catty Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Anyone who reads anything I write is likely weary from my NON-concertina related contributions. Yet, I persist, I guess, because I generally find the discussion here satisfying. But I digress... I actually have a gig next month to play concertina . A few colleagues and I are are throwing together a sort of fiddle extravaganza--doing sets each of Scandanavian, Celtic, Cajun and Flamenco (guitar). My fiddle bit is the cajun, so I'm playing other instrumets during the other sets. Lo, I broke out the anglo and EC (and 2-row box) for the "celtic" set at last night's rehearsal. Does anyone have clips of some simple Scandanavian tunes where melodeon (or concertina) is employed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomylly Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I can't find any youtube clips, but do a web search for Mark Gilston. He plays Scandinavian tunes on a mountain dulcimer and his lovely Wheatstone EC (at least on his Troll Road CD he does!) He is also here on C-net as tradman.

Don't have a clip of it, but "Josephine's Waltz" sounds great on the concertina and is usually popular at sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catty Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Interesting. This version: sounds to me the same as an O'Carolan planxty (help, please--I don't recall the name) that I used to play often on guitar.

Dave Prebble Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Interesting. This version: sounds to me the same as an O'Carolan planxty (help, please--I don't recall the name) that I used to play often on guitar. Couldn't get the link to work properly but sounds like Planxty Irwin to me Try searching under ' Josefin's Dopvals ' or Josefin's Waltz (Josefin's christening waltz) The tune was penned by a Swedish fellow called Roger Tallroth who played with the group Väsen. A beautiful waltz. Do resist the urge to speed it up. Played slowly, it is a haunting tune, and a Concertina & Cello combination really sounds special.

Brian Peters Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Look out for Carl Erik Lundgaard Jensen. Melodeon, not concertina, but lovely music. https://www.isound.com/carl_erik_lundgaard http://www.rootsworld.com/rw/feature/lundgaard.html There's more if you google his name.

Pippa Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Here's a clip of Josefin's as played by Vassen themselves - it's easy to learn it from this, and it works really well on anglo - http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoid=38343055 Also Serpentiner och Confetti ('Streamers & confetti') - lovely tune that's also popular in English sessions, played here by Mats Eden (who wrote it) and friends: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoid=38343055 Also the Schottische fran Havero, another session standard - the only clip I could find was here http://ffd.amplifier.co.nz/track/7189/scho...8273640C4C5AE14. It's a cracker on the anglo, gets people's shoulders going as well as their feet! Pippa hope the links come out OK - I haven't posted links before - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
