Practice... doing my own arrangement/version of an old folk tune.
Sometimes it´s just called “Juringius“, which is someone’s last name. I don´t know any history or background information about that or this tune. Hence my question mark after the title in this video. Maybe I should name it differently? To me it sounds like a polska, polonais or menuett. My wild guess is that the tune has existed at least for 250-300 years. It´s very popular among folkmusicians and folkdancers and I really love this melody... and yes I´m humming along a bit while playing :-)
Sheet (melody only):
The Folk Music Commission’s collection:
This is also music for traditional coupledancing such as different types of polska (dance)
Continous project uploading videos reflecting my everyday musicmaking and practicing. “Music-diary“ sort of. In the future it would be nice to do professional recordings playing on better instruments.
