Bryngelhogen
A gånglåt is a traditional Swedish Folk song which is like a march but more relaxed, and intended to be played/sung/hummed when walking.

The story so far:

Björn-Jon - Melodi och ursprunglig MIDI-programmering
Sven-Martin - Nyckelharpa, cello, viola (alla från hans trädgårdsskjul)

Bryngelhögen is a village of 3 houses in the province of Jämtland in the north of Sweden (see the picture).

This is my attempt to write a modern piece of music in a very traditional Swedish style. The mood of this tune should be seen against the background of the following facts:

  • Sweden has winter for 5 months when we have about 4 hours of daylight, a standard Swedish summer is about 2 weeks. The rest of the year it rains.
  • We have among the highest taxes in the world
  • We are high on the "average number of suicides per capita" ranking

Still, I love my country, and I urge you all to celebrate our
National Day on June 6 (start preparing now and avoid the christmas rush!

Traditional Swedish instruments are:

Fiol (violin or fiddle - NOT the name of a Kompoz big shot)
Nyckelharpa (apparently it is called "nyckelharpa" also in English... hmmm odd)
Vevlira (hurdy-gurdy)
