Swedish folksong, Tune from Utanmyra, Organteq
Tune from Utanmyra (Visa från Utanmyra, Utanmyra being a location in the province of Dalarna, Sweden).
A Swedish folk song. Just how old the song is is unknown An early version was titled O Tysta Ensamhet, in English would translate O Silent Solitude.
The song has been played in a jazz context and interpreted by several artists, including Arne Domnérus, and Jan Johansson. Johansson's version was featured on his seminal 1964 album Jazz på svenska.
I tried to get a slightly mournful clarinet sound, to describe the insecurity of the emigrants who emigrated from Sweden to America...
Best wishes,
Stig
