Volume 25 Folk Music in Transition $17.99 Folk music is always found wandering through different environments and genres. Swedish composers and musicians from various epochs, working in different musical styles, have been inspired to incorporate traditional songs and melodies in widely different musical connections. Follow the course of a polska from Hjort Anders to the highly romantic splendour of tone of the 1920s in Hugo Alfvén's Dalarapsodi , but listen also to a careful piano arrangement by Knut Håkanson. Here are original recordings of singers and folk musicians followed by their respective adaptations, beginning in the 19th century and continuing to the present day. Included are music and arrangements by Richard Dybeck, Hugo Alfvén, Hilding Rosenberg, Ingvar Lidholm, Jan W. Morthenson, Karin Rehnqvist, Johansson/Wallin/Hallberg , "Folk och Rackare" and "Hedningarna". This is a reissue of the LP Folk Music in Transition from 1982 completed by still more variants of transformed folk music.
