This is a Swedish tune. We play it after one of the E minor Princess Royals. It was aquired at a Hands on Music melodion workshop in Witney (Oxfordshire).

It’s just as well I wasn’t making the original submission, I screwed up the first two bars for the version given above in E minor, here they are again in 4/4 and with the swing:

Lite ordning på stavningen -- NoRRbotten.

Lanna-Villes schottis

The “real” name for this tune is Lanna-Villes schottis.
And yes, BTW, Norrbotten is spelled with two RRs.

Foksmusicvagen

I have this on a cassette recording “Folksmusicvagen” given to us by a Swedish friend. as far as I can tell from the very scant sleeve notes there are 6 fiddles and 1 guitar on the recording.

Scottis Fran Norboten Polka

This tune is incorrectly linked to a tune simply called Schottische on the CD “Mouthorgan” by Will Atkinson. It is not the same tune

Posted by .

This tune came from the playing of fiddler Stig Vifast Björklund (1928-1988) who was born in Finland, but lived for much of his life in Överkalix, Norrbotten. He got the tune from his foster father, Lanna-Ville (Lahna-Ville), who was so called because he came from Lahnajärvi, in Norrbotten.

I’ve fixed the problem with the bad link. It should never have been called “Schottische”.

Re: Schottis Från Norrbotten

As someone who likes Swedish music, I was quite surprised to hear this one a while ago at a local session from a melodeonist who normally plays English country dance tunes. We found this one in Em went well with the Nightshirt Schottische in G, which I have posted on this site (q.v.).
