that's not water splashing against a rock lol. that's the cameraman making deliberate movements. i like the music but this took me out a bit. cute sentiment tho c:
@njux1871, actually that sound really is water splashing against a rock. The cameraman (filming with a mobile phone) was several metres away from the water. Some waves from a distant motorboat splashed against the rock when I played. That water sound was not planned or edited.
I'm Icelandic and haven't heard this before, so I am very grateful for the opportunity. It's very beautiful and the majestic Finnish scenery in the background only adds to it. Thank you for introducing me to a song from my culture that I didn't know about, I greatly appreciate it!
Hi @Gilsworth! Glad to hear the melody touched you. The melody is from the book Icelandic Folk Songs (Íslensk Þjóðlög). ”Pastor Bjarni Þorsteinsson (1861-1938) was Iceland´s foremost collector of folk music in Iceland. He was also a talented musician and a composer of many pieces for voice and choir, of which many are frequently sung in Iceland. He started collecting folk songs about 1880 and after 25 years published the book Icelandic Folk Songs (Íslensk Þjóðlög) with the support of the Carlsberg Foundation in Denmark. The book has hundreds of folk songs, some Bjarni notated after listening to singers and chanters from various parts of the country, and others were sent to him from fellow collectors.” The text is from here: siglofestival.wpcomstaging.com/siglufjordur-folk-music-center/?amp=1
@Gilsworth Greetings! I guess my question may sound strange, but could you by any chance help me understand couple of lines from this awesome movie Útlaginn? I can't find some words and the english subs not very good.
@@Gilsworth Great! So there's a version of movie here on YT and It seems the subs are not correct in the last dialog when Eyjólfur offers his hand ( ua-cam.com/video/VGHBb1X-0YM/v-deo.html ). Does he demand "smth" before "tven manngjöld"? What is Þórdís' line? I understand she calls Börkur lítilmenni) And here: ua-cam.com/video/VGHBb1X-0YM/v-deo.html, what goes after "Jaja"? Thank you for reply!
some of the most interesting parts of western/northern european folk music are the approach to looping back into the heart of the melody and where resolution/finding home fits into the picture at different parts of the pieces. this really shows how much you can get out of so little when you aren't limited to conventions we've mostly grown up with now
The melody almost speaks words, in any language, according to the heart and culture of a listener. Thank you for sharing your music. Greetings from South Africa.
I love this! The music together with the sound of the wave is so heavenly! Please play more like this in nature if it's not too cold for you. It's so peaceful.
Thank you for your feedback @AriaHarmony! I do love to play outside. There are just some challenges for recording outside - for example the background noise. But maybe I could try to shoot videos in nature more often. An interesting thing is how much the scenery is effecting our brains when we are listening (and watching) music from UA-cam.
It’s a beautiful and unique sound. I started violin lessons earlier this year and I’m now realizing I’m trying way too hard. I’m tackling 51 different notes with no frets to guide me when really I just need 3! No wonder I sound so crummy lol.
Gosh wow, a fellow violin learner! 51 notes already! I'm still on 1st position after 18 months so only 21 so far! I changed my tutor recently who drastically improved my bowing technique and sounding so much better... Just gotta get the right fingering each time! I'm actually nursing a fractured wrist atm so will be apart from my violin for many more weeks. 😥 But you're right. Who needs 51 notes when you can have 3! Simple pieces played beautifully is a target. Check out Hilary (Hahn) playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to prove my point. Good luck with it all and above all, have fun!
@@lassilogren I guess a ‘good time’ is subjective lol. Sometimes I don’t necessarily ‘love practicing’ but afterwards I always love the fact that I ‘have practiced’. Plus there’s no feeling better than when you can finally perform a piece you have loved listening to for years but thought would be beyond your ability. Music makes life so much more beautiful. Thank god I took to it.
@@wakingtheworld I didn’t say I could play all the notes 🤫. I’m still in first position as well haha. I just know that they are there waiting for me when I’m ready to explore the potential of the violin. I have heard many times that the violin is the most difficult instrument to learn (especially as an adult). Maybe that’s why it’s also the most raw and beautiful voice in the musical kingdom (my opinion, although a saxophone has a case to make here as well haha). Keep it up. Don’t lose your ambition to learn even if you let yourself lose focus for a while. I find getting a lesson every week and being accountable to a teacher is a good motivation and it sounds like you have that plan as well.
Just B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. The music, the setting, the lapping water. Music doesn't have to be complex to be beautiful [and that's something for me to bear in mind while I'm learning the violin 😆]
In my mind's eye, a boy of maybe 12 sits, grieving his pony who died in a storm. He weeps, humming and playing this sweet song for a long afternoon, until his sadness dissolves and the sky spirit of possibility whistles him home, to console the pony's mama. He becomes stronger, but softer, too. He becomes, not long after, a man, riding a beautiful horse. And sometimes he remembers his pony and his song on sad, rainy afternoons.
wounderful, I've been living in island for a short time and this song just brings me back to the summer and it's first(at least for me) warm days. At the time I was working on a little Island near Reykjavík. I woke up a bit late and my friends where already working outside. I remeber the the field shining golden and the air beeing fresh as ever. They Both were shirtless which Impressed me a lot but also made me laugh about their Stubborness. Now looking back this meant, in some way, home to me. In the same way this melody means home to me. It's the first Summer-Sun strong but still slow. The Stubborn Dance of Life.
Was there someone off-camera swirling the water around as you were playing? Clever, if so! And I certainly applaud your musicianship either way. That was beautiful and effortlessly folksy and perfect for Iceland.
Hi @sarahnadeofpoetry, thank you for your feedback. There was no clever planned off-camera swirling, but some waves of a distant motorboat reached the shore during the playing.
There were actually 4 notes in that melody. At 1:00 and the other parts where you used your middle finger, that created the note F. There were 5 notes total if you include the G drone string.
@@lassilogren In that case, even a one note melody is actually every other note at the same time. Every sound is every other sound. Because of that, you can really just play whatever you want. Is that instrument capable of chromatics? Or is it just diatonic in standard tuning?
@St0ckwell It´s possible to play also chromatic melodies on Jouhikko: you can choose the places you are fingering to the string. It would be possible to play for ex that Icelandic melody on "C-minor" by touching your index finger closer to the tuning peg (playing Eb).
I'm sorry for nitpicking but I wouldn't count the G drone as part of the melody, but as an accompainment. So I'd say it's a 4 note melody as you had pointed out before. Have a good day
For once, I definitely loved a three-notes jouhikko/tagelharpa playing ;) Really appreciated how you phrased this simple melody, giving it all the depth it can have, which is definitely more than one could think at first ! I do believe the G drone is a little bit of a cheat though, because it definitely adds a lot !
Thanks Todd! Obviously I played louder than I talked, but the tune is here more important than my talking :) if increasing the volume doesn't help, maybe the headphones will?
Thanks very much Lassi. I have tried different tunings but I like yours best. I am enjoying your videos very much. I am fairly new to the tagelharpe - mine was built for me by a Viking re-enactor in Ireland and I come to it from being a bowed psaltery player! I am beginning to improve the sound I make and very much enjoying the learning process. Thanks again.
Hi Frances, I’m using rounded bridge. Historically Jouhikko bridges were probably (more) flat. With a flat bridge you can play all the 3 strings at the same time - and make a louder noise. But with a rounded bridge you can separate easier which two strings you want to play at the same time. I would say that a bridge is round enough if you can easily play 2 strings at the same time, without playing the 3rd one. But if it is too rounded, you have to make too big movevent with your right arm when changing for ex from C4 string to D4 string. If you are aiming an authentic and pure traditional playing style, the flat bridge could be an option. A negative thing is that the melody may not be heard very clearly.
Agree, the volume level is quite low: This was an outdoor filming with a normal mobile phone. I found lot’s of tips when I googled ”How to make your headphones louder”.
@@lassilogren those tips dont work, the only thing that really works is buying extra external speakers with their own power source which i am not going to do for just 1 or 2 videos
@Markdpricemusic1574 Yes. Today, solo playing or singing (with a melody of a few notes) is somehow exotic, although in the past it was globally probably the most common form of music. The music we listen to now is often much more massive.
If you include the G that is played as a drone, and the F that is played as a grace note, there are actually 5 pitches being used here. But that being said, this is still an incredible example of economy of means in music creation. This is a beautifully haunting and soulful melody. Less is more here, and I think that is an important message to consider and contemplate. Not just in music and the arts, but in all aspects of life. Thank you so much for sharing this precious gem with the world. 🙏
@@lassilogren You are quite welcome my friend! I really hope that you will continue to share your music and your artistry with the world! I love folk music of all kinds and ethnomusicology in general. But as much as I love it and appreciate it, these are areas where my knowledge and experience are sadly lacking! I hope that you will continue to share these beautiful performances of beautiful folk music performed in beautiful settings! I would love to hear more Icelandic music, but also folk music from your native Finland, as well as any other music you enjoy performing. I would also love to learn more about the harp that you are performing on, and if there are any other instruments like this that enjoy playing. As you can probably already tell, I have a genuine passion for all things music, and I love to keep expanding my knowledge and broadening my exposure to as many musical traditions as I possibly can. I teach music and drama at a conservatory for the arts here in NYC. I’m always trying to experience and explore as much music as I can, not just for my own enjoyment and edification, but also to be the very best instructor I can possibly be for my composition and music theory students.
Hi, thank you for sharing your thoughts! There are many different melodies on my YT channel, played with the different styles and tunings. I’m glad if you can use them as a referance on your teaching. Unfortunately the settings are often more like living room than outdoor settings. 🙂

Ah, sweet proof that music is not just notes & a beat but phrasing & intonation as well. And some water splashing against a rock 👍🏼
@janicegibson, thank you for your words. Yes, phrasing and intonation are sometimes as important than notes and a beat.
That’s the beat!
true, though I can't say this was particularly good either

So nice to hear that @MattxRed!
Wow, that is exciting
Little-known fact: This lively number was topping Icelandic charts in 1763.
😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Omg, no wonder this version is so catchy!
You sure that wasn't 1263? 😂
Oddly. .....I really like it.....calming piece to be played by the campfire 😀❤
It was very influential to Mozart. He was very inspired by this amazing piece of music and decided to use the C, E and the D in his compositions, too.

Hi Frances,
for 3 string instrument that kind of tuning is pretty useful. Glad to hear you are enjoying for playing jouhikko/tagelharpa!
Hi again Lassi, do you use a flat bridge or a rounded one? At the moment I have a rounded one but am wondering whether to change. Thanks. F.

Perfect music for a hobbit wedding!
Okey! 🙂
very special
Thank you @mariarosolemos7469!
Needs more strings and/or a fingerboard. Otherwise, it was very entertaining.
@kosmokritikos9299 thank you!
That melody is close to that of “Three Blind mice”. Well the first Line of the song.
Yes, there are many melodies that has the same Mi Re Do line.
Ah, that something as simple and exquisite as this might exist...
Thanks @Man_of_Tears!
I’m an elementary music teacher, and I might try to work this into a lesson sometime. Is there a traditional name for this melody?
Check the video description 🙂
What is the instrument and is it handmade? Very cool😊
Hello @CamLankford,
the instrument is Jouhikko, it’s a Finnish name. Swedish names are Tagelharpa or Talharpa. It is handmade by Mr. Rauno Nieminen.

Lovely! So soothing, thanks for sharing🙏💦🙏💦🙏
Thank you @violinwithRosemary! 🌻
@@lassilogren my pleasure🤗✌
Wonder what it’d sound like if the E was Eb
Tested also that @JA-rj6xd. It was, as you might expect, a much sadder melody.
I really like it. Thank you!❤👍🏼
Thank you @MaiRaven3! 🙏
Good melody
I agree.
Homies got my pining for the fjords!
Nicely said @vimtheprotogen2855!
If you include the G that is played as a drone, and the F that is played as a grace note, there are actually 5 pitches being used here. But that being said, this is still an incredible example of economy of means in music creation. This is a beautifully haunting and soulful melody. Less is more here, and I think that is an important message to consider and contemplate. Not just in music and the arts, but in all aspects of life. Thank you so much for sharing this precious gem with the world. 🙏
Thank you @charles.e.g.!
@@lassilogren You are quite welcome my friend! I really hope that you will continue to share your music and your artistry with the world! I love folk music of all kinds and ethnomusicology in general. But as much as I love it and appreciate it, these are areas where my knowledge and experience are sadly lacking! I hope that you will continue to share these beautiful performances of beautiful folk music performed in beautiful settings! I would love to hear more Icelandic music, but also folk music from your native Finland, as well as any other music you enjoy performing. I would also love to learn more about the harp that you are performing on, and if there are any other instruments like this that enjoy playing. As you can probably already tell, I have a genuine passion for all things music, and I love to keep expanding my knowledge and broadening my exposure to as many musical traditions as I possibly can. I teach music and drama at a conservatory for the arts here in NYC. I’m always trying to experience and explore as much music as I can, not just for my own enjoyment and edification, but also to be the very best instructor I can possibly be for my composition and music theory students.
Hi,
thank you for sharing your thoughts!
There are many different melodies on my YT channel, played with the different styles and tunings. I’m glad if you can use them as a referance on your teaching. Unfortunately the settings are often more like living room than outdoor settings. 🙂
This reminds me of Ligo songs from Latvia
Yes, there are common elements on Nordic and Baltic historical folk song melodies.
Icelandic "Mary had a little lamb."
@therongir definitely!
Marvellous
Thanks @vesternor!
It's the simple things that we treasure
True @woodybrison8474!
Sounds Beautiful ❤😊
Thanks @bassmanbilly1969! 🙏
This place is so peaceful and beautiful.
@HeortirtheWoodwarden I agree.
What's up with the splashing tho
Hello @josuevalar6465,
there were some waves of a distant motorboat reached the shore during the playing, that water sound was not planned or edited.
I think I heard an F in one of the trills
Correct @sveaternuts, I’m playing F as a grace note few times.
Lovely. Thank you!
Thank you @littlebits4559!
