Marcus Davidson - Felefantasi (World Premiere) | Bristol Ensemble Contemporary
The world premiere of Marcus Davidson’s Felefantasi, a work inspired by the Hardingfele (the Norwegian folk fiddle). Performed live by the Bristol Ensemble at 1904 Arts Club, Bristol on 24 May 2024.
A note from the composer:
I first got to know the Hardingfele (the Norwegian folk fiddle) in 2008 when I wrote a piece called Huldrasong for Hardingfele ensemble, specially commissioned for the Hardingtonar festival, June 2008 in Norheimsund, Norway. It was performed by a large ensemble of about 30 players in 5 parts, lasting 8 minutes. It was the first time I had a chance to appreciate the unusual sound and playing techniques of the Hardingfele. I was fortunate to collaborate with well-known players, Håkon Høgemo and Benedicte Maurseth.
I moved to Norway in 2010 and began collaborating with Osterøy Spel og Dansarlag (Hardingfele ensemble), who are based on the island on the west coast of Norway where my wife grew up.
Osterøy Spel og Dansarlag won the Vestlandskappleiken (Hardingfele competition) with the Huldrasong in 2012 and was released on their CD FelaLiv of the same year.
In 2014, Osterøy Spel og Dansarlag commissioned me to write 2 pieces, Bestamorsklokka and Volvedans (Hardingfele ensemble in 4 parts) and was premiered at Ungdomshuset på Hauge, Osterøy, in November 2014.
During my work with the Hardingfele I was able to spend time with individual players and study in detail the finger positions, tuning, drone technique, melodic style and time signatures which makes Hardingfele music unique to the ear.
My intention with Felefantasi is to write a piece for string quintet, where I break down the individual elements that makes Hardingfele music so captivating and reconstruct it in a modern context. I hope to create a journey for the audience through the different sounds and emotions of Hardingfele music, promoting it in an exciting and sensitive way - music which embodies the very sound and soul of Norway, which is today my home.

Love the baroque bow 👍🏼
Gracias, contigo será mi acompañamiento. ❤ Thank u very much 🎶🎻
ANYBODY KNOWS WHATS PLAYING AT THE BEGINNING?
Nice class, but totally eurocentric. All bowed instruments came to Europe from the african islamic mourish People. They have beem used since de 9 century in Persia and spreaded in Europe because of The Islamic Caliphates in Portugal and Spain
Thank you for this information
This is all rubbish the violin is an instrument that its origins in older instruments that were similar brought by the Arabs to Europe from the east. The rebab with turned into rebec than eventually was developed into the violin in italy.
Как тут не сравнить двух музыкантов.Гаврилова и Плетнева.Плетнев Гениален.Гаврилов преаратил себя в Либерачи.Но даже тот не позволял себе такого шутовства.
Стал шутом.Или обострились проблемы с психикой.
Thank's a lot , a lot , a lot !!!!! You play wonderful ! And today , i have an accompagnement for to play with you my violin . It"s very generously from you ! Excuses my mistakes , i am french , and i never use english . D-IEU with you .
There are some mistakes on the description of bows. The "Tartini's bows" were not "long" at all... We know from plenty of recent research, that many Italian violinist were preferring the shortest version of a baroque bow.
Hi Marian four thirty in the morning and have listened to your Fabulous music first time I have heard you play I loved it especially circles your old friend colin from the new Inn x
The instrument painted by Rafael is a lira da braccio, and they're not sympathetic strings. although they're not fingered, they are played on. Da Vinci played this instrument, he is depicted playing it. The violin did NOT evolve from the viola da gamba. He throws around and mixes up a lot of terms with myriad suppositions and lets "we can see" suffice for evidence.
Bravo thoroughly entrancing.!
I liked your friends composition better than Bartok! Your work reminds me of silent movie music. WONDERFUL TURN OF THE CENTURY MELANCOLI. THANK YOU LADIES YOUR WORK IS VERY BEAUTIFUL!
What the hell was that?
Unlistenable. But deserving of a full review
by a psychiatrist.
Thank you ❤
His music style changed 😮❤
Can you provide a link to this music please?
You're still playing as beautifully as you did back in those Birmingham days, Roger, thank you for posting this recording. John Gray / Benjamin in Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat...
I don't understand as what is this? Smashing means nothing to music.
Didn't Richter also smash the piano so many times?
@@yashbspianoandcompositions1042 yes, he did and all that meant nothing to music either.
Lovely, my sincere condolences Polly..Ann Bronnert nee Wiltshire (Stert)
Many years ago in London ca. 1990/1991 I was lucky enough to hear Declan play “Alone” by Heart on the piano. All these years later I remember his performance.
Really entertaining playing!
Very nicely played👍🎹🎹🎹
A very poignant & beautifully played piano accompaniment.

This works for cello too. I am using it when I play cello. Thank you.
Thank you so much. May I use your video? Perfedt tempo and the wy you play, excellent
I want the transcription too!! Really beautiful.
Excellent!
Perfect! My cello and I love this! Thanks a lot.
Trying to survive is the key. Thank you for your brilliant arrangement. Wacky & original.
Beautiful sounds Lauren. A varied programme that really shows off the flute & played with real panache. Thank you.
Love
Wow! Very beautifully played. Extremely well done. Love it. 👏👏👏❤️
I'm confused. In one part, he says that the violin only made 4 or 5 changes from Baroque to Modern violins. But then how did all the composers change it? How did Paganini get a richer sounding violin? What changes were made there? And so on for all the other composers as well.
You developed the gift and that is unmeasurable.
Great poem‼️ Lovely video and reciting..✅

The most Lark-like Ascension I have ever heard. Thank you.
Perfect!
Beautifully played & carefully selected repertoire to present the best of music from the movies. Thank you.
Exactly what i was looking for! Thanks You very much! Really helpful!
Just met Declan, wonderful purity of sounds! He is going to teach me a few tricks as from this coming Saturday, for chords, rhythm etc. It’s going to be great!
Just met this guy, who is now going to give me new violin lessons as from this coming Saturday, need to work on my chords, bowing and my rhythm! It is going to be great!
Wonderful music .A much appreciated breath of fresh air during these claustrophobic times.Thank you.
