- Fabulous traditional Halling tune played by Skogen Sällström of Trondheim, Norway during his visit to the Swedish Club in Seattle with fellow accordionist and pianist Knut Erik Jensen, also from Trondheim. Skogen also gave a brief introduction to the Hardanger fiddle to those who are not familiar with it.
"Fanitullen" is a beat[slåt] that is found in varieties in Hallingdal and Telemark. The name really means "Devil's Troll". The devil was hard to troll, or joke as it is called in some dialects. He was also a capable fiddler, which is evident from the historical legend associated with the tune. (Wikipedia)
Ich liebe Hardangerfiddle.
Respekt vor dem Musikanten.
Meine Hochachtung!!
Amazing man .. I love these instruments....
This makes me want to dance. ❤
This is Fanitullen, the devil's tune played on the hardanger fiddle. The fiddle is tuned A, E, A, C# to get this unique sound.
actually you want a brighter sound and that is the same tune you said but to make it brighter you need this tune B, E, B, F#, Its the same tune you said but in a brighter sound
@@sevvi8096 that is correct, everything is a whole step up but read as normal music notation. I think you mean D# vs F#?? That is the troll tuning with the last string being a third up vs a fifth up. You can only do this on the hardanger. Do not attempt on a normal violin. Your strings will break.
not mine

amazing profound music ....
In the hardened days of yore
when with beer and brawn
the knives of Hallingdale
from their sheats were often drawn
when women to the feast
funeral shirts would bring
with which they would swathe
their dead husbands in
there once took place a wedding
somewhere in Hemsedale4
where song and dance did cease
and the men did ring the vale.
In the center of the floor
framed by shoulder-broad men
two stood with knives unsheated
and a leather belt round them
And like columns carved
unmoving, serene
another four stood
as guardians of the scene
They lift burning torches
toward the blackened beams
where curls of smoke collected
to a dark and brooding stream
In vain two women try
howling, to stem
the living wall of bodies
raised before them
Angrily they’re thrown back
and left to despair
while the fiddler quietly sidles
toward the cellar stair.
Down he goes to tap beer
as the winner of the fight
may have need to kiss
the bowl's rim tonight.
Within the belt they'll duel,
blood running like sap
the vein will need refilling
from the beer casket tap.
Standing in the cellar
he saw a bluish glow
someone sitting on the casket
tuning fiddle, holding bow.
This man held it backwards
tightly to his chest
and as soon as it was tuned
put his fiddle to the test.
There came a song of wonder;
It rang like angry words,
Like steel bite into wood
Like fists rammed into boards.
It jubilantly roamed
Around the darkened cellar hall
And came to a halt
At the sound of a fall
Quietly the fiddler listened
to the mighty flow
It was like the music’s eddies
went down his spine and brow.
He quickly asked the other
“Where did you learn that song?”
The answer: “Don't you mind that,
But remember it - for long!”
But as the man bent down
Reaching for the tap
He saw a horned hoof
against the casket rap
He forgot to tap the beer
And ran up to the hall
Just as the men were lifting
The body from the fall
Fanitullen it is called
This wild and haunting spell
And in Hallingdale they play it
And they play it well
And when its tune is singing
to beer and feast and brawn
again knives of Hallingdale
from their sheats are quickly drawn
I only have a vague familiarity with the Hardingfele but it was because of Annbjørg Lien of Bukkene Bruse and The String Sisters that I gained an appreciation for this instructor.
I love these so much that I feature a Hardanger fiddle 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!)
Amazing, you are an amazing talent. Greetings from a Norwegian guy.
Veldig nice.
Oh yes I recognize this melody nice job I see too you are holding it low and a bit horizontal like in the 19th century pictures :)
Muito bom!
I struggle to grasp, are there four distinctive cultures of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Island or the One Nordic culture?
Yes there are. I only know a bit of swedish, iclandic, Danish and finnish cultures, but I since I am Norwegian I can tell you that it differansen a lot
Even back in the Viking era, there where differences between Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians. The Danes where more connected to Europe than Sweden, and Norway, and Norway was the most isolated of the three. The Swedes where more cultural in a way, and most of what we know of the ancient religion of “Åsatru», comes from Sweden. This “Hardanger fiddle” tradition is very distinctive to the surrounding areas of Hardanger in Norway, but of course spread a good bit around the country. There are Swedish fiddle tunes too that have a lot of similarities, but the Danes didn’t do it at all. So it’s mostly a Norwegian tradition for sure.
@@sillynorseman6847 Most of what we know about Åsatru comes from the Icelandic source material. And the whole notion of being isolated is also false.
@@daginn896 So false that we have hundreds of dialects.. Do you know why we have hundreds of dialects in Norway? Because we were isolatded. 😏 And most of the original sagas about Åsatru where found in Sweden. The iceland sagas are just one part, and fairly new.
I am part Norwegian and I love fiddling! 🎻
Nyyydelig! Fy faen! Hvor har du lært dette?
markus jørgensen - It is the most famous "slått" (Dance Tune) of Norway.
