Herr Mannelig

A very popular folk instrument in

the Norse and Scandinavian

countries is the “Tagleharpe.” The

origins of the instrument comes out

of northern Mongolia with a similar

instrument called the “Morin

Khuur.”

The tagleharpe and the Morin

Khuur are precursors to the violin.

Audio-Video-Song:

Herr Mannelig, “Sir Mann-Kind”

Earnie Taft starts this one off with his

fiddle to provide that “tagleharpe” sound,

and then later adds his mandolin.

I translated the lyrics into English from the

Swedish and Russian versions, and I used

an Irish-tuned, low octave mandolin (aka

“Irish Bouzouki”), a Kerry Mezzo C whistle,

an MK1 Low-C whistle, a Bodhran, and

voices.
