Thirteen original tunes for the Hardanger d'Amore, composed and performed by Dan Trueman.
The Hardanger d'Amore is a new 5-string instrument, a cross between the 5-string fiddle and the Hardanger fiddle. Dan commissioned the first of these from renowned Norwegian instrument builder Salve Håkedal in 2010, and Salve has now made more than 30 for fiddlers from around the world.
These tunes—"Crooked Tunes from the Crooked Downs of Shoreham"—are a product of Dan's experiences with traditional music from Norway, Ireland, and America, and contemporary classical music, and are named after places in Shoreham, New York, were Dan grew up.
