Jon Andersson , Fel-Jon även kallad, bodde i Aspberget, Norra Finnskoga. Denna polska som återfinns i värmlandsdelen av Svenska Låtar tecknades också ner av Einar Övergaard i Elverum, Norge. Den norska varianten är sannolikt efter Martinus Amundsen (1846-1929)som spelade en vinter på danser tillsammans med Jon Andersson. Detta skedde i Gravberget, gränsbyn som i början av förra seklet beboddes av stora mängder skogsarbetare.

I denna inspelning som gjordes i Arvika den 14 januari 2014 spelar Anders Nordlöf melodin och stämman spelas av Mats Berglund.

Polska efter Jon Andersson, Norra Finnskoga

The Scottish bagpipe tune Amazing Grace played on a set of Wallace Highland pipes.

Amazing Grace (Great Highland Bagpipes)

Highland Cathedral (Great Highland Bagpipes)

The Scottish bagpipe tune Scotland the Brave played on a set of Wallace Highland pipes.

Scotland The Brave (Great Highland Bagpipes)

Traditional tune played on a "Zampogna a Chiave" (traditional Neapolitan bagpipe) made by Marco Cianciaruso. This one has the "modified drone" allowing you to, apart from the two melody chanters, to play three notes on the drone as well, making it the only (?) bagpipe on which you can play three-part-harmony...

Danza Di Ponte Vecchio (Zampogna)

This springlek (a type of quick polska) comes from Dalarna and is played on a Swedish bagpipe ("svensk säckpipa") built by Alban Faust.

Springlek efter Lissmyr Erik Persson (Swedish bagpipes)

Two conducti from the Ludus Danielis, a French mystery play of the 12th century. The first is called "Astra tenenti cunctipotenti", the second "simul omnes gratulemur" and refers to many different types of instruments that would presumably have been used in this context.

Astra tenenti cunctipotenti
Turba virilis et puerilis
Contio plaudit
Simul omnes gratulemur,
resonent et tympana;
citharistae tangant cordas,
musicorum organa
resonent ad ejus praeconia.


Astra Tenenti Cunctipotenti

A love song by the troubador Bernart de Ventadorn (c. 1130-1190).

A medieval ballad about the maiden and "Näcken" (a water spirit, usually rather malignant).

Billinge

A medieval ballad about the knight Sven Svanevit ("Swan-white"), encountering a bandit who blocks the way, demanding that Svanevit answers his questions in order to let him pass. A bit like the scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail, but with less hacking of limbs...

A very melancholy song from Småland in southern Sweden, about love long lost...

The Pipes and Drums

A rocking tune in true Celtabilly style. The one that usually gets the crowd swinging when
the party starts jumping, the feet tapping and the heartbeat thumping.

Chasin the Beer

One you will feel you recognise and we hope you will enjoy listening to the pure energy the
Drummers and Piper put out, as they take it to the limit and back again with this one.
