Musical approaches to tradition - two folk music ensembles and the historical axis of creativity

Summary, in English

This session is an inquiry into the manifold meanings of tradition as a parameter of creativity in music making. Earlier this autumn, the two traditional music trios Jidder and Hialøsa spent a day together playing music and discussing how they understand and approach tradition in relation to their music. Both ensembles perform folk music from the region of Scania, Sweden. Although they share a musical platform, the approaches to tradition in terms of repertoire and practice shows both similarities and differences. Through music and words, the six musicians summarise their previous meeting, and invite all present to further discussions on the topic.
