Edvard Grieg adapted many Hardanger folk tunes into his compositions, and composed tunes for the Hardanger as part of his score for Ibsen's Peer Gynt. For example, it is widely believed that the opening phrase of "Morning" from Grieg's Peer Gynt music is derived from the tuning of the sympathetic strings of the Hardanger fiddle: A F# E D E F# and so on. The main theme from Grieg`s piano concerto is said to be inspired of a version of the tune Fanitullen, played by a fiddler from Hallingdal .
In recent years the instrument has gained recognition in the rest of the world. Japan has been one of the countries that has found an interest in the hardingfele and Japanese musicians travel to Norway just to learn to play this instrument.
Composer's influence continues to resonate
09/04/2007
In the opening scene of the novel "Norway no Mori" (Norwegian Wood) published 20 years ago by Haruki Murakami, a jumbo jet lands at Hamburg Airport with the protagonist on board muttering in resignation that he was back in Germany again.
The aircraft's PA system is piping soft background music, and the protagonist notes that it was some sentimental orchestral rendition of the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood."
This classic Beatles number, which became the title of Murakami's novel and is evocative of the scent of northern coniferous trees, is also oriental in atmosphere. That's because the sitar, a musical instrument indigenous to India, is used.
Norway has its own indigenous instrument, too, and, together with its folk music, it was much favored by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), who loved to incorporate Norway's music and instrument into his pieces. Tuesday marks the centennial of his death.
The instrument is called the hardingfele, or Hardanger fiddle. In addition to four regular strings, it has understrings or sympathetic strings that resonate to create a rich echo-like effect that reminds one of the Scottish bagpipe.
Rio Yamase, Japan's only professional hardingfele player, said, "Thanks to Grieg, the indigenous Norwegian sound has come to influence the entire world of classical music."
In the opening phrase of "Morning" from Peer Gynt, Grieg's well-known suite, the understrings of a hardingfele are plucked from the highest note down the scale.
The suite formed the musical accompaniment to the play of the same title by Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), and the symbolist painter Edvard Munch (1863-1944) later created a theater poster for the play. With the talents of three great Norwegian artists, one could say the play is like the ultimate embodiment of Norwegian culture.
Folk music is said to be handed down from generation to generation without the benefit of sheet music, and that accounts for its depth and character.
The official Web site of the Norwegian government quotes Grieg. The quote goes: "Life is just as strange as folk music tunes: You never know whether it unfolds in a major or minor key."
The "Norwegian wood of culture" is deep.
