Found these concerts were 'livestreams' recorded by the Boda Hembygdsförening Association (Sweden) during 2020 & 2021 - they wanted to help keep up music interest during normal times of their Festival & Summer activities.
There are many videos here of wonderful fiddlers & some other musicians in Boda, probably from all around the surrounding countryside, known for great music.
A well known accordionist & violinist, more of Mats Edén's viola d'amore!
The first tune is a polska named Nymåne (comp. Mats Edén)
The second is a trad. from Norway: Tussebruferdi på Vossevangen i form efter Knut Dale (Mats was taught the tune by Per Anders Buen Garnås).
So the last video led me to the FOLK - et ljydarkiv YouTube Channel, which shows different forms of Scandinavian music... plenty of fiddlers!
I think this tune's name is "Scottish Highland Cattle" - composed by Carina Juul Nielsen & Thomas Birch, the En:1 duo. The Scottish Highland Cattle caught my eye here! GREAT tune & you can see the Roskilde Fjord! Btw, Roskilde (Denmark) hosts the largest music festival in the Nordic Countries - one of the largest in Europe!
Remember, the Nyckelharpa may look complicated (sure seem easier on the body 😉), but just think of as basically playing the Viola! ALL Violists can relate to this music! Cellists, too - violin may need to play an octave higher.
...it will take me a while to get thru all the music at these 2 sites, but everything looks exciting!
