✨“Vindarna Sucka Uti Skogarna” - a traditional Swedish folksong☁️🌙 In the intense nocturnal hush of this song, a shepherd/ess herds her sheep far out in the plains of Mora, under the starry sky, under the bright moonlight, all alone. The winds sigh, the river rushes, the waters of the lake lap on the shore, the Northern Lights dance in the firmament… ✨In addition to the absolutely beautiful night-language in this folksong, I love the place-specificness of the text. In a collection of Swedish folk songs published in 1929 (”Sånger för folkskolan”), we are told that this song is a “Folkmelodie från Dalarna” - a folksong from Dalarna, which is a country in central Sweden. I’ve read that it’s a place replete with natural beauty, and the song itself mentions quite a few geographical features, including lake Siljan, and the mountains and plains of Mora. I imagine that the plains would have been a perfect place for grazing sheep. ☁️There is a beautiful sheep called the Rya, which is native to Sweden and from what I’ve read, have been herded primarily in Dalarna. They have gorgeous, long, shining curling wool that has been used in traditional handicrafts, especially carpet-making and in traditional garments. 🌙 Knowing that, when I imagine the shepherd/ess who first sang this song, I like to imagine the moonlight reflecting off the shining wool of her sheep as she wraps herself in a beautiful rya rug made from their wool, keeping warm and singing through the cold northern night. ☁️I learned this song first from the beautiful playing and singing of my friend Emmett Kelly and the artist Emily Sundblad on their mesmerizing album “Secrets and Waves.” If you can get your hands on a copy of that album - released by Hacienda Books- I highly recommend it. It’s a bit haunted, in all the right ways- listening to it feels like opening a secret door into someone’s private memory.

🌙One of the darkest folksongs I’ve ever heard, and certainly the darkest “lullaby” is the Sardinian folksong “Ninna Nanna / Lullaby” sometimes called “Antoneddu Antoneddu / Young Antonio.” The three verses of this song are each sung by a different character: the first by a woman named Caterina who sings to her son; the second by the son Antonio; the third by the father, who is a bandit. ✨The lyrics tell the hard story of a family involved bandit life. As I interpret it, the story goes go: Caterina, the mother, sings to her young-adult son “I would rather you were dead than a bandit in the countryside.” The son Antoneddu responds: “Mamma, don’t take this so badly! If I am in the countryside, believe me that it’s not for dishonorable reasons.” Not reassuring in the least. In the final verse, the bandit father sings. I believe that he has lost his life, and is singing as a ghost, inhabiting a memory of falling in love with Caterina. The memory is set at the seaside, presumably far from the countryside in which his life as a bandit played out its final scene. “How beautiful the sea is,” he sings, “And Caterina’s eyes have robbed me of my heart.” ✨I learned this song from two sources: first, from a gorgeous performance that was recorded in Sardinia in the 1950s, and released as part of the Smithsonian Folkways album called “Italian Songs and Dances.” ✨Second, from the singing of the Sardinian musician Maria Carta. Her expressivity and ornamentations transfixed me. Her version was recorded in the 1970’s and is called “Antoneddu Antoneddu.” ✨A note about the text: usually the Folkways album liner notes include lyrics to the folksongs they release, but for whatever reasons, this song’s lyrics were omitted. Thankfully, I found a transcription of these lyrics submitted by the LyricsTranslate user Akiki2, and I’m so grateful to them for that! I made just a couple of minor changes based on what I was hearing by ear in the recording I primarily referenced. #sardinia #sardegna #sardinianmusic #lullaby #harp #folksong #folkmusic #darkfolk #traditionalmusic

🌙🌊Cronan na Maighdinn-Mhara / The Mermaid’s Croon🐚 In this Hebridean folksong, a Mermaid sings a lullaby for her dark-eyed daughter, and longs for her human lover who is far away on the shore. This wild melody embodies the untamable waves of the sea, the smooth swimming of the seal, the gull lifting off from the sea to the air… Everything that is beautiful and full of longing. 🌊My thanks to Aya Bourseaux who introduced me to this song a few months ago. I was so happy to get a message from her with a link to a recording of a song that felt almost impossibly beautiful to me on that first listen. I love learning about songs from people, rather than from my usual deep dives into the internet and deep cut recordings; so if you know of any songs you think I would enjoy, please pass them on! 🐚This song was collected and published in a book of Hebridean folk songs compiled Margory Kennedy-Fraser in 1909. This collection is available to all online, via IMSLP- seach “Songs of the Hebrides.” Kennedy-Fraser dedicated this collection to the women of the Hebrides who created, sang, and passed these precious songs on to her, and to us. 🌊The Hebrides are a chain of islands off the west coast of Scotland. Kennedy-Fraser transcribed “Mermaid’s Croon” from the singing of Penny O’Henley who lived on the island South Uist, and who told her that the lyrics came from another island called Eigg, which is much closer to shore, perhaps with a distant view of the bay where the mermaid’s human lover waits for her, night after night after night after night... 🌙This is my first time singing in the beautiful Scots Gaelic language, and I’m indebted to the online bilingual dictionary Faclair.com, which includes phonetic transcriptions for all the words in its database; as well as to a gorgeous recording sung by Joanne McIver, which I also referenced for pronunciation help. I hope I did alright, and as always, I look forward to improving with time✨ #hebrides #scotsgaelic #gaelic #mermaid #lullaby #harp #folkmusic #folksong #traditionalmusic
