It's a lovely Finnish tune and I would like to learn it but haven't been able to track it down. Does anyone know where I could find the sheet music or an abc please as I can only remember snippets of it, not enough to play the tune properly smile.gif

Found several clips on the 'net - great tune - great for dancing jenkka to.

Had a look at Nordic resources and like you didn't find any notes though.

I've got sidetracked rolleyes.gif now looking for the dots/abc for a Walz as well biggrin.gif it's 'Kun kesä on mennyt' (When the Summer has gone) by J A Schatrow. I've found a clip on Youtube

but would be interested in getting hold of the notation, not just for this waltz but for any other Finnish folk music if anyone knows of a source biggrin.gif

Thanks Ann

I'm a big fan of Finnish waltzes.

I first encountered Finnish folk music in the Finnish speaking area of Arctic Sweden many years ago. They're great to play.

A few of my favourites are:

 

Villiruusu

Emma

Impisvals'n

 

I like to play humppaa too - fast and great to dance too.

At last - they searched and searched and could only find this - it is however a payable site in Finnish.

Säv. Viljo Vesterinen

which is number 1 in a book ( red cover) of 17 toons and it looks as thought the cost is 14 euros.

see how I can trace musical accents almost right back to their roots B) . But 450 years to move 77 miles?! Some sort of record there.....You must be part of the ComparetheMeercraft.com tribe :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
