Waltz From Orsa

A lovely tune from Sweden.Buttons And Bows recorded it,and I hear it now and again in sessions,so I suppose it’s an Irish tune by adoption.

Also recorded by Fiddler’s Bid on their CD ‘Naked & Bare’
For some reason there is no link to that recording for this tune.

Fixed it hetty 🙂

Macklins Vals From Orsa

My transcription from the playing of Fiddlers’ Bid on their CD ‘Naked & Bare
Only a few small differences but sometimes small differences can make a big difference. No doubt it’s probably obvious that I prefer their Take on the tune and their CD is ‘beautiful’.

Vals from Orsa

I learned this in the 1970s from a wonderful LP, Folk fiddling from Sweden: traditional fiddle tunes from Dalarna played by Björn Ståbi & Ole Hjorth (1970, Nonesuch H-72033). These guys added beautiful second fiddle parts, some of which I transcribed at the time. Main tune matches Dafydd’s of 9 yrs ago except a note or two; no energy at the moment to abc the 2nd fiddle. But I WILL upload another 2-part tune from that album - Polska from Enviken - if it’s not on thesession yet. I’m sure it’s really British/Irish…… 😉
