AnnC Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnC Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Thanks Steve I found this version played by Ukko-Pekka Yliranta, Anna Jaakola ja Elina Joensuu which I shall keep listening to until it lodges in the memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnC Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 I've got sidetracked now looking for the dots/abc for a Walz as well it's 'Kun kesä on mennyt' (When the Summer has gone) by J A Schatrow. I've found a clip on Youtube http://www.youtube.c...h?v=6c51HKRFi5s 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 Thanks Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveS Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 now looking for the dots/abc for a Walz as well 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. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve I've found the dots for Villiruusu and Emma , Could do with a long winter so that there's an excuse to stay indoors and do nothing but try out new tunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have asked Finn to see if they can dig it out.... but all seem to be away for the autumn ruska in the forests... tanssi-ing! will let u know if succeed. At last - they searched and searched and could only find this - it is however a payable site in Finnish. http://veikkoahvenainen.com/kirjat.html search for the 1. Sirkkojen tanssi jenkka 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. I would ring em up(not on BT!) or get their skype name or you can hit the blue text at bottom of that page and go to buy online Valitse viereisestä listasta ne nuottikirjat/oppikirjat, jotka haluat tilata: Huom.

AnnC Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) you owe me a tanssi tune played at Crackpot-above-the-Swale on a snowbound sunny winter's day! that's just 7.4 miles from where my father's family were 450 years ago, 42 miles from where he, my brothers and I were born, 58 miles from where he lives now and 77 miles from where I live (why move far when you're already in God's own country .......YORKSHIRE ..... ) Edited October 13, 2010 by anlej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 450 years to move 77 miles?! Some sort of record there.....You must be part of the ComparetheMeercraft.com tribe :rolleyes: Edited October 14, 2010 by Kautilya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
