Swedish Fiddle TunesThis collection of Swedish Fiddle Tunes is ideal for those unfamiliar with the Swedish tradition, as well as those seasoned veterans who are looking to extend their repertoire.
Containing a variety of polskor from all over Sweden, the arrangements provide chord suggestions as well as second voices to every tune. There is even a section dedicated to tunes associated with folklore, beautifully illustrated by Frances Marriott. Appendices give information and photos of famous spelmän and their playing styles as well as a map of Sweden's provinces so that you might have an idea of where each tune came from. An accompanying recording can be found on Bandcamp. A full index of tunes can be found here.
