playing on that youtube clip? Seems to have an unusual treble end!

Seriously though ,some really nice music ..Sounds a bit to advanced and complicated for me at the minute ....I am on a back to basics jag at the minute ...trying to get some proper rhythm and control....but some of these will definitely be on my smorgasbrod of future delights...... :b

I have the dots for the Scottish version ("Oslo Waltz", in A) in the modes tutorial on my website. Somewhere I have chords for it (from the late Jim Paterson) and I'll add them when I find them.
