Norwegian Fiddling with Elise Boeur
 
Elise Boeur’s diverse style of fiddling is a reflection of her many musical passions. She grew up playing Irish music in Vancouver, Canada, but became interested in Norwegian and Swedish music a number of years ago. She moved to Norway and studied traditional fiddle at the Høgskolen i Telemark College of Folk Arts, playing hardingfele and fiddle. Recently she moved to the US and has been studying American old-time and bluegrass at the Berklee College of Music and playing with musicians in the fertile Northeast folk scene. She and Brittany get started by playing a Norwegian tune called “Griffinfeld” and then Elise teaches an unnamed “springleik,” a dance tune in 3/4. She plays the tune through and then explains the feel of the tune, which is not a regular waltz feel. The first and third beats are regular but the second beat can come a little early. Elise walks you through the tune phrase by phrase and shows you some of the ornaments she uses, including a kind of backwards hammer-on, as well as where to add drones. eliseboeur.com
