From the Finlands Svenska Folkdiktning archive. Matts Lindbäck or ‘Bagg-Matt’ (1862–1937) was a blacksmith and farmer from Ostrobothnia, a Swedish-speaking region of the west Finnish coast with a rich musical tradition. Many of Bagg-Matt’s tunes have a sort of stolid resolve about them, twinned with a quirky harmonic language that rarely settles in one key for more than a few bars. This is a Menuett with plenty of attitude.

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance.
Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
