New
Jew's Harp CD: Fille-Vern
One of the reasons for establishing Horsk
Munnharpeforum (Norwegian Jew's Harp Forum) was
to make available the old Jew's Harp material hidden in archives around the
country, mainly in the NRK (the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation). Norwegian Jew's Harp Forum
have now released the double CD: "Fille-Vern - Old and
new masters in Norwegian Jew's Harp tradition". The first CD contain
archive recordings from 1937 to the1970s. The second CD gives samples of what has been performed at the NMF
festivals and at "Landskappleiken", the main national competion for
traditional music, song and dance. The album contains 93 tunes and the total
playing time is close to two and a half hours. Included is also a 104 page
booklet with descriptions of traditions and musicans plus some notes and
pictures (half the booklet is in English). "Fille-Vern" (Raggedy Vern) was the
nickname given to Vern Auversson (b. 1792) who traded in rags, an important
ingredient for paper production in his time. A tune called
"Fille-Vern", because it was Vern's favorite, has long been popular
among jew's harp players in the Setesdal tradition. This double-CD is a
collection of jew's harp music from areas of Norway well known for their
traditions: Telemark, Hallingdal, Gudbrandsdalen and Valdres, as well as
Setesdal, where Vern vandered with his rags. It provides an unique, in-depth
experience of the jew's harp, an instrument known world-wide, but whose roots
in Norway may go back more than 1000 years, to the days of the Vikings. Field
recordings made during the years 1937-2006 provide us with a variety of
traditional tunes performed by a variety of artists, the oldest born in 1865
and the youngest in 1977. This album is a must for all those who are
interested in Norwegian Jew's Harp traditions. You can listen to samples and buy the CDs
