Treasures Left Behind
featuring Arna Rennan with Loretta Kelley.
Treasures left behind are the sounds of the Hardanger fiddle found only in certain districts, and in the songs that accompany dance tunes sung in dialect. Arna has translated several of these songs into English to help us understand more of the immigrants' experience, and the life they left behind.
Vocals, langeleik and translations are by Arna Rennan, Hardanger fiddle is played by Loretta Kelley. Listening to Arna's clear voice, and hearing the vibration of the Hardanger fiddle is like taking a visit to the old country.
