Hon har vaskat fram en IYIn" samiing folkvisor, hamtade fran ett flertal av landskapets socknar. MAnefalden av dmnen och stdmningar har hon velat spegla genom att inleda med visan Om morqonen helt bittida och avsluta med'Om aftonen cir pust och grdt. AII| som finns ddremellan hittar man i hennes vlsor. Margareta har ocksA menat att vi inte liingre ska tro pA den bild vi fick av "folkvisan" i vAra skolsangbdcker.Visst finns det vemod och molltoner i mAnga visor, det kommer man inte ifr6n. Men det finns ju sA ozindligt mycket mel. Lyssna bara pA Hcir sha ni se en liuad figur eller den lilla nonsensstumpen A du har i ku! Sjiilv fastnar jag ftir Scilla cir de ynglingar som slipper gtL att tjrina niir jag tzinker pA det mAngtydiga i begreppet folkvisa. Visan handlar om de arbetsvandringar som dalfolket under mAnga hundra 6r fAtt grira fdr att skaffa sig forsdrjning. Med tungt hjiirta liimnade man sin by, kanske for att bege sig till Stockholm, diir man kande sig "liksom ett lamm i frtlmmande land" och fick som "fAren bland ulvar trdla sig fram". Kanske viintar man sig en nedstdmd melodi till en sAdan bitter text? Nej, istiillet sjungs en glad, ftir att inte sdga uppsluppen trall, som speglar okuvad livs- och sAngargliidje. Melodin har t.o.m. passat att anvelnda som gAnglAt under herrarbetsvandringarna, dA man minsann behijvde en liittsam musik. De tre leksandsspelmdnnen visar hur det kunde IAta niir den arbetande skaran var pA marsch. NAgra andra av Margaretas visor beriittar om en vdsentlig sida av Iivet i Dalarna: fiibodarna. Lockrop, visor fitr och om fiibodarna beskriver sAvitl det omvittnat sk6na som miidan i en fZibodvistelse.I fiibodlivets arbetsmusik - hornlAtarna och lockropen - finns dessutom nyckeln till den dvriga folkmusikens melodislingor. PA senare Ar har intresset ftir folkmusiken som bekant cikat kraftigt och skapat rnAnga unga spelmiin. Niistan alla har funnit sin litrepertoar och -stil

4 genom att lyssna till den levande traditionen och samtidigt studera dldre folkmusikuppteckningar. NAskullan Margareta Jonth visar hiir att man kan gcira detsamma pa folkvisans omr6de. Margareta har bAde lyssnat och ltist. Det hrir man. Plus att hon diirtill lagt sin sAngutbildning och sin begAvning. Det htir man ocks6.

Margareta qlonth, sopran, frAn NAs i Viisterdalarna. Folkvisor - som vi hcir henne sjunga har - har funnits inom och omkring henne alltsedan barndomen. Det har givit henne roller i bAde Ingmarsspelen i NAs och Himlaspelet i Leksand. Hon har ocksA hdmtat hem flera priser i de stora internationella folksAngstiivlingarna i Wales. Sin s6ngutbildning har hon erhdllit av liirare som Kerstin Lindberg- Torlind, Stockholm och Elisabeth Rad6, Wien, samt genom studier vid Musikhdgskolan i Stockholm och Operastudio -67. Hon iir verksam som konsertsAngerska b6de i Sverige och utomlands. I ABCD-visan ackompanjeras hon av sin man, Leif Lyttkens, som vid sidan av sitt arbete som lzi.karespelar klassisk gitarr. Spelmiinnen Alm Nils Ersson, Kungs Levi Nilsson och Lars Jobs kommer frAn Siljansnds och Leksand. De hijrs ofta tilisammans med den kiinde leksandsspelmannen Knis Karl Aronsson, som ocks6 bidragit med (eller nagra av skivans visor.

argareta Jonth has chosen wisely from amoqg the vast store of songs frJm Dalecarlia in making her selection for this record. She has sifted out a fine collection of folk-songs from a large number of different parishes. The variety of subjects and moods she has tried to reflect by starting with the song In the morning uery early and ending with .In the euening are wailing and iears. Everything in between can be found in her songs' Maigareta also has intended that we should no longer trustth-e impression 'folk-song' we forried of the from our school song books. Melancholy and mrnor harmonies are indeed to 6e found in many of the songs; they are unavoidable elements. But there is also very much more. Just listen to Here you will seea liuely type or the nonsense-rhyme oh you haue a cow! For me the song Yes,happy are the youngsters who need not go and serue typifies the diversity which is included in the term folk-song. The song describes the journeying in search of work which the people of Dalecarlia were for many centuries in order to survive. with a heavy obliged to undertake 'like heait one left the village, perhaps for Stockholm where one felt a lamb in 'toil a foreign country' and had to like sheep among wolves'. One might expect u rorto-*f.rl tune to such a poignant text. But instead it is sung to a cheerful, almost high-spirited melody which illustrates an indomitable enthusiasm for life and for singing. The tune was even found suitabie for use as a march by itinerant men searching for work, people obviously in need of cheering music. The three fiddlers from Leksand demonstrate the sort of sounds which mieht have been heard among the groups of men wandering south in search of woik. - ^ somg of Margareta's other songs tell uJsomething of an important aspect of life in Dalecarlia, the hiil pastures. The calls ofthe herders, working'songs and songs about the hill pastures describe both those aspects of life which aie well-known for their beauty as well the drudgery involved. In the workaday music of the hill pastures - horn melodies and herder's calls - lies the rey to the melodic content ofthe other folk-sones. The growth of interest in folk-musii in recent years has produced many young fiddlers. Almost all of them have found their repertoire and their style ofplaying by listening to the living tradition and by studying older collections of folk music. Margareta Jonth from NAs demonstrates that the same thing is possible with folk-songs. Margareta has both listened and studied. she also contributes her vocal training and her talent. Just listen!

Margareta Jonth, soprano, comes from Nis in Western Datecarlia. Folk- songs - which she sings here - have had their place within and around her since childhood. They have led to her appearance in the historical pageants 'Ingmarsspelen'in 'Himlaspelet'in NAs and Leksand. She has also won several prizes at the major international folk-singing festivals in Wales. She has received her vocal training from such teachers as Kerstin Lindberg-Torlind, Stockholm and Elisabeth Rad6, Vienna, and has attended the State College of Music, Stockholm and the Operastudio -67. She is much in demand as a recitalist, both in Sweden and abroid. In the ABCD song she is accompaniedby her husband, Leif Lyttkens who, besides working as a doctor, plays the classical guitar. The fiddlers Alm Nils Ersson, Kungs Levi Nilsson and Lars .Iobs come from Siljansnds and Leksand. They can often be heard playing with the well- known Leksand fiddler Knis Karl Aronsson who has also contributed some of

7 the songs on this record. In two of the songs Lars Jobs plays a traditional flute. Aim Nils accompaniessome of the songs with a lower part on the fiddle.
