This is a dance tune (a schottische) written by John Hart from Denmark. This arrangement has a treble harmony by "Astrid" (I don't know the surname) and a baritone harmony by Michel Van Der Meiren. Available from: http://tangosite.com/concertina (which seems to be down at the moment) and http://www.spillefolk.dk/nodesamling/pdf/sc-40somre.pdf I've adapted the arrangement for mandolin quartet (2 mandolin, octave mandolin, tenor guitar). 1921 Gibson Ajr mandolin Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin Mid-Missouri M-111 octave mandolin Ozark tenor guitar Martin
In the words of my grandmother. Nok sa hyggelig
As part of my lockdown video series, I've been revisiting some old tunes. My earlier recordings of these were trial runs for the arrangements, before introducing them to our weekly group practices/jams. We've been playing them for a few years now fairly regularly,and I think the new recordings are much improved in terms of fluency and musicality. So, here is my new recording of "40 somre", one of my favourite tunes! Martin
Sounds great!
Nice performance, Martin. Tanks for PDF. The piece is fun to play. BTW below the sheet music it says: Astrid Pørtner Nielsen har lavet 2. stemmen
Thanks, Dennis and Frithjof. Yes, I noticed the surname -- when I originally posted the tune in 2014, the PDF just said "Astrid", but according to the revision history it was updated in 2016. Martin
