Two tunes by Cliff Stapleton. The second one is a mazurka.
I got this tune from Stephen who was at Halsway Manor for the hurdy-gurdy / bagpipe weekend. Jon Swayne used it in his workshop as it had a good use the minor 6th. It's a lovely mazurka.
We got it from an English group, The Committee Band. Their website say this about it:
“From På bar gärning by Kangas Spelemän from Finland. If our uneducated attempt at translation is correct, this mazurka comes from Pertti Vuomajärvi, one of the great old Lapp melodeon players who was born in 1894.”
I also found this youtube:
Which in the
description has info about the guy in Swedish, which can be translated with an
online translator.
I didn't think I would learn this tune. Hailie posted it on fb and it seemed nice. And it seemed I had seen it before, because of the sewing machine at the end. Anyway, it snuck into my mind, so I learned it. There are links to the music on the youtube page. The B is written an octave above where I am playing it.
Often paired with Michelle's Mazurka.
One of the mazurkas we play at the Crips and the Golden Square
An incredibly beautiful tune that Kevin Hughes introduced to the group.
A nice melodeon rendition
And a sweet harmony
