Andrew Bird does a beautiful solo version of this song on his album "Thrills".

He is an incredible artist if you have stumbled across him yet :)

Hope this helps.

[jorgenstenlund]

Very interesting, I haven't heard Andrew Bird's album "Thrills". I'll check it out. Thank you for the tip.

[Formosa200]

Special culture, special people, Scandinavians in general. Thumbs up

[Slimsoj]

Mycket vackert. Tack för uppladdningen.

[Frosvithomas]

Snyggt jobbat! Inte dåligt med över 60 000 visningar!

[jorgenstenlund]

Tackar!

[carinha40]

Helt underbart!

Tack!

[finnfellow]

this is such a great wedding march and very well played, also well known in western finland!

[jorgenstenlund]

Very interesting! I didn't know that.. The music in Norway, Finland and Denmark share much I guess

[caijcat]

wow, this is beautiful!!

is there any music similar to this that i can buy on itunes or online?

[jorgenstenlund]

I don't think this particular tune is available. There are several other beautiful tunes in the old Swedish (and Scandinavian) tradition. Some famous groups and names with old and new music are Väsen, Hedningarna, Hoven Droven and Susanne Rosenberg. We (Fafner) only have a demo CD. The source for this particular tune was my main inspiration, a famous Swedish fiddler called Kalle Almlöf .

[djstoltz2000]

You should use a service like TuneCore to get that demo CD on iTunes! I would definitely buy it, music is beautiful and I can pick out each voice, if I had the time I would transcribe this (college finals though...)!

[zookwick]

Otroligt vackert! Tack!

[Loominthesea]

Lovely, lovely, thanks!

[sbarr10]

This is stunningly lovely.

[BocaFriend]

There's something so entrancing about this performance. Maybe the relaxed beauty of it speaks to everyone. Sweden is dear to me because of loved ones who live there, so I'm grateful for your posting. Best wishes from South Florida, ~Terry

[jorgenstenlund]

Ja, den är svensk men visst har den speciell och ovanlig tonalitet (eller vad det nu heter). Det är en gammal marsch från Nås Finnmark i västra Dalarna

[karlkalkon]

So schön!!!!

[hogarth1738]

Anyone know how I could get my hands on some sheet music for this tune?

[IckyTzatziki]

I am looking for it too!

[acra0000]

It is truly a wondeful song, but too sad for a wedding. Would it be played at my wedding, i would cry the whole time

[BjoornTorsk]

Welcome to the melancholy of Sweden! :) Very much of the swedish musical tradition is rather melancholic, but therein lies it's beauty!

[karpov89]

Vackert! Vilken kyrka spelar de i?

[jorgenstenlund]

De spelar i en kyrka i centrala Örebro, Betelkyrkan vid Våghustorget.

[CatarinaJohansson]

Min mormor, som fyller 103 i maj vill att jag ska spela den på hennes begravning!

[Elinamarianne]

103!!!! HELT fantastiskt, hälsa mormor från Finland :)

[jorgenstenlund]

Vi som spelar i Fafner skickar också våra varmaste gratulationer på 103-årsdagen! Vi spelar några födelsedagslåter som kanske kan anas ända till Finland

[mrprefect42]

Awesome

[GraceTemptation]

This is soooo beautiful! :'(

[87contagious87]

Vad heter denna? Jag ska ha den när jag gifter mig ju!

[jorgenstenlund]

Som de flesta av de gamla låtarna saknar den namn (såvitt jag vet), den benämns efter personen som förde den vidare som i detta fall var Herman Strömberg. Alltså Brudmarch från Nås Finnmark efter Herman Strömberg. Om du vill kan jag försöka fixa en mp3-variant på låten åt dig.

[ADRIANAWANTSME]

Beautiful

[JustWickedSwede]

Now I'm really home-sick :´(

[jpascua1983]

Anyone know the song's name?

[jorgenstenlund]

Its an old melody passed on from person to person in the typical folkmusic fashion. I don't know any particular name but its a bridal march from Nås Finnmark which we learnt from a well known musician, Kalle Almlöf who said it was passed on from Herman Strömberg (1882-1967) who probably learnt it from his grand-father Lejsme-Per (1827-1907).

[PhilipSaxin]

Det var jag som spelade in dem, :D Bra spelat!

[turbografx16]

Well played!

[svion]

Låten speglar den svenska folksjälen där vemodet och den tigande längtan alltid finns närvarande.

[Cemensulca]

Jättevackert!

[sejdaren]

vackert visst men man undrar ju lite över hur vi svenska är...låter mer passande på en begravning den här sången än ett bröllop

[jorgenstenlund]

Jag tycker inte att den är så ledsam, snarare högtidlig. Det finns betydligt mer begravningsbetonade marscher t.ex. Brudmarsch från Dalby (i Värmland tror jag) som också är vacker

[bappbappi]

v-dala rules

[sekaijon]

Så jävla vackert så man bara vill dricka brännvin och grina!

[ahmadjawadi]

Very nice playing, mycket fint spela

[vesisotku]

Vackert!

[butterbluemchen90]

i love it

[ENatanael]

Snyggt spelat!
