Halling - Scandi Folk Nerd #3

Emelie Waldken provides an overview of halling, this impressive folk dance found mostly in Norway and associated with vibrating, intense music. Some tips on how to play this music are also given. INFOS Halling dance = lausdans (in Valdres and Hallingdal) Some of my favourite halling dancers : Torkjell L. Børsheim (Erlend Viken is playing) :    • Torkjell L. Børsheim - NM i hallingdans 2013   Anton Schneider (here on a polska ^^) :    • Halling dialog   Anna Öberg :    • Improvisation kring Seljordsdalen/Halling ...   Not sure, but I think it's Martin Myhr :    • Norwegian hallingdans   Traditional instruments to play halling : fiddle, Hardingfele, singing/trall, jew's harp, percussions, langeleik... Halling is modal music, lydian mode being very common. Rhythmical type nr.1 : "proper halling type" in 2/4, 4/4 and with variations, for example 5/4. Tune : halling efter Per Myhr från Härjedalen, Sweden Rhythmical type nr.2 : "gangar type" in 6/8. Tune : 'Espelandsjenten' etter Unni Løvlid fra Hornindal, Sogn och Fjordane, Norway Great halling players : Erlend Viken (Erlend Viken Trio) Synnøve Bjørset (Majorstuen) Benedicte Maurseth Ånon Egeland Patrik Andersson (Supernova) Annbjørg Lien (Bukkene Bruse) Emelie plays fiddle and nyckelharpa.
