This is an old set/suite of three dance tunes found in a handwritten manuscript from Copenhagen dated around the year 1700. They are a fine example of the concept of the "Dantz/Proportion/Serras" which is a kind of three part dance suite - of Polish origins - that seems to have been somewhat common in Denmark and Scandinavia during most of the 18th century. The perticular tunes in the video above are named "Polis", "Proportion" & "Sera Cleba" in the original manuscript which clearly puts them in this category. They are basically early examples of what we now know as the "polska" within Scandinavian (and especially Swedish) traditional dance music. For more info on this subject: folkbaroque.wordpress.com/music/the-polish-dance-in-scandinavia/2/ The lovely rendition that Nicolas and Troels are performing in this video is inspired by this recording by Lars Lilholt on his album "Next Stop Svabonius" from 1998: ua-cam.com/video/tkOsI9FZvso/v-deo.html Lars named the track "Ældste Danske Polskdans" (litt. "The oldest Danish polska") claiming that these are the oldest polska-kind-of tunes that we have evidence for in Denmark... Personally I'm a bit sceptical about that, but on the other hand nobody has proven him wrong on this matter as far as I know! ;-)
Great initiative, and beautiful playing!
Adorei !!!! Muito Bom !!! Eduardo Yoshizato - São Paulo - SP - Brasil

This is so beautiful and evocative✨Does anyone know the names of these three tunes?
i fing the are called VIRELAI
I love the instrument, but not the (English) name. 'Drejelire' is much better :)
What are the names of the Tunes?
👏👏👏♥️🔥♥️👏👏👏
I'm getting a sudden urge to jump into a longboat and raid england
Måske lidt offroad Euro dance lagt ind over, kunne det køre
Hurdy Gurdy sounds so Indian Lol
Yes, it's a ridiculous name for a great instrument.
true@@Tom_Quixote
big iron
people dance to stuff like this? sounds so menacing lol
I think it's a modern thing to play the songs so slowly that they sound sinister. Back in the day, they would play faster and dance :)
Well remember we were more rustic, hearty and barbaric ( in a good way) back then. The instrument as well as most instruments are genius designed
