Thread: Finnish Folk Music

    Default Finnish Folk Music

    Anyone know where I could find sheet music or tabs for some Finnish Folk music? I'm heading back to Finland in a couple of months and I'd like to have some tunes to play.

    My go-to place for all Scandinavian tunes is Spillefolk: it's a vast site with lots of tunes in sheet music, many with harmony parts and/or with MP3s/videos linked. The site is based in Denmark and most of the tunes are Danish or Swedish, but there are a fair few Finnish ones as well.

    Here is the search page:

    http://spillefolk.dk/nodesamling/findnode.php?lan=eng

    To get the Finnish tunes, select "Finland" in the "Specials" search window.
