En komposition av Pelle Schenell, enligt honom själv en utveckling av en simplare melodi han hört från sin mor. I spelmanskretsar spelas den ofta för att få det att sluta regna (beroende på hur många varv man spelar den så funkar det jämt, till slut). (English below)
‘The Trolls’ Bridal March’ is another one of Pelles Schenell’s popular compositions. According to Pelle the tune was a development of a melody he once heard from his mother. Folk musicians often claim that the tune has magical qualities and can make it stop raining during outdoor festivals (allegedly, if you keep playing it the rain will stop, eventually…). Connections to the supernatural are not unusual in Swedish traditional music and Pelle Schenell was well known for his knowledge about magic and other esoteric traditions.
Performed by: Thuva Härdelin (fiddle), Johanna Karlsson (fiddle) and Markus Räsänen (accordion)
